Full description

This is a 8-hour experience in Nusa Penida. 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.

Nusa Lembongan is the small island between Bali and Nusa Penida, half an hour from Sanur by fast boat, with a slower pace than either. Days here usually take in Devil's Tear, where swell explodes through a rock shelf on the south-west coast, the mangrove channels on the north-east side by small boat, and the Yellow Bridge to Nusa Ceningan and its Blue Lagoon. Snorkelling is off the north coast and at the Mangrove Point drift, and mantas are reached by a further boat ride to Penida. The seaweed farming that once covered the shallows has mostly gone, but you can still see the frames at low tide.

The price covers Air-conditioned vehicle hotel transfer, Return transfers to Lembongan Bay, Morning/afternoon tea & coffee, International buffet lunch and Lembongan Village excursion. It does not cover Soft Drinks/Alcohol, Aquanaut underwater helmet walk, Scuba diving and 1/2 dives, 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. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Bali Hai Cruises before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

  • Air-conditioned vehicle hotel transfer
  • Return transfers to Lembongan Bay
  • Morning/afternoon tea & coffee, and snacks
  • International buffet lunch
  • Lembongan Village excursion
  • Unlimited Banana Boat rides from 11 AM to 2 PM
  • Snorkeling equipment and instruction
  • Full use of the pontoon facilities including 35-meter water slide and underwater viewing chamber

All in all a great day, thunder Storm in the afternoon gave my family a scare but cleared up just in time for departure. Boat was a sail boat rather than the big Boat as only small group booked. Food, staff, facilities,, scuba diving, snorkeling, banana tube rides, water slide and more were fantastic. Memories forever!!

Overall it was a good day, I was a little hesitant at first, but with the transportation and the full access to the beach club and lunch, the money is worth it. I paid extra to do the diving experience but it was worth every dime!

Lovely day. Very well organised. Would highly recommend. Would be nice to have seen more of the island and spend time in the beach as the activities were more suited to younger children.

This Company puts on a very nice tour. The boat is beautiful. The coffee tea & danishes in the morning on nice plates. The Staff was very Friendly. A great band played. The day of activities was action packed at your own pace or you could just relax. The lunch buffet was excellent. It was a wonderful experience. They do an amazing job! Highly Recommend

Absolutely wonderful experience! The pontoon is great fun and the cruise to it and back were great especially with the live music. The lunch was okay, but the best part was scuba diving!!!

Overall the day trip it was good. The activities on the pontoon was good! Especially the submarine view and the scuba diving (extra cost). The launch was tasty. You are staying about 5hours but is enough to do a lot. The only problem that we had it was the ship. Very much of shaking! we got a pill. before we start, otherwise we will had problem.The open sea its too wavy.

The pontoon and cruise are well maintained. This place has a lot of corals and fishes. Loved the scuba diving. Kid loved snorkeling for the first time. Wife loved the sun loungers. The pontoon keeps you busy through out. Had ordered vegetarian for wifey. According to her it was the best Indian food she had in Bali! The washrooms in the cruise were clean. Be prepared for the motion sickness, otherwise it's an excellent experience, especially the scuba diving

Absolutely loved it. The yacht was awesome and so was the pontoon. We snorkelled in blue coral waters, saw many colourful fishes and did multiple banana boat. The water slide is thrilling but a must do. The food was amazing and the staff was so courteous and helpful!

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 soft drinks/alcohol (available to purchase), aquanaut underwater helmet walk (optional add-on), scuba diving (optional add-on) and 1/2 dives (optional add-on for certified divers). 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.
