We booked the Nusa Penida & snorkling day tour and we're so happy we did.
Our hosts - Gio & Tim - could not have taken better care of us. Gio (think of a Balinese - actually Flores - version of Valentino Rossi with his speech and manerisms) is a born entertainer and hilarious. He (and Tim) were incredibly informative and helpful - explaining each stop on the tour and what to expect.
The day started at the beautiful Sea Grass restaurant in Sanur (great breakfast, superb coffee!) before we (approx 13 + crew/guides) headed out to our fast boat for the 45 minute trip to Penida.
Two stops for snorkling before heading onto to dry land for an island tour - navigating the 'challenging' local roads. Lunch was at a cliff top restaurant overlooking the sea and surrounds. The restaurant decor was Cabos-like and the view was like Santorini - just spectacular.
Post-lunch and on to some truly breathtaking scenery showcasing the very best of this picture-perfect island paradise.
We managed to get in two more snorkling slots with Gio doing his best turtle-whispering to have multiple sightings on both these dives. Wow!
The boat trip back to Sanur was full of VERY happy guests who had just had a truly magic day in every sense.
With so many operators offering some version of this type of trip to Nusa Penida, save yourself the hassle. These guys are the best hosts, with the best boats and with Gio on board, it was as fun as it was amazing.
Great day, great value - quite simply unmissable! (TA)

The speed boat we ride is the fastest model and really saved us tremendous time for snorkeling 4 spots in one day. We did only three spots because my group spent 4 and half hour in land tour which is also wonderfully getting know more about local villages Nusa Penida. The coach, guide, boar crew and equipments worth the money. We get what we pay for. Been a perfect day trip. The restaurant we stayed for lunch is better that many in downtown Sanur. The scenic surroundings is impeccable. (TA)

Gio and Tim were the guys that made our tour a truely great experience. Even as a novice swimmer I felt very safe with Gio's guidance, patience and friendliness. Both created a great ambiance, were funny, kind and laidback. Would definitely recommend this tour. We saw amazing turtles and received great support on photos and videos made by Gio. (TA)

Nemo and Ceco really were amazing in finding the manta rays (off season!) and driving us to the different locations.
They are very kind and you can have a good laugh with them!
I was a bit scared of the currents and waves before going, but they really were professional and explained us everything we need to know to have a safe trip. I felt very at ease!

We were a bit hesitant with our 7 year old at first, but then we went ahead and took a chance and got the best experience ever. Guide Aldo and Olog were amazing and they took care of us in every possible manner and also took some amazing pictures.
Highly recommended tour for anyone trying to do some water adventure on their Bali trip (TA)
