Our Top Reviews
Epic Day Snorkelling The 3 Gilis!
We had the most epic day on the Gili Islands Snorkeling Adventure! Swimming with turtles and spotting pufferfish in the crystal-clear waters was unforgettable. Lunch at Adeng-Adeng on Gili Meno was a highlight—the pizza was amazing! Rinjani Dawn Adventures even gave us a discount since there were 6 of us. Highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Lombok!
