Full description

This is a 12-hour experience in Nusa Penida. It is run by Bali Boat activities, 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 driver, Mineral water, Government tax, All Entrance tickets and Snorkeling equipment such as snorkel. It does not cover Food and other drinks 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.

Bali Boat activities 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 Bali Boat activities before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Both taxi drivers (ubud to port) and the tour guide for island penida were very very nice and hospitable, we throughly enjoyed our day trip there and were offered pictures, accompanied by the tour guide everywhere, he had extensive knowledge and driving skills and was so well planned and set out. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Great and excellent! would definitely recommend.

Attività troppo concentrate tra snorkeling e visita a terra. Non consiglio la combo delle due attività perché per raggiungere il punto più bello di Nusa Penida va fatto un lungo pezzo in auto considerando anche il traffico come quello delle città in Bali. Abbiamo passato buona parte della giornata in viaggio vedendo poco. Le guide erano solo accompagnatori e non davano alcuna info o spiegazione. Pensavamo fosse un tour invece è solo un servizio di spostamento da una cosa all’altra. Non lo rifarei. Farei solo la visita a terra. Diverso per chi dedica due giorni.

Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben Mantas gesehen,.Die anderen Schnorchelspots waren ebenfalls sehenswert. Der Fahrer auf Nusa Penida fuhr sehr sicher trotz der Widrigen Straßenverhältnisse.Sein englisch war nicht so gut und er hat die Sehenswürdigkeiten nur abgefahren. Diese waren exzellent, aber von Touristen überfüllt und nicht so einfach zugänglich. Trotzdem kann man eindrucksvolle Fotos von den angegebenen Location machen

Punti di forza: - 3 punti snorkeling, con possibilità di vedere: nel primo delfini o mante (a seconda, noi abbiamo visto i primi) in mare aperto, nel secondo varie specie di pesci (pesce palla incluso), nel terzo i coralli e le tartarughe vicino a riva. - posto carino nell’entroterra dove ti portano a mangiare - autista gentile e disponibile, anche se il nostro parlava poco inglese Punti da migliorare: - orari dei trasporti via mare: ritardi di quasi 1h sia per la barca che ci ha portato a Nusa Penida, sia per quella con cui abbiamo fatto snorkeling - non siamo riusciti a fare tutte le tappe i

The only thing that was seamless was the pick up & drop from/to my hotel. Eka & Team at Nusa Penida were not coordinated - the driver at Nusa Penida was not at the meeting point when all boats arrived - after a few frantic calls n msgs to Eka, he appeared with my name placard. Meanwhile authorities made me pay an extra 25,000IDR as Tourist entry charges, which After speaking to Eka, Eka said he will tell the driver to have them return the amt, however they made the driver remove the cash & give it to me. There was no communication on timelines & what time we would need to leave to make sure we

The guide was amazing. incredible energy. We arrived late at the island and could not do as much as we would have liked. Perhaps an earlier pick up would be better

Zuerst wurden wir im Hotel abgeholt und sind dann zum Port Sanur gefahren. Von dort ging es dann nach Nusa Penida, wo wir dann von unserem Fahrer für den ganzen Tag abgeholt wurden. Zunächst ging es zum Schnorcheln, wir hatten das Glück Mantas zu sehen. Es gab auch Gratis die Fotos mit einer GoPro von unserem Guide später dazu. Danach gab es Lunch und dann zu den drei Stops auf Nusa Penida. insgesamt hat die Tour Spaß gemacht und war gut organisiert. Der Fahrer auf Nusa Penida konnte nur sehr gebrochenes Englisch, daher konnte man sich nur mit den Basics unterhalten. Er hat aber auch super Fot

All the places are terribly crowded and for every nice spot there is 60 ppl who wanna take selfies.. Also the tour driver didn't speak English or explain anything to us and the restaurant we stopped at the food was really really bad and really expensive. Pls don't take ppl to this restaurant again.

The price does not cover food and other drinks 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.
