The best!!
Ari was an amazing guide and driver! Super flexible, was able to start the tour a bit later that morning and grab dinner on the way back to the villa that night. Ensured we were safe and well looked after, as well as taking some amazing photos! Lunch was amazing, definitely worth booking!! We saw so many fish, endless colourful coral and even a seahorse. The best day of our Indo trip for sure.

Amazing team and an amazing snorkeling experience
I was lucky to have Gus, the owner, as my tour guide/driver and Didi as my cameraman! I didn’t expect this to be a private solo tour but regardless it ended up being an amazing experience. Gus is really nice to talk to and we had a lot of conversations about different cultures in comparison to Indonesia and Lombok, and he gave me some recommendations and advice for during my stay in Lombok. The duo also made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole tour and it was never rushed to go to the next island. Snorkeling was also amazing! We saw 3 sea turtles, blue coral, blue starfish, sea urchins, nemos, and lots of colorful school of fish and vibrant corals which all made this experience special. There was also time to walk on the beach on some of the islands which were very peaceful. Both Didi and Gus took lots of pictures throughout so I had a lot of memories to take home. Thank you to the team for the amazing day trip!!

Unforgettable day in the Secret Gilis
We had an amazing day exploring the Secret Gilis by boat. The boys were fantastic from start to finish. They were very friendly, professional, and spoke really good English, which made everything easy and relaxed. They picked us up directly from our hotel and dropped us back afterwards, so the whole experience was completely stress free. The snorkelling was really good, with clear water and lots to see. We visited all the islands and stopped for lunch on Gili Layar, which was a really nice and peaceful break. They also took videos and photos of us with a GoPro during the trip and sent everything to us afterwards, which was such a nice extra and gave us great memories to keep. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I would 100 percent recommend it.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your review. we are very happy you enjoyed visiting the Gili Gede area with us. we wish you good health and hope to see you next time. best regards

Fun, private trip with clear, warm water, great snorkelling and flexibility
Great trip. It's a private trip so it's completely flexible - stay as long as you want on one island, skip another or just go with the guide's recommendation. The snorkelling was fun in clear, warm water with plenty to look at and none of the crowds found on the Northern islands. Abundant fish and a few turtles to see too. Lunch wasn't included but we stopped at Gili Layar where there was a good selection of quality, inexpensive Indonesian food right next to the beach - perfect. Our guide, Malachi, was entertaining, knowledgeable and has good English.
Response from the operator: Hai Tom, Thank you for your review. we are very happy that you and your family enjoyed visiting the Gili Gede area with us. we wish you good health and hope to see you next time. best regards

Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lombok.
How much does Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lombok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lombok is not rushed.
Is Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lombok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lombok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lombok and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lombok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lombok?
+
On Outty we rank every Lombok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Anggrek Putih Lombok Cooking Class & Garden Tour, Tetebatu Walking Tour - Rice Terraces, Waterfall & Monkey Forest, Rinjani trekking 2D 1N RIM. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lombok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lombok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Island Hopping Gili Gede, Rengit, Layar, Asahan & Goleng?
