About Turtle Beach Snorkel Point

Turtle Beach on Gili Air's east coast is famous for being one of the most reliable turtle-spotting snorkel sites in Southeast Asia. The shallow reef just offshore is home to green and hawksbill sea turtles that feed on the seagrass, and snorkellers regularly see multiple turtles within minutes of entering the water. No boat is needed: you can swim out directly from the beach.

Informal boat operators work from the beach offering trips to deeper reefs if you want a more structured experience. Snorkel gear can be rented from beachside stalls. An absolute must-do for anyone visiting Gili Air.
