What to bring and prepare on Snorkeling tour secret Island

When packing for a snorkeling tour to the Secret Gilis (Gili Nanggu, Gili Sudak, and Gili Kedis), you need to prepare for a full day on an open boat with no standard shops on the smaller islands.

Essential Gear & Clothing

  • Swimwear: Wear your swimsuit under your clothes since changing facilities on the islands are very basic or unavailable.
  • Rash Guard: A UV-protective swim shirt shields your back from sunburn while snorkeling and protects against occasional stinging plankton.
  • Quick-Dry Towel: Pack a lightweight microfiber towel that dries fast between island stops.
  • Water Shoes / Booties: Crucial for walking on the coral fragments around Gili Nanggu and Gili Kedis to protect your feet.
  • Dry Bag: A 10L to 20L waterproof bag is essential to protect your phone, wallet, and dry clothes from ocean spray on the small motorized outrigger boat.

Sun & Health Protection

  • Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Standard sunscreens damage the coral reefs. Use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and apply it 30 minutes before entering the water.
  • Anti-Fog Spray: If you bring your own snorkel mask, a small bottle of anti-fog spray or baby shampoo keeps your mask clear.
  • Motion Sickness Medication: Take this 30 minutes before boarding if you are prone to seasickness, as the small boats can rock on open water.

  • You can make a deposit payment using our bank account or PayPal.
