Bali Snorkeling

Hello! Hoping this helps my fellow Koreans..🍀 First off, I booked the hotel pickup + private boat option. The driver will contact you the day before. Then, you'll meet them on the day, and they'll take you to what seems like a ticket office, and when it's close to your boat departure time, they'll gather everyone and take you to the harbor, where you'll board a public speedboat. Then, the company will contact you via WhatsApp, and they'll pick you up and take you to the Nusa Penida office to get your gear and head out for the experience. From there, we traveled by private boat. It was way more fun than I expected, and we did see manta rays..! But the currents were so strong that they wouldn't let us get too close ㅜㅜ I'll definitely use them again next time. Also, the beach shoes are useless. The water shoes are useless. No need to bring rash guard ^^*

A well organised tour with 4 snorkelling spots, thought the day we went was too windy and the sea was so rough that we missed the Manta Bay, but we were guided to go another 3 snorkelling spots where we met turtles, colourful corals, fishes and different varieties of sea creatures! Amazing! the tour guides were friendly and helpful. The Island tour was super nice too taking us to a few photo scenic spots! one improvement I would recommend is to make the shower place better!

We had a really great tour today with our guide, Tirta. First, about the guide: he was very friendly, always available, picked us up everywhere on time, and also tried to keep the car cool. In addition, his English is quite good, which makes communication very pleasant. Since one waterfall could not be visited due to a festival, he recommended another that I think was much better. The snorkeling was also great, and we could see many different fish. All in all, a great day.

My goal was clear: to see manta rays on a half-day snorkeling trip. So, before the trip, I researched a lot online to increase my chances. Let me start with the result: I give it a five-star rating! Because I finally saw a manta ray as big as a car – it was so shocking! Experience: Here are the key points I considered: 1. Private small group, high flexibility I didn't choose a large group tour because I saw many posts mentioning a lower chance of seeing mantas. A private small group is more expensive (equivalent to chartering a boat), but I thought this company's price was reasonable and acceptable. 2. Choose the earliest time slot (7:00 AM) The water is clearer, and the fish are more abundant. The meeting point is right on the beach, but the map makes it look hard to find. After getting off the road, you have to walk along a small path to the beach. It's recommended to leave early to avoid wasting time finding the way. The signal there is also very poor. 3. Chance of seeing manta rays: According to online information, Manta Point > Manta Bay (note that they are different spots). However, this is a package tour, and the first spot is usually Manta Bay. So, before departure, I communicated with the shop on-site, stating that if I didn't see anything in the Bay, I wanted to go to the farther Manta Point. The shop said it would cost extra, which makes sense because the distance is about twice as far. I also found online that it costs extra. The final negotiated price was an additional TWD 2400, and the boat could take us to the Point. However, they warned that even if we went, there was no guarantee of seeing anything. The weather that day wasn't great either, but we came all the way here, so let's go for it! Along the way, the captain was diligently looking for traces of manta rays. If there weren't any, we kept going, and then finally arrived at the Point before getting in the water. After about 15 minutes in the water, I thought maybe I wasn't meant to see them... suddenly, it appeared!! Its wings were swimming so cutely! So huge! This was my first time seeing a wild manta ray up close – totally worth it! Other foreigners on the boat jumped into the water very excitedly, kicking their fins to get closer to take pictures, and even bumping into me. I didn't expect a stampede to happen in the sea... The guide also dove down to help take pictures and videos. The second dive spot seemed to be Diamond Beach. The water was warm, and there were many fish. I thought it was great too (those who are afraid of the cold or sun should wear a wetsuit or rash guard; the shop doesn't have any to rent). Small drawback: I didn't receive any contact from the shop the night before, and the address seemed difficult to find. We later asked the hotel to help us call them to confirm the location. Just a small complaint, I hope they can improve this. Summary: If you have limited travel time and only have a half-day tour, and your friends are afraid of diving but you still want to see manta rays – this long post is for you. This company is a worthy option to consider. I also did everything I could to increase the chances: wake up early, willing to pay a little extra, and be mentally prepared (after all, no one can guarantee wild animals). I wish everyone gets what they want and unlocks a new life experience!

Travelling as a family of four with two kids, we recently joined the Blue Lagoon Beach Snorkeling Experience and had an overall enjoyable trip. The snorkeling spots offered plenty of marine life, making the experience fun and relaxing. However,showering facilities could be improved. The area is a public shared shower space with only two small changing rooms, which can be inconvenient when it gets crowded. The second part of the trip included visits to local attractions, and Taman Ujung Water Palace stood out. The panoramic view from the top is absolutely worth the climb;stunning scenery and great for photos. A special shoutout to our driver, Jek. Excellent throughout the journey;friendly, professional, and spoke good English. His driving felt safe, and he even helped take great photos at every stop, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Do note local traffic conditions, as the return trip can easily take 3 hours or more. Overall, a good tour made even better by outstanding driver.

My family and I went seawalking and we loved every bit of it. There were a big variety of fish and they were so beautiful!!! It was good to do a underwater activity and be able to breathe normally through a special helmet. I was a bit nervous in the beginning but the staff was great and I felt comfortable with them. It was a good day out and an amazing experience.

Instructor: Is the instructor's name Inja? I'm not sure of the English name. I wanted to thank the instructor again for being so kind and professional to me and my family, and for making this family trip so happy.

Well communicated trip. Driver was on time and my guide Rizal was very good as well. Time planned properly to ensure I get back to mainland on time. Kudos to both the driver and Rizal.

if you staying in Nusa Dua, this place very close and reasonably priced. it was great for young children, my son 6 years old and daughter 10 years old were very much enjoyed.
