Full description

Head for the island of Nusa Penida and embark on a snorkeling adventure. Take advantage of 3 different stops to swim with Manta Rays, enjoy lunch on the beach, then spend the afternoon exploring the mangrove forest.

Benefit from pick-up at your hotel in selected areas of Bali or wait directly at the ferry office (depending on the option selected), and then journey to Nusa Penida, located 20 kilometers off the southeast coast.

The largest of Bali's 3 sister islands (Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Ceningan), Nusa Penida is much less developed and remains home to abundant and pristine nature. Marvel at the dramatic landscape and steep cliffs along the coast as you make your way to some of the island's best snorkel sites.

Upon arrival at the protected bay of Manta Bay, discover an ocean rich with plankton that attracts beautiful reef manta rays that can sometimes measure up to an impressive 4 or 5 meters in wing span. Go to 3 of the best snorkel sites on the island, including popular spots (depending on conditions) such as Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh, and Gamat Bay.

As the strong swells of the Indian Ocean can impact conditions, the situation will be carefully monitored to take you to where it is safe to swim with the rays less than 1.5 meters from the surface of the sea.

If conditions are not suitable, your snorkeling itinerary will be adjusted accordingly, as your safety is always the number one priority. Following your magical snorkeling adventure, break for a delicious beachside lunch at Mangrove Beach on Nusa Lembongan. The lunch is served as an Indonesian food buffet. Then, get the chance to explore the mangrove forest in the afternoon by kayak or stand-up paddle board.  

Includes
  • Pickup and drop-off at hotels in Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Sanur, Canggu, and Ubud (if option is selected)
  • Guide
  • Round-trip fast boat transfers (from Sanur and Nusa Lembongan)
  • Transportation from the water activity center back to the boat

The boat to and from Nusa Lembongan was cramped hot and very uncomfortable but a necessary evil in what was otherwise and great trip. The bay where the Mantas were was very choppy and hard to swim and snorkel in. after one swim without seeing any mantas we decided not to get in again with others in the group but those that did get in saw the rays. The other two bays were a lot calmer and crystal clear. We saw loads of fish and the guides were feeding them. I got some incredible videos and the guide also takes a video and photos for you to buy. The food was lovely and a good selection. There is a bit of waiting around because there are a lot of people there but you are split into smaller groups. The kayak at the end was nice and the mangroves were a good experience but we were so tired from the day that it wasn't necessary but it was good.

The activity of snorkelling was nice, boat team was great, however as it can happen - it is not a zoo, we weren't lucky to see any mantas. Other snorkelling spots were quite nice with the coral and fishes. Boats for the activities good, full but not overpacked ads in some activities (approx 15 people per boat). Transportation wise, driver to pick up and drop off from the/at the hotel was good. Speed boat was okay, but fully packed, also felt like wasting a lot of time to get all extra left empty sits covered on the way back.

AMAZING TOUR! We were really lucky and ended up seeing dolphins, mantas, and sea turtles on our trip. The staff were very helpful and thorough. The swimming can be a little rough, especially at the first manta point, so be sure to listen to the guide. They will also take and provide photos (for a fee) and they came out stunning. Would definitely go again.
