★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,067 reviews · 9 - 10 hours · from $91

Explore Nusa Penida by fast boat, snorkel with manta rays and turtles, enjoy lunch by an infinity pool, and visit Kelingking Cliff.

“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 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…”

Then we were off to Water beach and more snorkeling - we saw turtles and eagle rays. Gorgeous! Captain Rusty had us back at the dock right on time. Thank you so much!!”

Swim with Crystal River manatees on a private three-hour tour with gear, guides, photos, and room for up to 10 people.

“The captain and mate (Micheal and Dani) were great we loved them, I would have rated this 5 stars if maybe we were warned ahead of time that we were going to be in very murky water and not really see much of the manatees. It was a fun day but we only really saw one maybe two and there were a lot of other tours in the same area and we only could spend a limited time with the one we saw. I have done the tour before and it was in the winter in the springs. That is the way to go, don't go anytime past February or…”

Review of Bali Blue Lagoon snorkeling from Seminyak, with private transfer, lunch, two reef stops, optional waterfalls, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The drive to the snorkeling spot is a fair distance from Seminyak but interesting to see without the stress of navigation. The actual seaside town is beautiful and the facilities are well equipped. Andre’s team of professionals helped every step of the way and had all the information we needed. The traditional boats are comfortable and sheltered and the trip to the reef is only ten minutes once you’re on the boat. The marine life is abundant with all the characters from finding Nemo that your heart could hope for on the first site along with giant turtles and plenty of clown fish at the second. We had a fantastic…”

Review of Cozumel’s private Jade Caverns Jeep Tour, with cenotes, snorkeling, tastings, lunch, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“The first difficulty was finding the pickup spot. The directions given did not take you to the spot. They don't really have a booth, just a guy standing around waiting for you. You actually spend more time just riding in a vehicle than anything else. It was interesting to see the island, but too much vehicle time. We did enjoy seeing how the tequila was made - and of course the samples. The lunch was nothing to get excited about. Three small tacos - all beverages (including water) were extra. Our guide was good, but overall, the snorkeling was the most enjoyable part.”
