Day Trip snorkeling Nusa Penida - Manta 3 sites (from south bali)

Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Comfortable boat ride, excellent guide. We started by drifting through some of the healthiest coral I have seen, with several turtles along the way. At the next location, we had the pleasure of being circled closely by a pod of dolphins. At our third location, we had to be patient, but eventually two mantas showed up at the cleaning station.

We loved two of the three sites where we snorkeled on this trip. The third was too deep and choppy for a great snorkeling experience. This was probably because the outing was mainly designed for scuba divers -- six of them and only two of us. While we are perfectly happy to snorkel independently, it might not be an experience that appeals to uncertain swimmers, as we were dropped off in rather deep water with a "babysitter" while the boat took off with the divers to an area further away and then came back about an hour later to pick us up. The lunch for vegetarians was much better than I expected. The crew was definitely not into conducting a tour for tourists. They were there to facilitate and/or teach scuba diving. They were constantly laughing and joking among themselves. One of them joked in a language other than English about "US dollars" as he looked at us. We tipped our "babysitter" because he kindly loaned my husband his better snorkel and mask than the one that was provided by the tour. Although an approaching storm prohibited us from visiting the Manta site, we enjoyed the snorkeling anyway, as we have seen Mantas close up and personal on the Big Island of Hawaii. We chose this tour because it provided hotel pick up and drop off, and I would do it again, but if you need hand-holding, this is not the tour for you.

Super nice , Bali is beautiful , Diving Coach Adi & Fuck 🙂 (It's not good to say a word) Super careful💕 Have a good experience. See you next time. 🙂 🙂

If you’re looking to dive in Bali definitely check out the Bali Diving Academy shop! They have multiple shops on the island and I visited their shop in Sanur by Denpasar. I chose the dive day trip to Nusa Penida where we dove at 3 sites - SD Point, Crystal Bay, and Manta Point and had a great time. The shop offered me transport from my resort in Ubud to the shop and back, the pick up in the morning was at 6:15 am. A big thank you to our lead diver Adi and his supporting cast for leading us on this dive day trip, his briefings were clear and he made sure we had fun and were safe throughout our dives. Also a big thank you to my drivers who drove me from my resort to the shop and back, the drive was long about 1.5 hours and the traffic didn’t make it easier so a big thank you to them once again. Definitely check out the Bali Diving Academy shop if you’re looking to dive in Bali, I had a great time with them and I highly recommend them! - Nolan

Excelente service, kind people starting with the guides and driver. Rai always was near me and they helped me get into the water without jumping. All very kind. The snorkeling was indescribable beautiful: we saw turtles, al kind of candy color fish, and the most gorgeous array of colorful coral. Blessed with the best weather and crystal clear visibility.

Nice trip, 3 great places to snorkling. The pickup at the hotell was ok, and easy. The crew was helpful, and ok english. So it was s great day😁

Text in Norwegian. Bali Diving Academy in Sanur picked us up at the agreed location and drove us by diving boat to selected dive sites. Everything is well organized and it feels safe. We had a fantastic day with 15-20 Mantas and fantastic clear visibility at Manta Bay. Then to Cristal bay, with turtles, a lot of beautiful corals, fish in all variations. Last dive at Mangrove Point where we followed the ocean currents at a depth of 10-15 for 2-3 km. A sea of corals. The boat trip takes about 45-60 minutes to the island and they have plenty of drinks and food arranged. Can be strongly recommended.

A fun day snorkelling with the Bali Dive Academy! A small group so lots of personal attention from the lovely dive instructors and masters. Really enjoyed our trip!

Dive with friends to Tulamben, because your friend is already a divers, so decided to be a formal divers at the local certificate!! Very successful! Dedicated instructors, professional and fun to concentrate, the whole experience is rich. good teacher, wonderful dive trip!
