This experience was definitely one of the highlights of my boyfriend's and my trip! After exploring our options, we found that the speedboat was the perfect way to tour Nusa Penida and Lembongan for the day. Our guides, Olog and Paco, did an amazing job ensuring the crew felt safe and had a great time.
While the tour was fantastic, we did notice a few areas for improvement. The snorkeling at each spot had a set time limit, which meant we couldn't explore as much as we had hoped, since the guides aimed to keep everyone together. Lunch was at a beautiful spot, and was buffet style- aside from the worm my boyfriend picked out from his salad the food was appetizing. Additionally, the hour-long car ride to and from Klingkling Cliff took up quite a bit of our day. We did feel a bit rushed at each snorkel spot and would have loved a bit more time to enjoy each location fully. Overall, it was a wonderful day, and we’re grateful for the memories!

The views were amazing. Our guides did a spectacular job. We unfortunately missed one of the final snorkeling spots since the traffic was so bad going up to the cliff views which wasn’t really worth it in my opinion.

Wonderful team, amazing experience
Wonderful experience with the tour. They made sure that you see the magnificent sea every inch of the path. We were 4 of us who had zero snorkelling experience and my wife do not swim as well. But the guides asked us to hold on to the tubes and pulled us to the places of interest. Extremely tiring for them to do that, but they did. Amazing Eric and team.
The only downside is their lack of communication. I had asked for a hotel pickup but they said they couldn’t arrange for one at the last moment. I understand that it was due to holidays here and lack of drivers, but saying this at the last moment put me in trouble.
But that’s just an outlier. Experience was wonderful otherwise.

The trip was filled with adventure ! Loved the final snorkeling spots great to see manta rays / turtles . The team was always looking after us . The lunch /picture spot was amazing . The two hour ride on the bumpy roads was not worth the final picture spot . If doing this trip again we would skip that part . But overall the day was well worth it . We met some really nice people as well .

Snorkelling and Luxury Combine
Travelling solo I treated myself to the luxury shared boat option and I'm very glad I did! We had a group of 11 on the beautiful Sanjaya 04. Having a photographer and underwater GoPro photos/footage included was a massive bonus (especially as a solo traveller) as it meant I could just enjoy the experience. The trip to/from Nusa Penida can be quite bumpy so I would recommend sea sickness medication as a precaution, especially if you are prone. We had three snorkelling stops before heading onto the island itself - the highlight being manta point to look for the oceanic mantas. They are HUGE and absolutely spectacular to see up close. Bear in mind that mantas are NOT found in sheltered areas so be prepared to swim in choppy water with current. The other snorkelling spots were in more sheltered areas and we were given plenty of time at each. The lunch stop on the island is buffet style and lots of time is given for photos and pool time although personally I would have been happy with a shorter stop. The drive to Kelingking Cliff is long but worth the amazing views. Once back on the boat we were served fresh fruit and there was one final drift snorkel before the prosecco was opened and we began the trip back to the mainland. Our guides Gede and Pako did a fantastic job! From being able to identify the group at the morning meeting spot, ensuring everyone saw the mantas and turtles during the snorkelling, to making sure the group was comfortable in the water. They both were very friendly and had great attitudes throughout the day. I also organised my transfer to/from Ubud through the company and found it was stress-free and convenient.

Great experience not only for the views, scuba & places they took us, but also for the company team.
They took care of everything, really well organized, punctual and reliable.

Had good times throughout the tour with Randy and the ‘Little Star’ boat crew. Saw mantas, turtles and t-Rex too! 🤩 (Kelingking cliff). I recommend you try it whenever you’re in Bali/Nusa Lembongan.
