Pink Beach & Southeast Gili Islands Snorkeling Tour — Full‑Day Private Boat from Kuta Lombok
Spend a full day island‑hopping off southeast Lombok by private boat: swim around a sandbar, snorkel vibrant reefs at Gili Petelu and Gili Gambir, and relax on two pink‑hued beaches. This full‑day trip blends easy snorkeling with village visits and a beach lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply a generous layer before boarding and reapply after swimming to protect coral and your skin.
Bring a snug mask and fins
A well‑fitting mask and fins make snorkeling easier in currents and help you conserve energy.
Carry waterproof storage
Use a dry bag or waterproof phone case—boats roll and cameras get splashed.
Cash for small purchases and tips
Villages and small vendors accept cash; bring small denominations in Indonesian rupiah.

Local communities on the southeast islets maintain fishing and boatbuilding traditions; Pink Beach’s color comes from fragmented red coral and shells mixed with white sand.
