Amazing tour. We were picked up in the morning, at our hotel, right on time. There were drinks and some snacks in buffet style available before going on the boat, which was very nice. We went to Manta Bay first, the team of guides made it a priority to see the mantas first. It was magical to see the mantas. The team was very accommodating to people who were struggling a bit more with snorkeling, letting them hold on to the life ring and calming them down. We moved onto the next snorkeling spot and on the way spotted dolphins! Which was very lucky. The other two snorkeling spots had turtles, colorful fish and coral reefs which were beautiful. On the boat they handed out towels and water bottles. We then went back and had Indonesian buffet lunch which was very good as well. Then we had a beautiful calming kayaking tour through the mangroves. The perfect end to the tour. We got brought back right to our hotel.

The experience to see the manta rays in the water was amazing! The team of guides were brilliant to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and could see all of the sea life. They provided life jackets for those who weren’t as confident in the water and were in beside us with safety rings, making sure everyone was safe. We seen manta rays, turtles and an assortment of different fish at the coral reefs at the other stops. After this a very tasty lunch was provided to us before setting off on the mangrove tour on the kayaks which again was great fun.

Full description

Your day will start with pick-up at your hotel in Lembongan or wait at the Yellow Bridge if your hotel is at Celingan. 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. Then, go to 3 of the best snorkel sites on the island, including popular spots 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.

Depending on the option selected, you'll be dropped off at your hotel or break for a delicious beachside lunch at Paradise 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, stand-up paddle board, or private gondola.
