Full description

This is a 9-hour experience in Nusa Penida. It is run by Indo Compass, 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 Private fast boat transportation, Guide, Snorkeling equipment, Towels and Underwater photos and videos with GoPro. It does not cover Breakfast 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.

Indo Compass 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 Indo Compass 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.

My friend and I had an amazing time on the tour! We had such a great day with the team. Our guides, Fernando and Aldo, were so kind and attentive, and they went out of their way to take great photos of us. They also made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the tour. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed it. :)

Very nice experience. We met our guide in coffee shop close to the beach. Ho took all of us to the boat and gave is all the equipment for snorkeling. We’ve been lucky enough to see 4 Manta Rays at the first observation point and lots of sea turtles in the next dives. Lunch was included and done in a restaurant with a beautiful view over the ocean. I strongly recommed this trip if you want to spend a day just 40 minutes away from Bali island. A special thank to Ariel, our guide, for taking care of us and shooting amazing photos and videos

We had the most incredible snorkeling trip, and it was entirely thanks to the amazing crew, in particular Ariel and Lolo as our guides. From transfer and the tour office to the whole day’s activities on the boat and the islands, they were incredibly welcoming, warm, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and exciting. They were organised, highly skilled, and prioritised safety without ever making the trip feel rigid. They knew exactly where to find the best marine life and shared fascinating facts about the local reefs and sea creatures

Frequently Asked Questions

Indo Compass sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover breakfast 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.
