A Bali Snorkeling Adventure: Effortless Magic & Genuine Hospitality
Absolutely loved our Bali snorkeling tour—this was one of those rare travel experiences that manages to strike that perfect balance between adventure and feeling totally taken care of.
From the start, everything was super smooth. I booked through Klook (but the tour's available on all popular platforms), and a day before, our driver messaged to confirm pick-up from our hotel in Nusa Dua. My wife and I set out early at around 7am, reached the port in about half an hour, and instantly felt the holiday vibe kick in.
At the port, Mickey and Nyoman—our hosts for the day—greeted us warmly and patiently walked us through the basic formalities. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. We grabbed a quick breakfast from the snacks provided, then hopped onto the speedboat with eleven other guests. The boat was impressively clean and comfortable, setting a great tone for the journey ahead.
My wife was a bit apprehensive since it was her first time snorkeling, but Nyoman and Mickey were absolute stars. They brought out a floating tube for her and, with endless patience, guided her around the water until she found her confidence. Seeing her face light up as she floated over the reef—soaking in the clear tropical water—was honestly the highlight of my day.
We snorkeled at four different spots; for me, the second and third sites completely stole the show. Strong currents made it feel effortless: you’d jump in at one end and just drift along, while the boat waited for you on the other side. All the while, you’re surrounded by vibrant marine life—brightly colored fish, big turtles gliding past, and at the final spot, a couple of majestic manta rays. It was breathtaking and so peaceful, and whenever your attention drifted from the underwater world, the crew was right there, handing out GoPros and snapping candid photos—later shared via WhatsApp so you get to relive the adventure.
After our third snorkeling session, we took a break for lunch and a short land tour. Klingking Beach was the main attraction—only a view from the top, but honestly, the dramatic cliffs and sweeping vistas are more than enough. The crew was on hand with their camera skills, so those classic Bali cliffside photos are covered! Lunch was at Amarta Café, which had unforgettable views, and Mickey went above and beyond, helping us get those viral “gateway” shots.
The day wrapped up back at the port with real thoughtfulness: cold towels, tea, coffee, and clean washrooms. Our car was waiting and we headed back around 5:30pm, completely satisfied and still buzzing from the unforgettable day.
I’ve snorkeled in a few places before, but this trip—thanks to Nyoman and Mickey—set a new benchmark for warmth and personal touch. It’s the kind of travel memory you and your partner will keep coming back to, whether you’re experienced or, like my wife, just starting out. Highly recommended for anyone who wants not just beautiful reefs and wildlife, but a genuinely joyful, supported experience from start to finish.

Thanks to Toyi and Randi for an incredible day, we could see turtles and manta rays and as a bonus dolphins 😝. Our guides were very nice and Toyi spoke super good French so he was able to explain the different elements. Everything was planned, towels, diving masks, fins and various snacks (banana, watermelon, waters)

An unforgettable day with Toyi and Randi
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an unforgettable day with Toyi , Randi and their team! From the start, no exaggerated promises: just the idea of trying to see turtles and manta rays... and in the end, we saw everything! As a bonus we saw dolphins🌊🐬🐢
The family remained amazed. Toyi speaks perfect French, which allowed us to understand every explanation: the food of the manta rays, the behavior of the dolphins, and lots of exciting anecdotes about the environment in which we navigated. Always smiling, he knew how to make this outing both educational and friendly.
The team around him was very caring, with fresh fruit and drinks on board, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks also to the captain who brought us back safely.
My whole family was won over by this wonderful day spent with them. An experience to recommend absolutely!

Private boat/snorkel tour with Gio!
We did the private boat experience with Gio as our guide and it exceeded all of our expectations! It was such a fun, unique and beautiful experience. We were SO lucky to have Gio - he was so fun, funny, kind, knowledgeable and truly made our day. He made us feel so comfortable in the water and got amazing pictures of us and the sea life. The other two men on the boat were also very kind and helpful. We got to see dolphins, fish, turtles and manta rays. It was awesome. Would absolutely recommend this experience!!
