OVERVIEW

The reef that outshines its neighbors

Gili Rengit, sometimes spelled Gili Ringit, is a tiny, uninhabited island roughly ten minutes further by boat past Gili Layar. It doesn't have any of the small infrastructure its neighbor has, but it has earned a real reputation among people who actually dive and snorkel this part of Lombok, one dedicated snorkeling source specifically called its coral out as some of the healthiest in the entire area, better than Layar's.

Crystal clear water and a genuinely healthy reef are the main draw here over its neighbors. It's also known locally as a decent fishing spot, on top of the snorkeling and diving.
