Nusa Lembongan and Manta Bay Snorkeling Experience

My boyfriend and I joined this excursion and it was one of the highlights of our holiday in Bali. Everything was very well organized, from the departure in Sanur to the activities throughout the day. The snorkeling spots were absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to see a manta ray, a pod of dolphins, a sea turtle, and thousands of colorful fish. The equipment was in good condition, and the instructors were patient, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable in the water. The lunch was tasty, and we really enjoyed the peaceful mangrove tour, which was relaxing. We also appreciated the stops at the island’s points of interest, making the excursion a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and sightseeing. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bali!

This was a great morning out. Registered at the boat company to get boat pass and sticker with tour company meeting us on Nusa Lembongan to put in shirt to be identified. Boat trip over easy and met straight away on the beach by Budah tour group who bundled us into the tuk tuk to take us to meet our guides at the tour building which has facilities to change into swimmers before heading out. The guide gave us great instructions on how to use the snorkel properly for better visibility and breathing (which would have been handy last week!!🤣). Once out to sea they took us to 3 snorkelling spots. We managed to see one Manta! The 2nd spot was totally amazing with clear water ample fishes and coral. The 3rd spot had a really strong current and the guide had to help me as it kept trying to take me to shallow coral reefs! I had a great time and couldn’t fault the Budah tour group on anything. Everything was organised and easy. Totally worth doing!

such a beautiful experience and even better service by the divers. they made sure we all were looked after and catered to. my girls 5 & 7 loved this experience and felt comfortable in the water because the instructors were patient and attentive. the boat ride to the island wasn’t too great as it was super hot in the boat but the boat ride to snorkelling was AMAZING. Wouod highly recommend to anyone. Wouod 100% so it again. we got our tickets and headed to Nusa Lembongan and was picked up quickly and taken to registration area, they provided water and chocolate onboard. The guides were funny as well which made the trip even better.

That activity was amazing! We stopped at 3 different spots to snorkel at Nusa Lembongan. We got to see manta rays, turtles, colorful corals, and lots of different fish. It was incredible! Then, we had lunch, and they gave us towels, changing rooms, and showers. After lunch, we did the Manglar, which was so pretty. And we finished with a car tour of the island. Everything was so well organised (pick up/dropp off from/to the hotel, ferry trasport, activities) and the whole service was great! We highly recommended this Tour Company.

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!

Highly recommend this activity it was perfect and the instructions were so simple we received a WhatsApp message the day before with all the details, the guides made sure everyone is feeling good and safe. we saw a lot of fish and mantra rays it was really magical, make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat and also another outfit to change for the island tour. the food was perfect as well.

I was extremely satisfied with the Manta Bay snorkeling tour! It was a truly special experience being able to see manta rays, turtles, and dolphins all in one go. The Manta Point looked a bit dangerous with the high waves, but the guides led us safely, so I could enjoy it without worry. We efficiently visited three spots right on schedule, and I felt well taken care of because the guides thoroughly explained the safety rules and precautions, which gave me even more confidence. Thanks to them, it was a comfortable and happy snorkeling experience. I was really satisfied with the tour and definitely want to participate again next time!

highly recommend. bring appropriate footwear as it's a beach harbour. Robbie, Jack and Jimmy were helpful with beginners. you wear a life vest/floatie throughout the snorkelling. so even if you can't swim, you will still float without moving. appropriate for all ages as you are helped board and disembark. the guides have a life preserver in the water at all times so you can hold onto it while watching the sea floor. we saw the highlights: mantas, dolphins and turtles. I did the mangrove, it's like a Venice gondola but in the mangrove. nice, cool and quiet.

Would recommend this trip to everyone going to Bali! Even though it says no hotel transfer, they will reach out to you on whatsapp and you can book a round trip which is very helpful. The snorkelling tour was very fun and we saw a lot of Manta Rays! Instructors and equipment were all great. Would recommend!

You have to check in to the office by 8:45, but if you don't think you can make the taxi time, you can just ask for a round-trip pickup service via WhatsApp. I thought the taxi pickup service was one-way, but it was round-trip! The office pays both the taxi fare and the environmental protection fee? They pick you up at 7:10 and arrive at 8! They wait until 9:20 to see if there are any latecomers. We all walk together from the office to the port (it's faster to walk. 3-5 minutes?). After buying the ticket, we take a speedboat. If your back hurts, take the last one! It takes about 30 minutes and we arrive at the base camp. We meet Ruby and Jimmy at the base camp. They give us life jackets (they're all in bad condition, so make sure to fasten them tightly) and flippers. They then make us into teams of 9-10. We take a snorkeling boat to Sejiji, but the waves are strong, so it's not recommended for beginners! Ruby told us about it, so we saw 6-7 stingrays! The second point is coral reef + fish, which is good even for beginners! The third point is so trivial that I can't remember it! I didn't see any turtles. You have to be near the guide to take a lot of pictures, but you really can't take pictures. There's nothing to catch unless you dive. We went snorkeling > shower > lunch > mangrove > island tour (by car). They gave us a body towel when we got off the snorkeling boat. We had noodles + curry soup for lunch at the base camp, and the noodles were delicious. They also gave us watermelon. There are shower facilities and changing rooms, but they move on to the next course very quickly, so if you're late, you might get in trouble. (The shower is just to drain the sea water.) The mangroves take about 10 minutes, and the car island tour goes to 3 places, and each place takes 20-25 minutes. It's mostly for taking pictures. I recommend it to those who haven't been to the ocean. They drop you off in front of the port after the car tour. If you take a speedboat, they contact you and tell you that the pick-up vehicle is in the convenience store across from the office. That's why I arrived at the hotel safely. I recommend buying a snorkeling mask. It's not hygienic to wash it. I recommend wearing a swimsuit under your clothes! If you have long hair, bring a hair tie! There are lockers at the base camp, but the keys are small, so leave them with the staff! They give you a bottle of water, but it's dirty! You might get motion sickness, so make sure to bring motion sickness medicine! Wear flip-flops or slippers! Wear clothes that dry quickly! There were no children among the tourists, but there were some elderly people! But the snorkeling Gaori zone was difficult!
