- Replies land within a few hours in Bali time, and same-day for messages sent before early evening.
- You talk to a person who knows the jetties, the turtle stops and how the tides shape your day.
Five things speed up the quote
What to put in the first message
The more you share up front, the faster we can quote an exact per-boat price.
Group size
Pricing is per boat, not per person — eight friends often pay the same boat rate as four.
Trip length
Half-day of roughly three to four hours, or a full day of six to eight.
Priorities
Turtle snorkelling, the Meno statue site, a sunset cruise, or a mix of all three.
Pickup point
Which island or Lombok harbour you are starting from.
So you know what to ask for
The four shapes we quote
All prices are per boat, set by the operator, and quoted fresh when you message. There is no official government tariff — any figure comes from the operator directly, never an authority.

- Hull matched to the group
- Specific reef sites on request
- Best for families and larger groups
Wild turtle, manta and clam sightings are common on these routes but never guaranteed — we say so when we plan your stops, not after.
No cars, so no vague "the beach"
Where we meet you
The Gilis have no cars or motorbikes, so you walk or take a cidomo. That shapes every pickup, which is why we always send a fixed, easy-to-find meeting point.
Gili Trawangan
The main harbour jetty, near the boat landing. A short walk or cidomo from most hotels.
Gili Meno
The main public jetty on the east side. A walk from most bungalows.
Gili Air
The main harbour jetty. Walk or cidomo from the village.
Lombok mainland
The Bangsal harbour area, reached by car, then a local boat across.
When to send your dates
The May to September dry season gives the calmest seas and best underwater visibility.
June and July are the busiest weeks and book out early — send those dates well ahead.
September is quieter and better value, with good weather and occasional showers.
October to April is not recommended, as regular rain disrupts travel and cuts visibility.
