Best day in Bali - a must do if you are visiting!
We booked the premium private snorkeling tour for our party of 8. Good communication from the booking team and Tim, our guide, messaged the night before to make sure we were ready. The boat was spacious, felt newish and well-maintained (especially compared to other boats we saw at the snorkeling sites). Lots of shaded space in the main deck area and a really cool shaded area on the upper deck (max 4 people can sit up there). Our guide and staff were Tim, Paco and Adi. They were fantastic! Always checking to make sure we had a full drink in hand and safely watching us while in the water and out. They had a camera and a GoPro so we got great footage of us on the boat and while snorkeling. Links to all the photos and videos arrived the next day as promised.
Speaking of snorkeling, we saw more things than I’ve ever seen before and we’ve snorkeled all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and French Polynesia. We saw sea turtles, dolphins and manta rays all up close with great GoPro footage of us swimming next to them! They gave us bits of banana to feed the fish which I had not done before as well. Tim and Paco were engaged while in the water pointing out all the things for us to see.
The lunch spot was great with a fantastic view. There is a pool there if you want to swim while taking in the great view so bring your towel from the boat. The only thing we would change is given it was a private tour would have been the flexibility or option to skip the land tour portion which included a 45 min drive (very slow, bumpy and scary not a full two-lane road) each way to a great lookout spot but not much else to see. Would have preferred that extra time on the boat because we were having such a great time!
In summary, had an amazing time and would do this tour again! Highly recommend asking for Tim, Paco and Adi!
Oh failed to mention, they were LGBT friendly….

Great experience with wonderful Toyi and Micky
Overall arrangement was smooth and pleasant. Was very luck to have seen not only 1, but 8 giant oceanic manta rays. Instructor Micky was bubbly and caring - love the fact that he gave us seasick pills to ease things out. Thanking Toyi as well for being responsive towards our inquiries. It was a happy day to conclude a birthday celebration trip!

Great day on the reef! Morgan and Nemo were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. We saw coral, turtles and manta. Highly recommend.

Best day trip to nusa penida with Budi!
We had the most incredible experience yesterday doing the private boat day trip to nusa penida with BUDI! Everything about this day exceeded our expectations. Budi was excellent in tailoring our experience to our preferences and made things very smooth. He took pictures of us everywhere we looked, and showed us parts of the island that were off the beaten path. We loved Budi and love day trip Bali for making our trip so special.

wonderful and memorable experience, highly recommmend!
this tour was perfect from start to finish, i have absolutely zero critique or complaints! the staff thought of everything - they were communicative about each portion of the trip (e.g. travel time, activities, etc.), provided all scuba gear and were extremely helpful even in the water. there were some first-time swimmers in my group and derrick and budi did an amazing job guiding them and ensuring that they were safe but still had a great time! in addition to the buffet lunch, there was also fresh fruit and drinks provided on the boat. the snorkel spots were top notch with clear water and we got to see so many cool creatures, including sea turtles and manta rays! derrick and budi were also great at taking photos and videos both on land and in the water, did not expect the images to be of such high quality! super glad i came on this tour and am really grateful to the team for being so well organized and friendly! definitely do this when you're in bali.

I had an amazing time. Nyoman and K were great hosts and took care of us really well. The snorkelling spots were beautiful and the water was crystal clear.
I would definitely recommend!
