In just two hours, be whisked away to three of the most famous, breathtaking underwater locations in the Gili archipelago. First, stop at the world-renowned Nest—a hauntingly beautiful underwater sculpture by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor. Located just off the coast of Gili Meno, these 48 life-sized human figures are arranged in a circle, symbolizing the circle of life. Over time, they have become a thriving artificial reef, colonized by colorful soft corals and schools of damselfish. Swimming among these statues is a surreal, ethereal experience that provides the ultimate Instagram-worthy photo opportunity.
Next, cruise over to the famous Turtle Point near Gili Trawangan. The Gili Islands are known as the turtle capital of the region, and this spot offers an incredibly high chance of encountering magnificent Green and Hawksbill sea turtles. Watch these gentle giants glide effortlessly through the crystal-clear water, or spot them resting peacefully on the ocean floor. Your guide will help you spot them from a respectful distance, ensuring a safe and eco-friendly encounter.
Wrap up your underwater safari at the vibrant Blue Coral Reef, typically located near Gili Air or Gili Meno. This spot is famous for its rare, striking blue heliopora corals and bustling marine biodiversity. Here, you will find yourself surrounded by a kaleidoscope of tropical fish, including clownfish (Nemo), parrotfish, surgeonfish, and occasional moray eels. The shallow, calm waters make it an effortless and delightful swim for snorkelers of all skill levels.
