What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation before heading to Sanur Harbour for a fastboat crossing to Nusa Penida. The boat ride takes roughly 30 minutes. Once there, your guide briefs you on safety before the first snorkel session. Expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour in the water at each site, with boat time between locations. Water temperature sits around 26–28°C year-round. Visibility is usually 15–25 metres, though it varies seasonally. You'll surface regularly for rest and hydration.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; the tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal or heart issues. Bring sun protection and consider seasickness tablets if prone. The fastboat can be choppy in rough swells. Underwater cameras rent separately. Lunch isn't included, though the beach club offers food.
