We left the meeting point at 8 am and reached back to Sanur around 5 pm. The yacht we were on was pretty and it felt exclusive. Our guides were Ketut & Putu. They took good care of us and made the entire day enjoyable. At Kelingking beach, Putu even climbed a tree to help us take photos. I went on 31 May 2024, the weather wasn't the best I guess cos the waves and currents were quite strong. But it still felt safe with our guides & the boat crew.
In terms of the programme, we did 2 snorkelling spots before lunch. We were lucky cos we saw the manta rays at the first spot but by the second one, the currents were too strong. It felt like we were being pulled left & right. So they decided to do the land tour after the second spot.
We had lunch first and the restaurant called Amarta Penida was so pretty! Then we visited the Kelingking beach before going back to the boat. A thing to note though, the drive on Nusa Penida was very bumpy.
Roads are small so the drive was a bit slow. But overall, it's a great tour! Just note that you won't really be spending time on Nusa Penida island.
After the land tour, they brought us to one more snorkelling spot. We were hoping to see the sea turtles but luck was not on our side this time. Regardless, the tour was great! Would recommend! :)

Tim and Rinngo were great guides! They were welcoming, helpful, and professional.
The sea was rough when we left Bali and they were ready with water, towels, and nausea medicine.
We made two snorkeling stops before lunch. Lunch was on a cliff overlooking the sea and islands. After lunch we made my favorite and final snorkeling stop, where we saw multiple turtles and allowed the current to bring us along the route, back to the boat.
Within a few hours, the team had already sent us photos of our excursion. I’m amazed at how they recognized 13 strangers at multiple stops and corralled us among dozens of tour groups.
I highly recommend this tour, Tim, Rinngo, and crew!

We loved the snorkelling and time on the boat. It was great seeing the Manta Rays and fish. Mickey and Morgan were excellent hosts. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Big day of snorkelling and fun was had. The tour is worth doing and we were very lucky to have great conditions and saw lots of turtles, mantas, reef and fish. Our guides led by Nyoman were great and cared for the group and our experience.

Had a great day on this trip. Our guides Ajung (AJ) and Cece were fantastic. AJ had a great sense of humour and kept us entertained over the course of the day.
It is a reasonably long boat transfer to Nusa Penida from Sanur - if you suffer from sea sickness, make sure you have some preventative tablets or if you get severe sea sickness, maybe reconsider doing this tour. We were okay but saw a child not have a great time, and the conditions were relatively mild.
We visited some beautiful snorkelling spots and also got to see the Manta Rays.
A note on the Manta Ray snorkel. Beware - the Manta Ray visit is hectic, there are literally a 100 or more other people in the water at Manta point snorkelling (+ more scuba diving underneath you) and I would recommend having some confidence in the water (although life jackets are supplied to those who want them). I think some regulation should be put in place for the Manta Rays - in contrast to Australia where for instance the whale shark swims are heavily regulated, I do worry that in Bali it can't be sustainable or healthy for them after seeing the lack of regulation.
The rest of the tour was great, awesome snorkelling spots with great variety of coral reef, anemones and sea life. The lunch spot has some great views and the guides take great photos (thanks again!).
Overall would recommend but effort needs to be made to protect the Manta Rays.

Had some amazing tour guides - Derrick and Vicky, great vibes and very meticulous throughout the tour. Some great snorkelling spots - saw Manta Rays, turtles and heaps of fish + some lovely corals. Seeing Kelingking beach was amazing aswell - great view. Quite a lot of tourists both at Manta Point and Kelingking beach but everything else wasn’t as busy.

Fantastic Island-Hopping Adventure with Aldo & Ketut!
Exploring the islands around Bali and discovering the underwater treasures of the Indian Ocean was an incredible experience. Aldo and Ketut are exceptional guides and entertainers who go above and beyond to ensure your safety, especially during water activities. Thank you, Aldo and Ketut, for taking such great care of us throughout the trip. Go “Lady Manta” (our boat)!
The snorkeling spots were excellent, and we were thrilled to see mantas and turtles. However, be prepared for crowded conditions, particularly at the manta spot.
Lunch was served at a beautiful restaurant and club perched on a cliff. The food was satisfactory, with western options like pasta bolognese and fried chicken. While the restaurant offers other food and drink choices, they come at an additional cost. The surrounding area is gorgeous, featuring a traditional Balinese door perfect for Instagrammable photos, an infinity swimming pool, and stunning views. One downside was the number of stray dogs trying to get food from guests.
The inland tour felt a bit short, as it mainly involved navigating the island’s narrow, winding roads to visit the stunning Kelingking Beach cliff. This location is a major tourist attraction, which unfortunately means dealing with the negative aspects of tourism, such as shops, noise, and litter. Please be a responsible tourist and help preserve the natural beauty.
Overall, it was a fantastic day. We departed at 9 AM and returned to Sanur at 6 PM. We snorkeled twice, enjoyed lunch, visited the cliff, snorkeled again, and then headed back home. Highly recommended!

We opted for the private boat tour. Mantas were amazing… good fish life good with colourful fish and turtles and the additional two stops.
We have not received a link for photos despite 4 attempts to contact which is really disappointing as we’re so looking forward to them. If the tour operator sees this review please we would love to have pictures as promised.
