Private Snorkeling Gili Trawangan: 3 Spots with GoProPrivate snorkeling activity at Gili Trawangan with a dedicated English-speaking instructor, visiting three spots (underwater statues, turtle point, coral reef) aboard a glass-bottomed boat. Includes snorkeling gear, GoPro camera with photos and videos, bottled water, and four hours on the water. Minimum age 13.Is it for me?Book this if you want your own instructor and no other snorkelers in the group—the private setup means the guide focuses entirely on you and captures everything on camera so you can actually enjoy the moment instead of filming it yourself.
Snorkeling Gili Trawangan: Private Tour with Turtles & DroneA private snorkeling tour from Gili Trawangan takes you by glass-bottom boat to underwater statues, the Fish Garden, coral reefs and turtle hotspots, with an English-speaking guide and your choice of a 2-hour, 3-hour sunset or 4-hour morning departure. GoPro footage is included on all tours; the 3-hour sunset and 4-hour morning options add complimentary drone photos and video shot from Gili Meno's white-sand beaches. Morning tours start around 8:30am, sunset tours around 2:30pm, and both times adjust to your preference. Bottled water comes with every tour; sunset departures include one beer or soft drink per person.Is it for me?Book the 4-hour morning tour if you want the most time underwater and the drone footage to show what the reefs look like from above. The 3-hour sunset tour suits you if you'd rather watch the light change than chase the sun, and still get the island stop and aerial photos. The 2-hour morning option works if you're fitting snorkeling into a shorter day and don't need the Gili Meno beach time or drone coverage.

Snorkeling gear, glass-bottom boat and an English-speaking guide are included.Is it for me?Choose the 2-hour option if you want to sample the main snorkeling sites without a long time commitment; pick the 4-hour option if you'd rather have a full morning or afternoon with a beach break built in, so you can pace yourself between the reef, the statues, the turtles and the fish garden without rushing.

The five hours end with dinner and sunset, which means you are back on land before dark and have the evening free.
