Four ways to spend the day
Packages, priced by the boat
A private boat, skipper, fuel and snorkel gear in one per-boat price — not per person. A couple pays the same as a group of eight, which is why groups come out ahead of per-seat tours.
A Gili Islands boat charter package bundles a private boat, skipper, fuel and snorkel gear into one per-boat price, in four shapes: a half-day turtle snorkel, a full-day three-island hopper, a short sunset cruise, and an all-inclusive day with BBQ lunch.
- You pick the boat and the route; we quote one flat rate for the whole vessel.
- Because you charter the entire boat, a couple pays the same as a group of eight.
- There is no government tariff for private Gili charters — every rate is operator-set.
- Arranged by Bali Premium Trip, whose reservations team handles the booking directly.
The four tiers
Which package fits the day
Every tier is the boat plus the day around it. The differences are hours on the water, how many islands you touch, and whether lunch and a sunset leg are in.
Full-Day Three-Gili Hopper
Most asked forAsk for price per boat
- 6–7 hours
- Trawangan → Meno → Gili Air
- All three islands, turtle and statue stop
- Private boat, skipper, fuel, drinking water
- BBQ lunch and sunset leg optional
Sunset Cruise
Ask for price per boat
- 1.5–2 hours
- Off Trawangan's west coast
- Private boat, skipper, fuel, drinking water
- Timed to golden hour
- Snorkel gear optional, no island stops
All-Inclusive BBQ Day
Ask for price per boat
- 7–8 hours
- All three islands + BBQ + sunset
- Turtle and statue snorkel stop
- Hot BBQ lunch on board
- Trip photos included
The turtle-and-statue stop between Meno and Trawangan is a commonly marketed highlight, but turtles, mantas and giant clams are wild. It is an itinerary component, not a promise of what you will see.
Quoted separately
Add-ons you can bundle on
Add-ons let you shape any base tier without jumping to the top package. Each one is listed line by line in your quote.
Seafood BBQ lunch
Grilled fish, prawns, rice and fruit, served on board.
Photos or GoPro
An onboard photographer with edited photos, or a self-shoot rental.
Extra hours
Beyond the booked window, priced by the hour.
Paddleboard or kayak
Carried on board for the calm stops.
Jetty pickup
Coordination from Bangsal or an island jetty, timed to your boat.
When to book
May to August brings clear skies and warm water. June and July are the busiest weeks — the earlier you confirm in that window, the better your choice of vessel and departure time.
September stays good and runs quieter and better value. October to April is not recommended, as heavy rain can disrupt travel.
One logistic that shapes every pickup: the Gilis are vehicle-free. You walk or take a cidomo — a horse-drawn cart — between your accommodation and the jetty, so build a few extra minutes into the meeting time.
