Gili Islands Highlight: The One Activity You’ll Love (With or Without Kids)

Our Favorite Activity in the Gili Islands: A 5-Hour Catamaran Cruise with Utopija

One of our favorite experiences in the Gili Islands, Lombok Indonesia, was the 5-hour catamaran cruise organized by Utopija. Even though the weather was slightly overcast that day, we still had an unforgettable time snorkeling and spotting sea turtles in the crystal-clear water.

The friendly Utopija crew provides all snorkeling equipment, so you don’t need to worry about bringing masks or goggles—although you can bring your own if you prefer. They even take photos for you during the trip, which is such a thoughtful touch!

The owner was incredibly welcoming and made sure everyone had a great time. A delicious breakfast and lunch were included, and alcoholic drinks were available for purchase. Even with the cloudy weather, the day turned into a fun little boat party with good music, friendly travelers, and a few complimentary drinks—thanks to the generous host.

It was a relaxing, easy-going experience and one we highly recommend—whether you’re traveling with kids (if they’re comfortable on the water) or enjoying a romantic day as a couple.

If you’re looking for a way to spend five peaceful hours on the ocean, soaking in the views and island vibes, this is the perfect activity to add to your Gili itinerary.
