fantastische

Het was een waanzinnig leuke ervaring om vanuit Lombok naar de Gili eilanden te gaan! Het was een privé tour en de gids heeft alle fantastische plekken om te snorkelen laten zien !! Ik zou het iedereen aanraden en ondanks de soms toeristische plekken met veel mensen, hadden wij het geluk om alleen te zwemmen met schildpadden en zo fantastische films en foto’s te maken met mijn eigen meegebrachte onderwater camera!!

From Lombok: Gili Islands Snorkeling Day Trip.

Anto and his Captain were excellent tour guides to the Gilis. They made sure we were well prepared and entertained us with stories and answering all of our questions. The cold drinks and pinpoint delivery to the snorkelling hot spots was great, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
