about us
Discover the Ocean with a Local You Can Trust
Hi, I’m Sholikin, the founder, owner, and guide behind Sholikin Tour and Snorkeling Guide. I was born and raised right here on Gili Air, and the ocean has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I learned the sea’s rhythms, the best snorkeling spots, and how to move with the tides. Today, I get to share all of that with travelers from around the world.
I started this business not just to offer snorkeling trips — but to give people a real, personal experience of the Gilis. When you snorkel with me, you’re not joining a crowded group. You’re riding on my own glass-bottom boat, going at your own pace, and visiting the reefs, turtles, and coral gardens I’ve known since childhood.
Whether it’s your first time snorkeling or you’re an experienced adventurer, I’ll make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and excited to explore the underwater world.
