The Experience

Before You Go

Morning departure

Book an early start—winds are usually lighter and visibility is better for snorkeling before midday.

Reef-safe sunscreen

Use reef-safe SPF to protect coral and reduce skin irritation in saltwater.

Foot protection

Bring water shoes for walking on rocky or coral-strewn beaches, especially at low tide.

Hydration and shade

Carry a reusable water bottle and a hat; shade is limited on the smaller islands.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Tawun village beach and low-key seafood warungs where fishermen sell their catch
  • A shallow coral garden on the southern side of Gili Nanggu that often has sea turtles in early morning

Wildlife

  • Green sea turtle
  • Parrotfish and butterflyfish schools

Conservation Note

Corals are sensitive to warming and anchors; choose operators that use mooring buoys, practice no-touch snorkeling and promote reef-safe sunscreen.

Sekotong’s fishing villages have long used traditional jukung boats; the islands have remained lightly developed compared with Lombok’s northern Gilis.
