Review of Day Trip Bali’s Nusa Penida boat tour, with four snorkel stops, manta rays, lunch, Kelingking Cliff, costs, and practical tips.

“My wife and I loved the snorkeling. Fantastic experience. We saw two dolphins from the boat, one turtle while snorkeling, and many closeup encounter with Mantas at the last stop. We will cherish the Mantas experience. Ceco and Aldo were excellent guides and were very helpful with our lack of experience, made us feel safe and enabled us to have a great time.”

Review of a Nusa Penida day trip from Bali with four snorkel stops, manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, photos, and boat transfers.

“Very experienced crew (our guide was Handsom and a couple of others). Crew is friendly. Always available to answer any questions. Very enthusiastic to make sure way saw the huge manata rays and also turtles. Knowledgable about water conditions and tide. The restaraunt after the tour was very good. The pick up and drop off location was convineant. They also had water and fruits onboard. They had snorkels and life jackets too. The crew catered very well to participants according to their level of comfort / swimming ability in the water. Highly recommended.”

4.Nusa Penida Snorkeling Adventure (Private & All-Inclusive)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,197 reviews · from $129

Review of Nusa Penida’s private snorkeling day trip, with manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, transfers, photos, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We were fortunate to catch a manta ray on our trip, as it is my understanding they do not visit the bay as frequently as they used to. Something to the tune of 3-4x every 6 months. Getting to the exclusive beaches will either take time, physical stamina, or both, so plan your day accordingly, and make sure you rest up before going, because you don't want to miss the last boat going back at 4:30, otherwise you are stuck on the island. Other locations on the tour were simply amazing. One can't be careless when approaching as some spots do not have any guard rails, lol. Still fun though.”

Review of Bali’s Blue Lagoon snorkeling tour with Lempuyang Temple, lunch, private transport, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“Our guide Agus was the complete highlight of the tour! He was incredibly nice from the moment he picked us up, to the moment he dropped us home. He showed us the most amazing scenery and answered all of our questions. Next time we come to Bali, we will be booking this tour again mainly because of him. The snorkeling was of course very fun as well. There was so much to see underwater!”

Review of Bali’s Blue Lagoon snorkeling and waterfall tour, with private pickup, lunch, calm waters, family appeal, value, and practical tips.

“Although the places we visited were nice, I qualify this as a bad experience. First of all, the driver Adi, had borrowed a car with double tinted windows, so it was difficult to look out or take pictures, In the end we just drove with open windows. Second, from the moment we took off he drove as if he was in the Indy 500. Several times we asked for him to slow down so we could see things and take pics. He also admitted himself he spoke hardly no English and when we used our translate app to ask what a certain site or building was, he would answer:" Oh…”

Review of Bali Blue Lagoon snorkeling from Seminyak, with private transfers, two reef stops, Indonesian lunch, optional waterfalls, and practical tips.

“The Bali Blue Lagoon snorkelling activity is a fantastic experience! We started our day with a private pickup from our hotel to the snorkelling site, making it easy and comfortable. Once we got to the Blue Lagoon, the snorkelling gear is provided, and the guides are friendly and helpful. After snorkelling, you get to enjoy a tasty lunch with local Balinese dishes, which is a great way to relax and recharge. The whole trip is well-organised, especially with a private driver picking you up from your hotel and you not having to worry about arranging any transportation. Only bad today was bad weather which prevented us from snorkelling at the…”

“First part of the trip (snorkeling) was amazing. Expect on one spot we stopped for 10 minutes. That was strange. Lots of activities but not enough time. At the start we lost 45 mons since they put us on a tour an hour later than it was in the program.”
