All up it’s pretty decent, not quite the same as what the itinerary says on trip advisor (a couple snorkel stops listed we didn’t end up going to) but the drivers, snorkel guides (Ringo and Aden) and crew were all lovely and helpful and made for an easy trip, one person in our group was struggling as they were a first timer at snorkelling and the guides stepped in to help pretty quickly and efficiently. Snorkel gear was really high quality (they’d clearly already defogged the glasses too as they worked a treat) and the flippers were pretty comfortable for a one size fits all. Communication was great as everything is done through whatsapp as well as receiving a link to the photos taken by the snorkel guide all easily accessible and uploaded within the day. Just make sure you’ve got your wits about you at the very crowded snorkelling spots (manta bay) as with any tourist attraction there’s always going to be a few tourists with zero spacial awareness or care for what they’re doing.

Nusa Penida manta and land trip
Saw mantas with 100’s of others. The oven was crowded! Turtles too. I’d miss off the land tour though. Too much time in cars in Indonesia. Guides were ok. Boat was smelly.

Great family day out with Ketut and Vincent as guides (with one suggestion for next time..)
Ketut and Vincent were great guides for our private snorkelling day trip. Super knowledgeable about the island and snorkelling, and shared some great GoPro footage.
We saw mantas and turtles snorkelling and had a lovely lunch at a beautiful spot a short drive from the harbour. The longer drive (45 mins each way) to a beauty spot for photos felt a bit of a waste of time. Tourism is alive and well on the island so it was a steady line of slow moving traffic in and out… but like the Bali mainland!
Rated 4 not 5 stars as it’s a reminder that these experiences are weather dependent. We got a bit unlucky with how choppy the water was in the morning which meant less snorkelling. Should have dropped the drive to the beauty spot and done more in the water but hindsight is always 20:20.
Still wonderful day though. Lots of memories.
Thank you Ketut and Vincent!

Overall I liked out trip on Sea Dragon boat. Our guide Jena and the team were amazing and made sure everyone feels great. :)
Boat ride was good for me, though I think some people might feel sick because of the waves (then you can ask Jena for a pill). There were towles and snorkeling gear on the boat plus guys brought fruits as snacks and plenty of water.
Main purpose of the trip for me was to snorkel, and that we mamaged, and I am happey. :) We spotted a gorgeous manta ray on the cleaning station, lots of fish, nice corals and turtles (last snorkeling spot is simply the best, you just relax, submit yourself to the flow and watch).
Jena helped a lot to spot sea creatures, and it’s real nice that guys make pictures during the trip.
The reason I am giving 4 out 5:
- Part of the trip itinerary is a ride to Kelingking cliff. In my opinion, given the state of the roads on Nusa Penida island, it’s not worth it. You drive 45 min there and 45 min back on a very narrow and extremely bumpy road to take an instagram picture on the cliff full of tourists. :) So if I am to come there again, I’d prefer to opt out from the cliff, spend more time ar the beach bar and meet the group at the boat when they are back from this ride.
- We ordered drop off and pick up from the tour. Our driver picked us up from Uluwatu at 06:30, and we arrived at the Sanur around 07:20. Only to wait there for 40 minutes till it’s 08 am, and the trip is started. I don’t get why we needed to start that ealry. Traffic was already quite heavy. I’m mourning those precious additional 30-40 minutes of sleep I could’ve get.
- You are taken to and from the main boat by a smaller boat. When we returned, we waited for 20 minutes for it to come and get us. I am sure it could’ve been organized better so we needn’t wait.
P.S. Be ready to find yourself surrounded by tons of boats and people on the manta ray spot. It’s definitely not pleasent but it is what it is when something is very popular.
P.S.2. I went on a trip being 7 months pregnant. All went smoooth. So if you are pregnant and contemplating — don’t. If you feel good, and you are in a good shape, then in my opinion it’s safe to go. Just don’t dive. And bring your own mask with you (I bought a full face mask frim Decathlon, worked amazing for me!). Also you can take a pool noodle with you, that way you will spend almost 0 energy while snorkeling :)

Good experience to catch manta rays and turtles.
Good tour, Gio did an excellent job of trying to find the best spots and keeping me in line for viewing of manta rays and other wildlife. Overall waters are choppy, but Gio and team know well how to manage it. Very crowded, but customizable.

Wish I didn't get seasick because of how cool it looked!
What to say about this trip.. it looked absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I got so very sea sick that I wasn't able to do most of the stops 😭 which was so unfortunate because the stop at the manta's and the stop with turtles were epic! I wish I would have been able to do everything.
(Keep in mind that a refund is not possible 😕)
I do have to give a big shoutout to our guide Jena and the rest of the team for their patience and help. They know what they are doing and can bring you to the very best spots to snorkle and spot the coolest fish!
Also a shoutout to my lovely boyfriend for booking this and even asking them to make a crown of flowers for my birthday ❤️ (Again, this team was awesome!!)
If you do not get sea sick and love to see the under waterworld in a luxurious way book away!

Beautiful island, very tropical and lush, so many different kinds of fish and coral which was really amazing. Tour guides Nyoman and Putu were very helpful and safe but most importantly funny and a joy to be around
