Description

Ultimate Snorkeling and Island Adventure: Nusa Penida & Lembongan Seamless Arrival at Nusa Lembongan Start your journey stress-free with an optional hotel pick-up from selected areas in Bali, or meet us directly at the ferry office (depending on the option you booked). Depart from Serangan Port with a big aluminum ferry to Nusa Lembongan. This big boat is less bumpy than the normal-sized boats. Upon arrival on Nusa Lembongan, you will be welcomed to our base with a refreshing welcome drink and a light bite. From Lembongan, we will start the snorkeling journey to Nusa Penida, renowned for being less developed and home to abundant, pristine nature. You'll marvel at the dramatic coastal landscapes as we make our way to the best snorkeling locations. Embark on a thrilling full-day excursion from Bali to the stunning Nusa Islands. This tour combines world-class snorkeling around Nusa Penida with a relaxing island experience on Nusa Lembongan, promising an unforgettable day of marine encounters and natural beauty. Snorkel with Majestic Manta Rays Your adventure begins with fast-boat access to the best dive sites in the region. We'll take you to three spectacular snorkeling spots, focusing on an encounter with the magnificent Manta Rays. You'll head toward sites like Manta Bay or Manta Point, where the plankton-rich waters draw these gentle giants, some boasting impressive wingspans of up to four or five meters. Other potential sites, depending on conditions, include Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh, or Gamat Bay. Safety is our top priority. We closely monitor the strong Indian Ocean swells and ocean conditions to ensure it is safe to swim with the rays at a shallow depth (less than 1.5 meters from the surface). If conditions are not suitable, the snorkeling itinerary will be adjusted to ensure the best possible alternative experience. Mangrove Exploration and Buffet Lunch After your magical time in the water, we return to Nusa Lembongan for a well-deserved break. Enjoy a delicious Indonesian buffet lunch served right next to the Mangrove Forest. The adventure continues in the afternoon as you get the chance to explore the unique mangrove forest. Glide through the dense, calming waterways by kayak or stand-up paddleboard for a scenic and relaxing nature experience (depending on the option selected). Or, unwind with a relaxing 30-minute massage (back or foot) at the nearby Karuna Island Spa (if option is selected)

Important Information

  • The itinerary may be adjusted at the last minute in order to keep you safe from the strong swells of the Indian Ocean.
  • Seeing or snorkeling with the manta rays is not always guaranteed on every tour, as it depends on the weather and water conditions. If we can't go to Manta Point or Manta Bay due to the weather, we'll change to another safer spot. Pickup and drop off location must be the same. This tour will take place rain or shine. If you are less than 10 years old, or older than 60, and have conditions mentioned at 'Who is this activity not suitable for' but insist on coming, you will be denied entry without any refund.
