Full description

This is a 30-minute experience in Nusa Penida. It is run by GILITRANSFERS by EKAWISATA, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three islands off Bali's south-east coast, about 200 square kilometres of limestone with cliffs on the south and west and a few villages on the north coast where the boats land. It has no traffic to speak of but its roads are narrow and slow, which is why a day trip covers either the west side (Kelingking, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong) or the east (Diamond Beach, Atuh, Tree House), not both. Fast boats from Sanur take thirty to forty-five minutes, run from around 7:00, and are cancelled or delayed in a big swell. Bring cash: card machines are rare and the ATMs are unreliable.

The price covers Transfer tickets. It does not cover Hotel transfer in Bali, Meals and Drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

GILITRANSFERS by EKAWISATA sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with GILITRANSFERS by EKAWISATA before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

This runs outdoors, so the operator can call it off for rain, wind or sea conditions, and that decision is usually made on the day. If they cancel, you choose: another date, or your money back in full. We do not keep a booking fee on a tour that did not run.

The ride was smooth going to Nusa Penida, coming back the driver was speeding so it was a bit bumpy but overall great service. Will definitely use Ganesa again.

It was a pleasant trip. After checking in at the counter, we went to a waiting area until we were escorted to the boat. Unfortunately, the departure was a little later than planned, but it was still within reason.

Very accommodating and cheaper than the advertised fast boats going to Nusa Penida, yet offering the same level of service. At first, I was hesitant to book because of the news about fast boat accidents, but once you’re here, you’ll see that all the fast boat operators provide good service and prioritize your safety.

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the manta snorkeling tour today! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and I felt completely comfortable the entire time. A huge thank you to Rio, our driver, and Ian, our snorkeling guide — both were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. They made sure everyone felt safe and relaxed, and their positive energy really made the trip special. Seeing the manta rays was unforgettable, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I would 100% do this again and highly recommend it to anyone considering this tour. Thank you

We went with another carrier but I guess as usual everyone has a finger in the pie in Bali. But the boat ride was great, smooth and friendly staff

Very good! Harbour staff and the boarding process is average buts that’s not the boat company but the harbour itself

Frequently Asked Questions

GILITRANSFERS by EKAWISATA sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover hotel transfer in bali, meals and drinks. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
The strait to Nusa Penida and the manta sites take open-ocean swell. On big days the operator diverts to sheltered sites or cancels the crossing, and that is their call on the morning, not ours. If a cancellation is theirs you are refunded in full. Keep phones and passports in a dry bag; boarding at some harbours means wading from the beach.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
