Had an amazing day yesterday, I was worried on going on this boat tour but it was the best part of our trip. The staff were great and always made sure we were having fun, Derrick was the best snorkel guide teaching us how to dive deeper.

We had a great day with Dani, and we enjoyed our snorkel. We saw a lot of fish and some turtles, but unfortunately no rays.
The water was pretty rough, and it sounds like that’s normal, so those who get seasick might not enjoy this. The morning is pretty rocky, and about half of our boat threw up in the water. In the afternoon, everyone felt much better.
I luckily felt good most of the tour so was able to participate in all snorkeling spots. But a lot of people felt sick after the first spot, so only a few of us jumped in for the second (which was a much calmer area). Dani was nice to offer an early lunch so that people could relax.
The snorkeling sports in the morning were crowded as everyone is on the same schedule. It can be hard to swim as there are people everywhere. In the afternoon, people are more spaced out, so it’s much better.
Overall, the tour was a good way to snorkel around Nusa Penida (the land part was skippable imo as it was just a quick viewpoint). But be prepared to feel sick in the morning and deal with some crowds.
Dani and our other guide were great - knowledgeable, helpful, and caring.

Had an amazing time with Pako, Tim and the team! The day excursion was long but super fulfilling and worthwhile. It was truly some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever done with clear waters; we saw tons of fish, vibrant coral, and even sea turtles and manta rays! The drive up the island was also super cool and different. FYI: this trip probably isn’t for those prone to seasickness and weak swimmers. The waters were very choppy and the ride to and from the island was super rough, though the team did a good job to make everyone comfortable.

This was my first time snorkeling and I had wonderful experience. Our guide Dani and Katut and other krews were caring and supportive. We had visited four spots. I only disliked the first one because it was a bit wavy and was so so much crowded. It was the manta ray spot but we missed it. But it’s the nature, whom can I blame?
I have nothing to add about the team except about there warmth and care, but have few things to add about the tour in general for the benefit of following guests.
1. Spots are crowded: but I think there can be no improvement about it. Manta rays must be appearing only at certain points and neither can you have multiple Nusa Pedina. Just except what you’re doing.
2. Learn basics about snorkeling: reading something on the internet was enough. This is a group tour so even the most caring krew can’t be your private mentor.
There was an annoying group in our team who were always about to be late and, occupy the boat’s top seat during the whole tour. Yes they were just annoying nothing serious. But I felt like guide’s proper intervention on order maintanence could improve team’s overall experience. It doesn’t work well when whole assessment is done by sole criteria; which is number of “excellent” customer reviews.
And just one more thought. I think land tour can be replace to more relaxing ones: like massage or kayaking, paddle boarding… etc.

We were the only family onboard but the whole team were very friendly and considerate. The swell was a bit surgey so the team gave us the option to stay on the island a little bit longer which I think everyone was greatful for. We were pleasantly surprised by the fish and all the colours. Lunch with a view was a nice way to break up the day, along with a trip to the cliffs. The highlight had to be the manta rays though, so close and we spent a good 30min watching them below us. The relaxing finish with the drift snorkel followed by champagne was a nice way to conclude the great day. If you are thinking of booking this full day trip do it.

Great day of snorkeling with a friendly crew! Stunning clear waters, vibrant marine life, and a relaxing boat ride. Thanks a lot to our guide Unyil and Made Ana
