During our recent stay in Bali we decided to book a private boat trip and land tour at Nusa Penida with Day Trip Bali and it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip 🙌
We were picked up by our dedicated driver and taken to the offices in Sanur where we were greeted by our host for the day and had a coffee and you could buy pastries. We were then given a run down of the plans for our day and had the opportunity to ask Q’s and then we took a short walk to the marina where the boat was docked.
The boat was a smallish speedboat but was perfect size for our family of 7 and we had 3 crew on the boat including the captain and our host. The boat had a good amount of seats and cover to shelter from the splashing water and sun.
The boat ride out to Nusa Penida was very bumpy, although we get pre-warned of this and understand we’re crossing open ocean, so no surprises! We were offered fruit, water and sea sickness tablets, but luckily everyone was fine.
Once you see Nusa Penida from the water, the scenery is amazing, with dramatic cliffs and beautiful coves and arches/caves. We arrived at Manta Point and were given all of the snorkeling equipment and offered life jackets - definitely take one if you’re not a confident swimmer as the swell is strong and the boat does leave the location where you’re snorkeling for 15-20mins so can be a long time to tread water and be in the swell.
We were lucky enough to see a few mantas and as soon as we did, we knew the money and bumpy boat ride was worth it!
Once we jumped back aboard the boat, we went to the local marina and docked and then headed to a restaurant on the cliff with an infinity pool, temple and fantastic views of the ocean and mainland Bali, including Mt Agung.
We then embarked on our land tour to Kelingkling cliff - the road trip is bumpy as lots of pot holes and narrow, windy roads so maybe take a travel sickness tablet if this affects you. The trip takes about 45mins but once you get there, it’s a short walk to the cliff and the views are definitely worth it - note, it’s a very busy spot so expect to wait your turn to get to the fence to look out and get photos.
Finally, we jumped back on the boat to undertake some drift snorkelling, which was great as not much swell and we were able to snorkel more easily and saw plenty of tropical fish and turtles.
We arrived back at the dock in Sanur in the early evening and were driven back to our villa.
Special mention to our host Dena and Jones’s so friendly, so attentive and helpful and made our day even more special - legend!

We had a wonderful time with Gio and Putu!
The journey there was quite choppy and we did get a bit seasick but the team took really good care of us. The snorkelling was amazing in a nice variety of places, with loads of fish and a few turtles! The lunch spot was beautiful. This was a well organised trip and we've come away with lots of great photos with the help of Gio and Putu, thank you!

GIO AND PACO made this trip nothing short of amazing! My group and I truly had the best experience we could’ve had within the time we spent with these guys. Their hospitality, and all around skill at being the tour leaders were top notch. Would recommend these guys over and over again! Thank you GIO and PACO🙏🏾

Nice trip, snorkeling in four places with great scenery, and the photo service is really awesome . The afternoon trip is a bit simple and boring, just drove to two places and took some photos there, if some introductions are included in the future that would be nice

This experience, if it wasn't for the weather, everything would have been better, and the itinerary as well as the guide were very reliable.The tour guide Nemo and Tim explained to us from the beginning about today's schedule and also had free hot coffee while not on the boat waiting.When going out to sea, because of the rain on that day and the waves are especially big, they all take care of everyone's safety.Another great thing is.The restaurant at noon has an infinity pool, and the scenery is especially good.When snorkeling, the guides actively take photos for everyone.Reverse as I will go to Bali again, I will choose to come again!

The tour was absolutely amazing and truly the highlight of my trip to Bali! Jena’s and Kudil’s kindness and hospitality made the entire day perfect. I definitely recommend this experience to everyone who is planning a trip to Bali soon.
My fav moments of this trip? Lunch with incredible views, snorkel with manta rays and turtles and spotting some dolphins 😍
Also, they take incredible pictures under water!
