About this tour
A three-hour snorkelling expedition departing from Toya Pakeh in Nusa Penida, targeting manta ray encounters and vibrant reef systems across three distinct sites. Local guides read conditions daily and steer you toward the most productive spots, whether that's gliding alongside mantas at their cleaning stations or investigating steep drop-offs teeming with fish. All gear provided, plus GoPro documentation of your best moments.
Highlights

- Full snorkelling kit and underwater photography included
- Expert local guides familiar with seasonal patterns
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Toya Pakeh beach and board a snorkelling boat heading to whichever locations offer the day's best visibility and marine activity. Manta Point is the headline act—rays cruising near the surface to feed on plankton—but you'll also explore Gamat Bay's coral formations and Wall Bay's dramatic drop-offs. Expect a mix of calm snorkelling and slight currents depending on conditions. The boat crew will photograph you with GoPro throughout, capturing reef shots and hopefully manta encounters. Total time in water across the three stops is roughly two hours.
Good to know
Bring swimwear and a rash guard if you have sensitive skin. The boat can be bumpy; take seasickness tablets beforehand if prone. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Hotel transfers aren't included—arrange your own to Toya Pakeh. Bring cash for tips and any extras.
