The Best Snorkeling Trips in Bali

Snorkel with Manta Rays and Turtles at Nusa Penida

Best snorkeling trip in Bali – Nusa Penida

Make sure you experience some of Bali’s most epic and majestic creatures with a snorkel trip to Nusa Penida. Share the water with Manta Rays, watching these gentle (and harmless) giants as they glide around and underneath you. Truly a magical experience.

We’ll also visit other snorkel locations where you can enjoy cruising along at the surface and observing stunning healthy coral, hawksbill and green turtles and loads of schooling reef fish.

Expect a pick up at around 6:30am, then a drive across to Sanur where we take the speedboat to Nusa Penida island for your snorkel adventures in the ocean. Lunch is provided on the boat, as well as snacks and water.
