Incredible experience. We went for the premium package and it was absolutely worth the little extra. Jena was a legend — great energy and even a Metallica fan. We swam with four manta rays, loads of fish and turtles. Plenty of water and fruit on board, and the boat was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The lunch destination was lovely.
A well-worth-it trip — highly recommend!

Incredible experience. From beginning to the very end. The car pick, the boat crew, and our amazing guide pak Nyoman. This experience will forever be such a special core memory.

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

Dani and crew were great and it was well worth the money to charter a boat and avoid the packed crowds. The snorkeling was excellent with healthy coral reefs and plenty of sea turtles. The snorling equipment was decent and the boat well maintained. Dani was a great guide and good about setting our expectations that we may not be able to see the manta rays due to weather conditions (we didnt't). I think the Bluuu website could emphasize this more and I would be curious how many tours do not get to see the mantas. Also, we skipped visiting the Kelingking cliff (after lunch) as we learned that the lines are very crowded and didn't want to spend any of our day in traffic or cueing with crowds. So, even without seeing the mantas or the cliff it was money well spent!

We had an amazing time chartering a boat and going snorkeling in the beautiful waters of Bali. Our guide Dani was great and he really made our experience wonderful.
I would love to come back and do the experience again!
Thank you Dani and the boat crew for an amazing time!!

We are extremely happy with our snorkeling trip to Nusa Penida from Bali. The boat was comfortable and well maintained, and it was especially nice to stay on the same boat for the entire day without any transfers. Everything was well organized from start to finish.
Our guides, K and Ceco, were very professional, knowledgeable, and took great care of us throughout the whole trip. We traveled with our children, aged 8 and 11, and safety was clearly a top priority at all times, which made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed.
An amazing day and a snorkeling tour we can highly recommend, especially for families.
