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…”

His local knowledge was a blessing, we even had a delish fresh coconut! We finished the tour very early, so a refreshing beach swim would have finished the day perfectly as it was so hot. But other than that we definitely recommend this tour and our guide!!! 🙏🏼”
