1.️Nusa Penida by Private Boat – Snorkeling 4 spots, Swim with Mantas + Land Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,424 reviews · from $100Our pick

Spend 10 to 11 hours crossing from Serangan to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan by speedboat. You will snorkel four areas, look for manta rays and turtles, eat beside an infinity pool, and visit Kelingking Cliff by car. Guides such as Ringo, Nemo, Vicky, and Jena are praised for friendly support.

“My husband and I chose the premium shared experience, and it was well worth the price. The boat was comfortable and spacious, everyone’s belongings remained dry, and our tour guides were also great. We were in a small group of 10 excluding the crew, however the snorkeling was in more secluded areas so we didn’t have to worry about getting lost in other tour groups. The day is jam-packed, but the land tour to Kelingkling beach was optional so only my husband and I ended up going while everyone else had extra time to relax at the beautiful lunch spot. The professional photography/go pro footage included in the premium package…”

“Very well organised. The tours are managing very big numbers of people, that's just travel in our time it seems. However, they are doing it responsibly, in many small groups, and one never feels overwhelmed by crowds (although the first trek up a hill around a crater is pretty rammed). It's a long day and packed with experiences - there's plenty for the vacuous younger people whose lives revolve entirely around queueing up to take photos of themselves for social media, but less psychologically and culturally destroyed people from the 20th century also have many opportunities to appreciate things. Transport is comfortable. Everything seemed very safe and considered. The natural…”

Additionally the guide takes go pro pictures and air drops them too you which was awesome! one thing to note - the ferry ride can be a little bumpy just letting people know if you get easily seasick but we were fine!”

We were 1 of only two boats in the area so it wasn’t too crowded. There was also an option to buy the photographs at the end taken on a GoPro. It was the highlight of my trip to Lembongan.”

He shared information about Balinese culture along the drive and was willing to answer questions we had about life here. We highly recommend adding the waterfalls to the snorkeling tour as they were beautiful. We would recommend bringing an extra dry swimsuit for after snorkeling and change into it before lunch (you don’t want to eat lunch all wet). You can get in the waterfalls and get even more beautiful pictures if you have an extra swimsuit. A towel…”
