Gili Gede is one of the larger islets off southwest Lombok — a quieter west-coast base compared with the famous northern Gilis. Private boats use local jetties and beach landings for transfers, snorkeling day trips, and island hops to nearby islets such as Asahan, Layar, and Rengit.
Lombok Boat arranges private boat logistics around Gili Gede when you want snorkeling or transfers without shared public ferry schedules.
Getting there
Reach Gili Gede by private boat from the southwest Lombok mainland (Sekotong / nearby jetties). Land transfers from Senggigi, Mataram, or Lembar are typically arranged with the boat departure.
Routes & timing
Day trips often combine Gili Gede with neighbouring snorkeling islets. Crossing times are short within the southwest group; allow a full day when including mainland hotel pickup.
Tips
Confirm your villa or hotel name early — boarding points on and around Gili Gede can vary with tide and local access. Bring swim gear and sun protection for snorkeling stops.
