Description

Begin your day with a comfortable transfer from Ubud or Karangasem to Kusamba Port, allowing you to save travel time compared to other departure points. From here, board a speedboat and cross the Badung Strait to reach the scenic island of Nusa Penida. Important note: manta rays are wild animals, and sightings are not guaranteed. Encounters depend on weather, sea conditions, and seasonal factors. All snorkeling here is supervised, and touching or interacting with marine life is not allowed. Upon arrival, meet the local team and prepare for a guided snorkeling experience under professional supervision. The first snorkeling stop is Manta Bay, where manta rays are sometimes seen. Continue to Crystal Bay, known for its clear water, colorful coral reefs, and tropical fish. Enjoy snorkeling in good visibility conditions while following responsible snorkeling practices. The next stop is Gamat Bay, a calmer area surrounded by cliffs, ideal for relaxed snorkeling and observing marine life in a quieter setting. After the snorkeling session, switch to a land visit at Kelingking Beach. From the viewpoint, take in panoramic views of dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters, and capture photos of one of Nusa Penida’s most iconic landscapes. At the end of the tour, return to Nusa Penida Harbor and travel back by speedboat to Kusamba Port, concluding a well-balanced half-day experience combining marine exploration and coastal scenery.
