About this tour
A six-hour private snorkelling expedition around Nusa Penida's underwater hotspots, departing from Sanur. You'll explore three prime reefs—Manta Bay, Gamat Bay, and Crystal Bay—aboard your own boat with an instructor. Roughly two hours spent in the water across twenty-minute segments at each site. The day wraps with Indonesian lunch back at the harbour. Hotel transfers and all gear included.
Highlights
- Private boat and dedicated snorkelling instructor for the day
- Three reef sites: Manta Bay, Gamat Bay, Crystal Bay
- Manta ray sightings possible—wildlife dependent
- Around-trip fast boat and hotel pickup included
- Twenty minutes underwater per site, manageable depths
- Indonesian meal at harbour after snorkelling
What to expect
You'll meet at Sanur Harbour early morning, then board the public fast ferry to Nusa Penida (roughly 30 minutes). Once there, switch to your private snorkelling boat. The instructor briefing takes the pressure off—they'll navigate conditions, check your gear fit, and keep an eye on you underwater. Each reef stop lasts about twenty minutes; you'll surface, move to the next site, repeat. Weather can reshape the plan—storms or swells mean the crew swaps in alternative spots nearby. Manta encounters aren't guaranteed; these are wild creatures. Expect moderate currents at depth and decent visibility on calm days.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or managing heart issues. GoPro hire isn't included. Bring sun protection and a light layer for boat travel. The actual snorkel time is concentrated—total water time around two hours split across three locations.
