Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Nusa Penida, built around Lembongan Snorkeling Trips, Manta Bay and Crystal Bay. It is run by The Kara Trip, 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.

Snorkelling off Nusa Penida is about the reef manta rays at Manta Point on the island's south coast, where they are present year-round, feeding and being cleaned in the swell at the base of the cliffs. Boats then move to calmer spots such as Crystal Bay, Gamat Bay and the wall at Buyuk for coral and fish. Between July and October, Crystal Bay is also the place divers come for the oceanic sunfish, mola mola, which rise from deep water in the cooler months. Manta Point is exposed to southern swell and boats skip it when the sea is up, so a day here is always weather-dependent. The crossing from Sanur is thirty to forty-five minutes.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Harbour pickup and drop-off, Complete Snorkeling equipment, Complimentary underwater photographer and Shared underwater camera documentation. It does not cover Swimsuit and Sunscreen, 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.
