Couldn't have had a better driver - thank you Mudi!! Saw a huge manta ray on the trip which was amazing!! Snorkelling equipment was great, land tour was amazing, saw incredible views and Mudi knew all the best spots - and took AMAZING photos of us too, water bottles given throughout the day and well worth the money.”

“Snorkelling was amazing! Yudi taught us so much about the turtles and how they nurture the turtles until they’re grown. He also made sure we were all good throughout the day and to get pictures of everyone. 10/10 would recommend, pictures on point too. Surprisingly good with it being rainy season, I much preferred it.”

“Amazing tour — everything was absolutely perfect! The tour was very well organized with fantastic snorkeling: clear water, beautiful reefs, and plenty of marine life. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions we didn’t get to see the manta rays, but it didn’t disappoint us at all — we saw 7–8 turtles while snorkeling, which was absolutely incredible! We were very happy and truly satisfied with the experience. The restaurant was another highlight — the best view and delicious food, easily one of the most memorable lunches we had in Bali. The crew was amazing: friendly, professional, attentive, and always ready to help. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and very welcoming.…”
Review of a Nusa Penida day trip from Sanur with four snorkel stops, manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, and practical tips.
“The trip packed a lot into the day – which I really liked. The pickup process was a separate cost from the excursion and had to be booked at the same time, but the price was reasonable and the driver made everything seamless, knowing exactly where to drop us off and pick us up. I recommend adding this on to make the process hassle-free. We had time before boarding to grab breakfast at Seagrass on the Beach in Sanur, since the early pickup didn’t allow us to enjoy the hotel buffet. The boat ride out was a bit choppy (social media may exaggerate the conditions, but the Indian Ocean is…”

Snorkel with manta rays at Nusa Penida’s Manta Point, explore Gamat Bay, and add Kelingking, Broken Beach, and Angel’s Billabong.
“The snorkelling was amazing! I think it was December so swells were large. The guides were amazing! I wish I had taken the pill they provide for sea sickness before hand, as even I felt sea sick despite being an avid swimmer! Our guide Budi was amazing! He was not just a guide, but also the photographer and gave us good recommendations and tips and drove very well despite the narrow bad roads of Nusa Penida! For the lunch stop my suggestion would be to research and find your own preferred stop..”
Review of Nusa Penida’s private snorkeling and land tour, with manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, hotel transfers, and practical tips.
“I think I didn't even take 1 photo to record this trip. The Staff is friendly, however, the day we go is a bit cluody and not have much sunshine also. But the tour guide did not advise to change to another day or snorkeling venue. And then, the fast boat is super bumphy and the the sea is super wavy, I vomit 2 times in the boat (but took dizzy pills already before the trip, see how wavy sea that day) And When we getting to the first drop off point, Manta point, the sea is just too wavy and I can't even do snorkeling. It's ok to diving…”
