I have never snorkelled before and not the biggest fan of the sea but this trip has so far been the highlight of our vacation!
The fact our transfers for the trip were organised for us made things soooo much easier!
We met the guides at the meeting point and all of them were smiley and joking but reassuring in equal measure; answering questions and offering seasickness tablets (free of charge) to wary guests.
The weather has been cloudy, rainy and windy for the last 10 days and the weather was just good enough got do the trip safely. Saying that the first area we went to was a bit to waver for my liking but I just stuck to the floating rings to keep me confident. The three other spots after that were extraordinary. We saw fish of all shapes and sizes feeding them bananas and just floating on the water seeing the corals were incredible, it’s important to say we didn’t see any manta rays but the guides can’t control nature and it didn’t spoil the trip at all for me because everything we did see was incredible. The snorkels and flippers made staying afloat and swimming so much easier and made me confident to explore as much as I could, I even dived down to get a closer look.
The lunch on Nusa Penida was amazing and the temple gates they have overlooking the bay was as beautiful as one of the major tourist attractions in Bali without the insane crowds desperate for an Instagram pic.
The trip all in all was something I will remember for a very long time. We Sam coral, fish, starfish and even turtles one of which was huge!
We also didn’t expect that our guides would be filming and taking politics of us underwater for us to keep at no extra charge which were sent to us barely 3 hours after the end of the tour!
Finally and most importantly our guides Nyoman & Morgan. What great guys!
Morgan was super chilled, very funny and you can tell he loves his job and meeting people, he gave me so much confidence to explore and was an all round brilliant person to have guiding you through the waters. He was blowing perfect underwater circle bubbles which made for amazing underwater photos.
Nyoman is excellent as a guide and outlined the rules and points of the day clearly and concisely. He made sure we were all included and looked after throughout the day, full of local knowledge both on land and sea and was full of smiles from start to end whenever he interacted with us. I also want to thank him for taking time to support my wife who was feeling sea sick who eventually regained her strength after taking his great advice.
Morgan & Nyoman made our day even greater and the two other members of the team all provided us with a great day.
Advice:
bring a change of clothes for the land.
bring sun cream (the sea will dry your skin out and make you burn).
take the sea sickness tablet before you get on the boat.
If you’re thinking of wearing a life jacket, just wear one (no shame in safety).
Do not go expecting to see manta rays, I know it’s advertised as a manta tour and the places you go are where the mantas live but the guides can’t control nature and it’s not there fault if you don’t see them.
5 stars!!!!!!!
THANK YOU to Morgan and Nyoman for an unforgettable experience! Hugely recommended!

Amazing memorable day with our guide Gee. Such a stunning location and experience ! Everything was well and professional organised, including pick up and drop service, the whole day snorkelling and tour was amazing for us despite the rough sea that day.

We got this trip as a gift for our wedding and think it was the best gift of all. The day was so incredibly beautiful! Danny and Gee were always on hand and super fun. I struggled a bit with the waves and my air at first, but Danny was right there and helped me. The land tour was amazing too. We wouldn't have seen all the places if we hadn't done the tour. The food that was included was also very tasty. We saw manta rays right at the first snorkeling spot and so many different fish. I felt in good hands and totally safe at all times.

Not going to Nusa Penida is like seeing only half of Bali. There are many snorkeling places in the world, but this place is special. Diving in high waves and deep seas feels the power of nature. Another place flows with the flow of water and greets friends in the sea. The track and field tour is amazing The appearance of a very special geologically island leaves a lot of pictures. In particular, nyoman & ringo, who are very familiar with the island, lead us regardless of water or land. There's no wasted time on a private tour Travelers should choose this place. Enjoy Bali everyone :)

End of June 2023, my family and I hired a boat with our host Jena and the crew. Wonderful day out highly recommend doing it for any family, our daughter has a special needs and everyone was all so helpful and patient with her. Than our son didn’t want to leave the water so Jena took extra time out to supervise and even dive down to get a blue star fish for my son to hold a very memorable and outstanding moment for the holiday. Also a great way to save the memories with all the pictures sent to us from the GoPro camera Jena brought along. Five Stars from us. Thanks for a great day on the water and snorkelling.

We had a private snorkelling experience with Nemo and his crew. They were all absolutely fantastic. The water was too choppy for manta rays but the crew were amazing in moving us on and finding us somewhere else to snorkel. We saw 15+ turtles, eagle rays and even a dolphin. Nemo was an absolute standout from editing our pictures he took, the amazing go pro video he sent us and being an absolute delight to be around. Big thanks to Nemo for making the day so special

We booked an all day snorkelling trip which involved stopping at different spots to snorkel and then headed to land where we had lunch. We then headed to kelingking cliff for some sight seeing and then back to the boat for our last snorkel. Nemo and his team were amazing. We had such a wonderful time. They were very accommodating to our poor friend who got sea sick. We saw so many beautiful fish, turtles and an eagle stingray. Nemo took amazing photos of our whole experience. We had so much fun and a lot of laughs. Thanks again Nemo and his crew for making our experience an incredible one.
