Bicycle
If you're staying on Gili Trawangan, rent a bicycle from one of the local shops. Head towards the east side of the island and ride along the pathway towards the harbor. When you reach the harbor, take the path that leads to the beach where snorkeling tours typically depart. Look for signs indicating tours to the Turtle Snorkeling Area, or ask locals for directions.
Boat
From Gili Trawangan, you can take a traditional wooden boat or a speedboat to the Turtle Snorkeling Area. These boats can be hired from the beach near the harbor. Expect to pay around 200,000 to 300,000 IDR per person for a round trip. The boat ride takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand and confirm the return time.
Walking
If you are on Gili Meno or Gili Air, you can also arrange a boat trip directly from your island. Walk to the main beach area where the boats are stationed and ask about tours to the Turtle Snorkeling Area. It's a short ride from either island. Prices are similar, and you can usually find both shared and private options.
