A stay in Tetebatu can combine the countryside with a day by the sea. Gili Kondo and Gili Bidara are part of the East Lombok island outing described in our Explore section. This is a separate coastal excursion from the hotel, involving a road transfer and a boat, rather than a beach within walking distance of Tetebatu.
How does the day work from Tetebatu?
Our Gili Kondo and Gili Bidara day trip describes a drive to Pantai Kondo, a boat journey, snorkeling and island stops. The published programme includes a pause to see the large Lian trees on the way to the coast.
Use the programme to understand the shape of the outing, then confirm the arrangements for your travel date. Road conditions, the chosen stops and sea conditions can affect the day. Keep it free of another major excursion or a tight onward connection.
Which islands will you visit?
The activity describes Gili Kondo, Gili Bidara and a snorkeling area towards Gili Kapal. The exact order and suitability of stops should be discussed with the team and boat operator. A responsible plan allows the route to change if conditions call for it.
Tell us whether your priority is time in the water, a relaxed island lunch or a mixture of both. This helps clarify what is possible, particularly when members of the group have different swimming confidence.
Questions to ask about snorkeling
- Which equipment is provided and are suitable sizes available?
- What flotation equipment and supervision are included?
- Is the outing suitable for everyone in our group?
- How are weather-related changes handled?
- What transfers, meals and other costs are included?
Snorkeling conditions are not fixed. Visibility, currents and the weather can change, and a particular wildlife sighting cannot be promised. Follow the local team's instructions and ask for clarification before entering the water.
What should you bring?
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, drinking water and a dry place for valuables. Ask whether there are any additional requirements for the day's boat trip. Pack lightly enough to move comfortably between the vehicle, boat and beach.
In the water, avoid standing on or touching coral and give marine life space. Bring packaging and other waste back with you. These small choices help keep the places you visit pleasant for future visitors and the people who use them.
A day trip or an overnight island stay?
Our Explore section lists a separate Gili Kondo camping activity. Camping has different arrangements from a day trip. If you are considering it, ask about equipment, sleeping arrangements and current availability rather than assuming they are part of the snorkeling day.
You can return to your room at Les Rizieres Lombok after a day excursion. Contact us with your dates, group size and preferences to discuss an East Lombok island day.
