I recently took the Nusa Penida tour with Bluuu Tours. While it was a fun day with some high-end touches, there were significant gaps between the advertised itinerary and the actual experience. The Reality Check: The itinerary seems more like a "best-case scenario" than a schedule. We were supposed to hit 4 snorkeling points, but only covered two. We only got to a third spot because we couldn't access Manta Point. Speaking of which, Manta Point feels like a marketing tactic; even on a sunny day with good wind, the Harbor Master denied us entry. You have to be incredibly lucky to actually get there. Similarly, the "Secret Spot" is just a stop near the harbor to finish the tour—nice, but not exactly a hidden gem. The Highlights: The "premium" aspects of the tour saved the day. The hoodie towels (robe towels) were a game-changer: I never realized how necessary they are for a boat tour until now. Ending the day with Prosecco was a classy touch, and having a Prosecco/GoPro photographer capturing the trip meant we could just relax. The guides were friendly, and they kept us well-hydrated with plenty of water and fresh fruit throughout the day. Final Verdict: The lunch was average at a nice location, and the land tour felt a bit rushed. Go for the friendly crew and the comfortable boat, but manage your expectations regarding the specific snorkeling spots. Key Pointers for Future Travelers Itinerary Flexibility: Do not expect to hit every point listed. The timing is tight, and stops are often cut or swapped. The Manta Ray Gamble: Be prepared for the Harbor Master to cancel the Manta Point leg even in seemingly good weather. It is not guaranteed. Standout Amenities: The robe towels and the GoPro footage are the best "value-adds" of this specific tour company. The "Secret Spot": It’s essentially a stationary boat party near the harbor to finish the Prosecco: fun, but more about the drinks than the location. Service Quality: The staff is excellent at keeping guests fed with fruit and ensuring there is plenty of water available

The best tour ever! I had so much fun! They are very professional and nice. They took the group to four different spots of snorkeling and a pleasant lunch.

Beautiful reefs with great guides
Waters off Nusa Penida were very clear with beautiful reefs and many fish. Unfortunately due to bad weather we couldn't go to Manta point but our guides Olog and Ceco took good care of us and were especially attentive to the kids and made us feel safe despite the strong currents. Would go again but only in good weather.
