Itä-Balin kohokohdat -päiväretki: USAT Liberty -hylky ja Taman Ujung

Ordered the shared tour with hotel pick up/drop off as a solo traveller. While the itinerary specifically indicated guided tour to Liberty Wreck at 10am, the local operator later clarified that there is no snorkeling guide as I didn't choose the option with snorkel. It baffled me because both the snorkel and no snorkel options show guided tour to the wreck, there was no mention anywhere about the presence/lack of snorkeling guide, and the only difference in the itineraries between the two was the equipment rental, which I don't need as I already brought mine. In short, there is significant room for improvement in the listing. I had given up on snorkeling as it is not safe to do watersports alone and at an unfamiliar place. Thankfully the driver Sarbuja saved the day by actively sourcing for a local snorkeling guide to bring me at a fee to the shipwreck site. Sarbuja is also very knowledgeable about Balinese culture and I enjoyed the chats with him. Highly recommend Sarbuja.

Such an unforgettable day exploring East Bali!!! The USAT Liberty shipwreck was incredible! so much marine life and surprisingly easy to access, even for beginners. Ending the trip at Taman Ujung was the perfect touch peaceful, scenic, and super Instagram-worthy! 📸✨
