About the tour

A Day at the Edge of the Map — Gili Asahan & the Hidden Reefs of the Southern Archipelago

This route is for those who want to venture well beyond the tourist trail and spend a day in near‑pristine tropical quiet. We set course for a rare destination—Gili Asahan, known as Desert Point—and explore little‑known yet stunning snorkel spots along the way.

Tour itinerary
Serangan Port — Departure
We leave early in the morning from Serangan Port and head south, skirting Bali’s southern coast toward the islets off Lombok.
Snorkel stop “Blue Coral”
Our first stop is a vivid coral reef with crystal‑clear water and colorful marine life—perfect to warm up and “dive into” the day.
Gili Goleng — Snorkeling off a secluded islet
A little‑known islet with a rich underwater ecosystem. There are hardly any boats here—just plenty of fish, turtles, and soft corals.
Gili Asahan (Desert Point) — Secluded paradise and a powerful surf break
A near‑untouched islet south of Lombok that tourists rarely reach. No hotels, no crowds—just white sand, turquoise water, and the feeling of standing at the edge of the world.
The spot is especially famous among surfers: Desert Point is one of Indonesia’s most powerful and beautiful left‑hand reef breaks. Even if you’re not on a board, the waves are spectacular and the scenery truly wild and free.
Here you can swim, stroll the shore, enjoy the quiet, or simply relax on deck to the sound of the surf.
Return to Serangan
After a full day, enjoy a smooth, unhurried passage back to port.
