Located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Indonesia comprises more than 17,000 islands. Among them are the paradisiacal Gili Islands between Bali and Lombok. When we describe the Gili Islands, we think of one thing above all: sea turtles! Nowhere else in the world have we seen so many turtles in one place.

The Gili-Islands
From both Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, we were able to snorkel along the reef directly from the shore and repeatedly encountered these calm and serene creatures.
As the sun was just rising, we grabbed our flippers. There was no other person in sight. This allowed us to fully enjoy our time with the turtles and ensure that the encounters were respectful and always on the animals‘ terms.
