3 spots are better for snorkeling in gili Trawangan, they are the best spots to see turtles around Gili T.
North of the islands of Gili Trawangan, Halik
The nicest and the best snorkeling spot of Gili Trawangan, with beautiful corals and turtles. Depth 4-7m.
This shallow area is a coral garden with many fish and turtles.
Be careful
- the drift is often very strong, you could finish to the west side of Gili Trawangan
- the access could be difficult during the low tides.
North-East of Gili T, Turtle point
The easiest spot for swimming with turtles. Shallow area, often, you can stand up but don’t do it to preserve the bottom. Many green turtles on a sandy/dead bottom. Easy access from the beach. The turtles are eating the algae, please try to don’t disturb them.
Be careful
- there are many boats.
South-East, Biorocks
Many artificial reefs include the scooters presented on the movie. Often, you can also snorkeling with turtles.
Be careful
- the drift could be very strong to north or south.
- many boats (especially the speed boats, they don’t really watch)
They are the best snorkeling spots in Gili Trawangan (or Gili T). If you want to discover the sealife, the underwater statues (The Nest) around the others Gili islands, you can book one of our Gili islands tours with our snorkeling center Trawangan.
Of course, you can do snorkeling on the other parts of Trawangan, usually swimming there is nice too.
