How It Works
Enjoy a relaxed, snorkeling-focused day trip without the long list of cliff-viewpoint stops — just a later, more leisurely start and three of Nusa Penida's best snorkeling spots: Manta Bay, Gamat Bay, and Wall Point. Departing a little later than our other day tours, this trip is designed for travelers who want to spend their time in the water rather than on the road. Your snorkeling boat (sharing or private, depending on your booking), gear, guide, and underwater photos are all arranged in advance. After the morning in the water, enjoy lunch at Arjuna Beach Club before heading back. From your arrival in Nusa Penida until drop-off, our team takes care of the logistics so you can simply enjoy the swim.

Verified BookingThe tour had many good things. We really enjoyed it. The guide was the best. He is Amazing and took good care of us and tried hard to make us comfortable. He is a good diver and tried very hard to get good photos. We really appreciat him very much. The first stop was too much for us as we are beginners and where not comfortable. I would have preferred to been given the option not to go there as we are beginners. We didn’t feel comfortable in manta bay and it was too hard for us. The other 2 stops were much better. Everyone that took care of us was great. The driver the man who picked us up at the ferry - he helped me a lot with one of our problems. And the woman at the showers and helping us with lunch and ferry back she was great. I’m glad we used your company and would recommend.
