Dusk on Gili Trawangan. You can see Mt. Rinjani, the highest mountain on Lombok in the distance.
Coral reefs surround the entire east coast of the island and we saw the most amazing array of fish and hawksbill turtles from snorkeling right off the shore. Wish we had an underwater camera!
One of the many bays that we passed on our trip up the northwest coast of Lombok.We headed to the northwest coast of Lombok to Sengiggi and the Gili Islands (30 minute boat ride from Lombok), famed for their snorkeling and diving in crystal clear, warm waters. Although Phi Phi Islands still had the best coral we've seen, Gili Trawangan (the largest of the three Gili Islands) had the best variety of marine life we've seen. There was an abysmal drop-off about 50m off the shore where we saw the whole cast of characters from Finding Nemo, complete with clownfish, angelfish, porcupinefish, and sea turtles.
