POLLUTION IN THE WATER - AVOID THIS EXPERIENCE
triplehownz,Apr 14, 2026

2.00I want to start off by saying I understand that Indonesia is a third world country but it is just truely awful at the amount of rubbish that was in the water near the poor manta rays. Where ever you looked you would see rubbish float by you. I ended up vomiting partly due to the motion of the boat but mostly due to how disturbed I was at the pollution. Until the locals can respect the sea that surrounds their island I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS EXPERIENCE! This is my second time coming to Bali and I will never again do snorkelling, it almost ruined my trip. Please boycott snorkelling until the locals clean the sea around them.
Brilliant trip

5.00Fabulous trip and great service. The tour company even made our travel arrangements to the island for us, made contact in advance of the trip to ensure we were still coming and arranged to pick us up from the boat. Very comforting for a first visit to any place The trip itself was amazing, we saw Mantas, turtles and so many other species of fish. Lovely helpful crew on the boat. Brilliant experience thanks guys x

5.00Knowledgeable crew, felt very safe and well looked after. Only 12 of us on the boat. Swam with lots of Manta rays and the snorkelling at Crystal Bay was, a hillight for me. We were lucky with very clear and calm water for our morning. Sent photos at end of trip for free. Our teenager said it was "sick!" Thanks to Alex and his crew.
Amazing experience

Mantas in Bali

4.00Snorkeling trip with 30ish people. Three stops. The first stop was on Nusa Penida at the base of a seaside cliff where currents must have been aggregating plankton. A few mantas were coursing back and forth. If you knew how to position yourself they would sweep past you close enough to touch, which of course one wouldn't. The amazing spectacle was diminished somewhat by a lot of plastic debris in the water and by having to share it with a couple hundred other snorkelers. The second stop was in a beautiful sheltered cove on Nusa Penida that had some coral and fish - nothing special but very nice. My best sighting was a sea snake hunting among the coral. The third was a drift snorkle off Mangrove Point, on Nusa Lembongan, which was a lot of fun. The highlights were a large green turtle, a couple of nice bommies and some good coral gardens, and some beautiful blue clownfish. Unfortunately the extensive branching corals had suffered a LOT of damage in a recent cyclone. Again, lots of plastic in the water, unfortunately.
Unforgettable Wild Experience

5.00Me, my wife, father in law and my 9 year old son. First time all around snorkeling in an ocean setting such as this. We started out with a briefing and safety instruction at the shop. Very informative, English was good easy to understand. We started out for Manta Bay we cruised thru and our captain scanned the water for marine life, quickly determined we needed to check Manta point instead as they are always moving around. We found Mantas and got us right in the thick of it. The water was a little choppy that day but our guides made sure that we were safe right there beside us in the water. I was confident that my wife and son were in good hands and it allowed me to venture a bit to get some good footage of the Mantas. Following we inquired about Crystal Bay and determined it was unsafe so we moved to Wahl Bay where we drift snorkeled and found Nemo and Gill among many others beside a beautiful reef. We then made our way to Mangrove Point spotting a sea turtle on arrival and exploring another immaculate reef supporting a plentiful bounty of marine life. Couldn’t have been happier with our first experience to this side of the world. The people here are one of a kind, genuine, and honest. We made some family along the way accompanied by some unforgettable memories. Thank you brothers!
Friendly team and good snorkeling spots

4.00Very friendly team and particularly interesting diving sites. The excursion took place in quite rough seas, which was a bit difficult for my children who do not really have the sea foot. Unfortunately, the manta ray spot was very popular: many divers and snorkelers, some of whom seemed to be looking for pictures alongside the rays rather than observing the animal respectfully.
A good setup, boat was...

4.00A good setup, boat was good, friendly staff, equipment was in good condition, the ocean swell was terrible, but did see a manta ray , sea turtles and lots of fish. Unfortunately so much rubbish in the water.

Swam with manta rays!

5.00Had the best time!! Despite a very choppy day, we were able to swim with Manta Rays at Manta Point. The staff are very considerate, and make sure you are safe. 3 hours was the perfect amount. Only $22 AUD for a beautiful experience. Best for those with decent swimming experience but life jackets and a life ring are supplied.
