It was a great experience, beautiful scenery at broken beach and the little finger, as well as the underwater scenes of the coral reefs and shoals of fish, truly beautiful. Nemo and his friend were very friendly guides and made us feel very welcome. There were a couple of issues with the trip however. The organisation was off, and from the get go if me and my partner weren't paying attention to the tour guide we would have got left behind. Also, for the first snorkeling spot (manta bay), there was no instruction on how to put on the equipment or use it which lead to me having quite a bad first experience snorkeling. The rest of the group were clearly experienced snorkellers so if you're a beginner, you'll probably want to wear a life jacket at the first spot and probably the 3rd spot, also make sure to ask how to use the snorkel if you aren't sure. Thankfully, I was able to give the other spots a go and it went really well, but it did feel like a sink or swim mentality. As for the other elements of the trip, expect a lot of travel by car between scenic hotpots and bring your own water as we ran out part way round. Overall it was a good trip and I would recommend it.

We were escorted by Ajju and O’Neil and the rest of the crew on their boat called Big Little Star. They were all very helpful and friendly. The only reason why I gave a 4 star is that the snorkeling felt a bit rushed as they were trying to cover a lot in a short span of time. I felt the price is a bit high for what they provided as compared to the other snorkeling trips done by us in other countries like Thailand. Also the fact that they didn’t provide complimentary pick up in this price. Their driver also kept us waiting as he was late for 45 minutes and charged more than what we would have had to pay if we would have booked a taxi ourselves.

Was very fun , tour guide Gee and Timpleng were amazing , very friendly and helpful.
If i would change something would be less driving in the island and spend more time at the lunch spot as its so beautiful and didnt have much time to enjoy it. But overall was fun

Started with a rough and choppy waves and current by ocean but thanks to Nyoman and Ringgo for an amazing tour guide. Always looking out for our safety. Very knowledgeable duos. Thanks everyone who made it safe and possible for the experience! Kudos ✌️

The tour guide Gio & Timpleng were super nice. They helped us and with bigger current they watched the whole group! Big 5 stars for these guys! One downside, which is why it’s not 5 stars and that is the boat. Well maintained, but sometimes a very strong gasoline smell. In combination with big waves (wether depending) is not good if you are sea sick. All together a nice 4 star rating and I would definitely book again!

Communication and reminders were timely. Very organised and prompt in their reply. Nemo and Ryan provided clear instructions before heading out to the sea and what’s coming up next. They went extra mile in taking great pictures for me and my child. Sea was choppy so we missed swimming with the manta.

The team was so great and very accommodating! They could not have been better in leading us through the activities.
Tips: the boat ride can be pretty rough and the smell of gasoline is very strong. If you get motion sickness; you may be better off taking a fast boat.
Snorkeling in Manta Bay can be disorienting as many people are all chasing the same animal to see and you may get tossed around quite a bit. The tour guides really want to help you see a manta as much as possible and will take video and go pro pictures even if you miss it.
The land tour in the afternoon can get extremely hot; be careful and drink lots of water.
Lunch is a fantastic buffet!
We only snorkeled in 2 locations
The team was able to take our large luggage’s on the boat and help us get a taxi to accommodations in Nusa Penida.

Our family of five (including 2 teenagers and a 11-year old) had a fun experience on our tour to Nusa Penida with Olog as our guide. It was unfortunate that the boat we were on experienced a glitch with the motor casing "exploding" about 20 minutes into the ride. This required us to turn back while waiting for another boat to get us. The team executed a mid-channel boat transfer, and we sped off in our larger faster boat to Nusa Penida. Olog was nice throughout - giving out motion sickness pills while we were waiting for the other boat, and checking on us occasionally. At the snorkel spots, he took many nice Go-Pro videos of our family, and also offered to accompany my youngest to snorkel. Because of the boat glitch, we were only able to see Kelingking Beach instead of the 3+ spots on the island, as the group voted to go back Snorkelling instead. The guides brought us to few a nice spots including one off Nusa Lembongan. All in, we had a memorable day.
