Choppy boat ride getting over to Nusa Penida from Nusa Dua, but it was an incredible all day private trip with a very knowledgeable and engaged crew. We got to swim with mantas, turtles, and even dolphins. The day would have been exciting no matter what, but it was certainly made a lot better by the crew. Shoutout to Dani, Captain Sandy, Kadek, and Indra. These guys were always on the lookout for things we should see. Highly recommend doing a private trip!

We were served by Kadek and Dena. Both of them were very professional and friendly. They ensured that the group stays together and also tirelessly found spots for us to snorkle. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves the ocean. It is beginner friendly too!

We had a fabulous day on our speedboat Sea Dragon with our guide Aldo. We were a family of 6 adults and Aldo, our Captain and crew did a great job looking after us. We did see some manta ray but this stop was very busy and Manta Point was quite choppy so some of us felt a little sea sick, Aldo had medicine to help. Our other planned stops in the morning were very choppy with strong currents so Aldo and Captain decided it was not safe to snorkel. We had a nice lunch at a Beach Club and spent about an hour relaxing there. After lunch the conditions were much improved and we did some drift snorkelling in the current over coral reefs. It was fantastic with hundreds of tropical fish and we also saw a sea turtle. It was a wonderful day and Aldo had a GoPro to take photos and videos of our adventure. Thank you Aldo and Sea Dragon!

We swam with 5 mantas, 5+ turtles, lobsters, plenty of tropical fish and coral.
Staff were friendly and funny. They took us to some beautiful locations, informed us of some cultural history and also ensured we all had a great time in a safe environment
All round amazing experience and will definitely be doing again.

Such an amazing day out! After a couple of failed attempts (over the years) I finally swam with Manta’s and it didn’t disappoint! The crew were brilliant and accommodating to everyone’s needs.
The day was full of snorkelling with Manta’s, turtles, coral reefs and an abundance of fish .. and was perfect. Super organised and professional.
Highly recommend!

The guides and drivers were nice and knowledgeable. We got to see manta rays but it was so crowded that you were constantly bumping into other people in the water and that kicked up a lot of sand so the view wasn't as clear. Cristal bay was surprisingly nice with lots of tropical fish and coral. The last two spots are connected (you swim from one point to another) and I was sad to see bleaching of the coral. Still a lot of fish though and we did see some sea turtles.
Lunch was at a restaurant that had gates of heaven and an infinity pool for nice photo ops which made up for the mediocre food.
The land tour was really just driving up a mountain to see the T-Rex viewpoint which was pretty and picturesque.
It's not for the faint of heart. The boat itself is so small that it doesn't even have a single table and if you're not 6ft, your legs will dangle the entire time you're sitting on one of the 2 high benches on the side. It was so turbulent and rocky that even I, who love being in and on water, was afraid I was going to get seasick for the first time ever. If I had known about the boat ride itself, I probably wouldn't have booked this excursion and tried to find a bigger boat.

Incredible Experience with Ringgo & Paco - Saw 3 Manta Rays!
I recently did the full day tour to Nusa Penida and it was absolutely incredible! Ringgo and Paco were amazing guides who made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped on board. The highlight of the trip was the Manta ray dive, we saw three manta rays which was beyond anything I could have hoped for! It was great getting to explore the smaller islands of Bali that are typically harder to access. The boat itself was very nice and exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable excursion in Bali, I can’t recommend this trip enough! It was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

A beautiful day out on the water. The boat was spacious and comfortable with everything you need . Nyoman was an excellent guide . He showed us excellent spots to snorkel and safety was number 1.
