Full description

This is a 8-hour experience from Nusa Penida, built around Port of Benoa and Nusa Lembongan. It is run by Bali Hai Cruises, 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.

Pickup is offered from Canggu and Ubud; the exact spot and time are agreed with Bali Hai Cruises once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off from selected Bali areas, Return cruise between Benoa Harbour and Nusa Lembongan, Live DJ onboard, Morning and afternoon tea and Snorkeling equipment and instruction. It does not cover Scuba diving, Aquanauts underwater walking experience, Single or tandem parasailing and Personal expenses, 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.

Hotel pickup in Nusa Penida. Bali Hai Cruises confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in.

Very well organised. Lunch on the shore was lovely and visit to the village quite interesting. Snorkelling was in too deep water to enjoy corals or fish. Not really inspiring. The other negative is that throughout the boat ride (~ 2 hours each way) DJ played mostly techno music that was enjoyed by the young staff but not the guests that were mostly families with children. It would have been better without the music.

great day, the pontoon time is only 1 1/2 hrs but to be honest its enough. The food was lovely, plenty of choice. the island time was good and we did the little bus tour round the island as not massive beach people, that was good. only 30 mins but took you to 2 different spots which were well worth it. driver pickup excellent too.

Super fun day and well run! Picked up straight from our villa and returned, no issues. The snorkelling was average, not much to see, but the other pontoon activities were really good. Highlight was the lunch and time on the island, great day out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Nusa Penida. Bali Hai Cruises confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover scuba diving — available at additional cost, aquanauts underwater walking experience — available at additional cost, single or tandem parasailing — available at additional cost and personal expenses. 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.
