The full loop takes most of the day, with drop off back at the hotel in the late afternoon. What Each Island Offers Underwater Gili Air is known for coral gardens and schools of tropical fish close to the surface. The water around its edges tends to suit first timers who want a gentle start before heading further out. Gili Meno is the quietest of the three and draws attention for its underwater statues. Sea turtles feed in the area as well, although sightings depend on the day and are never ...
