Turtles galore! But that’s not everything… There is such a wide range of sea life around the Gili’s, with plenty of fish and critters around the reefs. Our sandy House reef offers a range of nudibranchs, shrimps, crabs, pipe fish and ribbon eels with octopus and cuttlefish also coming for a visit. On our wrecks we often find scorpion fish, lionfish, schools of bat fish, turtles, leaf scorpion fish and file fish.
For those of you who would like to see the bigger fish we have plenty of dive sites to choose from to find these beauties. On dive sites like Shark Point, Manta Point, Deep Turbo and Gili Air wall we often see reef sharks, manta rays (in season January-March), turtles, eagle rays, moray garden and ribbon eels. The schooling fish we see are trevally, barracuda, bat fish and tuna. We also get a drop in from whale sharks on occasions, usually around January to March.
Blue Ring Octopus in Gili Air Despite looking small and harmless, the blue ring octopus carries a deadly venom (tetrodotoxin) that is able to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, meaning that many victims do not realize they have been bitten until respiratory depression and paralysis start. Obviously,…
The diving is incredible! The clear waters and the crazy amount of different fishes totally blown me away!

Gili Air is a 10 minute boat ride from Teluk Nare (Mainland Lombok). We can organize your return transfer to Gili Air with our speedboat, and you would arrive directly in front of the resort. Teluk Nare is a 2-hour drive from Lombok’s international airport and the speed boats run until 4pm. We can arrange transport to Teluk Nare for you from anywhere in Lombok.
Public ferries also run daily from Bangsal, but will depart when full so you could wait anything from 10 minutes to two hours for the boat to depart. Lombok international airport (LOP) is served by many domestic hubs as well as international flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
