Local tip for booking

If you’re planning to join one of the best-selling boat tours or diving trips on the Gilis, try to arrange your bookings early in the day. Early morning departures not only avoid the busiest crowds but also usually enjoy calmer seas and better visibility underwater. Plus, you’ll often get a calmer ride back before afternoon winds pick up around Bengsal harbour. This little timing trick can make a big difference to your experience, especially during the popular months of July through September.
