  Loved the whole experience, especially being able to swim with countless manta rays. Our driver Komang accommodated us with pickup and drop-off times from our villa. Our guides on the snorkel boat were great in capturing all the right moments with their GoPro. Would recommend for a memorable experience!

• Improved communication critically needed

  Family of 4 organised a special excursion but unfortunately due to poor communication it really didn’t feel that special and this could be so easily fixed to help us Europeans more used to knowing what is happening when with a little detail sent ahead of the day: 1. Advised to be ready 07:30, which we were, when the taxi didn’t show were told the taxi had broken down, when the taxi arrived he showed us his instructions to collect at 08:30 2. Then taken to ferry port, and showed to terminal with no instruction to get on the boat when our colour lanyard was called (we worked that out ourselves). 3. Crossing was without event thankfully 4. Arrived Nusa Penida, we were not met like we were told we would be. Snorkelling lady had sent a text but my phone dropped signal. Eventually found where we should go. But by this stage I was just annoyed at the chaos and disruption for a very expensive day 5. We paid for a boat for just us it was $580. Was it worth it? Not really, if you don’t mind sharing with others then do so, we are more used to boat trips where you are properly looked after, drinks provided etc. we had 1 bottle of water and a towel each. Snorkelling sites were great although some of them super busy. Make sure you are a competent swimmer as there is some swell and boats to negotiate. Having said that we saw huge manta rays and turtles and abundant fish and beautiful coral. But the promised GoPro pictures never materialised as the boats go pro wasn’t working! (Surprise surprise) 🙄 6. Eventually at nearly 3pm we had the opportunity to grab some food. But we should have had this opportunity before boarding the ferry in the morning really. My advice to the operator: send a text explaining the day ahead of the trip. Explain when and where refreshments can be bought, and where you should go/ whom will contact you at each critical stage. I’m afraid this made for a stressful trip which only the manta ray and turtles made worthwhile. Our driver was kind too but it was clear he had also been messed around. Choose another operator.

  This trip felt pretty disorganized and alarming- there was no clear communication about transportation and each leg of the trip was a new person leading me somewhere with no other tour members. Also, the water for the snorkeling was so rough that the boat had trouble and it was much too rough to snorkel- this should have been checked in advance and then maybe canceled! Definitely do not do this solo, and maybe dont book this one at all- find a tour that is a dedicated guide and group!!!

• Spectacular!!!!

  The experience is great! We enjoyed it so much! Komang picked us up at our hotel and took us to the port so we could go to the activity. Then he picked us up again at the port to return us to the hotel. Throughout Komang was super friendly and very attentive. We loved it!

  It was such a wonderful experience! We didn’t see any manta rays on the day we joined, but we did see beautiful corals and rockfish. However, intoxicants are essential for those who are easily drunk when I go. The driver, kadek, and komang, were very helpful. They were both great drivers.

• Great trip and great driver!

  Booked a 6 hour private boat snorkel trip costing AUD$837 for 4 adults with 4 locations promised. Our driver in Sanur, Budi, was fabulous - great communication, on time and very helpful when we reached Sanur Port. Sadly I can’t say the same when we reached Nusa Penida. We were met and taken to the Manta Fish office at 8-50 and told to just “sit down and relax”. Our snorkelling boat was supposed to leave there at 9am. There was no boat in sight for us. We continued waiting with NO communication about what was happening. I asked a few times when is the boat coming for us and received the usual “maybe ten minutes”. We were finally picked up at 9-40am in what I can only describe as a sub-standard boat based on all the other boats we saw. We were supposed to have an English speaking guide, and whilst the 2 guys on the boat were lovely, both only spoke minimal English which made it very difficult. We were also not provided with towels which is stated as one of the inclusions. The snorkeling was good. We did see a number of manta rays which was great. Unfortunately, because of our very late start we missed out on the last snorkelling place and had to rush back to the port area, nearly missing our boat back to Sanur. It was disappointing as we don’t feel that we got what we paid for, and weren’t able to get the full experience we were expecting. I can only hope that in writing this review, processes at the snorkelling office in Nusa Penida change, so that other visitors don’t experience what we did.

  I had literally such an amazing day! I saw manta rays and so many beautiful fish but truthfully it could not have been possible and such a smooth day without my driver Komang! He was genuinely such a nice guy and made the drive and transition from my hotel to the excursion stress free! Honestly one of the funniest people I’ve met so far on my travels and I will for sure be giving him a call whenever I need anything in Bali! 10/10 one of the best people you could meet!
