Amazing time! - This tour has been the highlight of our trip so far! Had an incredible time swimming amongst the coral, tropical fish and even sea turtles. We paid an extra $20(cad) on-site to have our guide get GoPro footage for us and it was so worth it. The captain and the guide were extremely knowledgeable and they got some amazing shots of my spouse and I under water. Paying extra for the private tour was so worth it. I loved that it was just us and the guide. Also the lunch was delicious. If I could offer advice to future snorkelers interested in this tour, rent snorkels along the beach and practice diving underwater before you take the tour. Wear a rash guard because you won’t really have time to reapply sunscreen and let it set before you go from stop to stop. Lastly, if you pay for the GoPro footage make sure you have lots of room on your phone! 10/10 would recommend.

Snorkelling Tour - We had a great time on our snorkelling tour, it ended up just the two of us on the boat which gave us loads of time to see so much and the experience felt more personal. We loved seeing all the turtles (so many!!!) and both guys on the boat were lovely ☺️

Fabulous snorkel trip - What a lovely day, Ekki and Aria (apologies if I’ve spelt your names wrong) were great, so friendly and helpful. The boat ride was a lot of fun, quite choppy but I really enjoyed that. Saw some beautiful turtles and Aria got some great footage with our Go Pro for us. Personally I could take or leave the statues, a bit of a gimmick and stacks of people in the water. As it’s a private tour I’d advise skipping those unless you want to see them of course. We didn’t do the last snorkel as our daughter who’d been unwell had had enough so they took us to see the baby turtles in the Gili Meno sanctuary which were super cute. Lounge was really nice and we paid a bit extra and had a BBQ snapper as well. Overall I’d highly recommend this day Seems like only yesterday I was reading the reviews deciding what to book! No regrets here

Unforgettable experience 😍 - We had an unforgettable day and can only recommend the tour to anyone! The Guids were super nice and very competent! You even got a Guid in the water that shows you everything. We were allowed to snorkel at 3 spots, had on the 4th. Island lunch and on the 5th. Island again a stay. We would do you tour again and again!

Nice but not enough snorkelling. - This tour did all the things listed in the description. The crew were very helpful and accommodating and there were zero issues with the boat. The snorkelling spots were great and I saw 6 turtles, the over crowded statues and some lovely coral. The young man who snorkelled with us was a good guide. However, I was a bit disappointed as the length of time at each snorkelling spot was shorter than the description specified.

Disappointing, save your money - I feel compelled to write this review to help others avoid the disappointment we experienced. As experienced snorkelers who have explored waters worldwide, this tour stood out as one of our worst experiences. The safety concerns were significant throughout the tour. The boarding and disembarking procedures near the boat's propeller were chaotic, with guides giving conflicting instructions about when to move. When my husband's defective snorkel equipment caused him to inhale water, we found ourselves far from the boat with no immediate assistance. They also failed to mention that water wouldn't be provided until lunchtime, leaving us dehydrated during the morning portion of the tour. The communication issues were equally frustrating. While we're typically comfortable with language barriers, the complete lack of engagement or friendliness from the guides was problematic. We received zero information about what we were seeing or doing throughout the tour. Remarkably, the only real interaction we had was when a guide asked to take our picture "for the boss." The lunch situation was particularly chaotic - we were suddenly informed of price restrictions on our meal options, with no guides present to help navigate the confusion. Rather than enjoying the underwater scenery, we spent most of our time struggling to keep up with the guide and boat. The experience felt rushed and impersonal, culminating in one guide abruptly announcing "back to Gili T" before the tour properly concluded, perfectly capturing their apparent lack of enthusiasm for their work. We ended up renting snorkel gear on our own afterward and had a much better experience exploring independently. This is especially disappointing given the wonderful, kind people we've met elsewhere in Gili T. The 5-star reviews for this tour are completely baffling - our experience absolutely does not deserve them so I’m assuming we had different guides. If you're considering this tour, I strongly recommend saving your money and renting equipment to explore on your own instead. You'll have a more relaxed, enjoyable experience and can go at your own pace without feeling rushed or ignored.
