Fantastic Family Day - Thank you so much to the great team @ Forever Vacation. We were picked up by Gede who was our ‘babysitter’ for the day as my kids thought😀he was kind & helpful. We had our tour guide Boneng all to ourselves, we saw Manta Ray, Sea Turtles & lots of cool fish. He was very patient & helpful with little kids and ensured I was able to enjoy my snorkel without having to always hold my kids hands. Excellent day overall and I highly recommend.

Ngurah made this experience of five star - I was on the fence about this trip only because I’ve done a lot of snorkeling. Booking another adventure with forever vacations the day before and one of the best guide experiences I’ve had. Ngurah is the main reason I booked this tour. I knew that he would take care of everything and all I had to do was make sure as on time for the arrival pick up and that was it. Once again Ngurah Did not disappoint From start to finish. And the boat crew was great also with free photos for our experience and they got in the water with us and watched to make sure we are all safe.

Perfect day. Perfect guide. - This was a perfect day and we have our fantastic guide Yasa to thank for it. Yasa was friendly and dedicated to making sure we had a truly great day…he took care of everything for us and always checked to see that we were having a great time. We were guided in the water by Suandika and he took care of us, pointing out all the beautiful things during our snorkelling. Thank you Yasa for the time and effort you took to give us this wonderful experience.

Effortless adventure! - Fantastic adventure, every step was taken care of for us; from hotel pickup to lunch and the return trip. All you have to do is show up and the rest is smooth like butter. Tenngo led us through the process and made sure we didn’t get lost along the way, and Suandika captured the snorkeling with some amazing photos! Could not recommend this group highly enough.

Well worth the extra money! - I researched many different tours before deciding on this one, and I’m glad I did. My main goal was to swim with manta rays, and I know they’re wild animals so it’s not a 100% guarantee that you’ll spot them every time, but ForeverVacation’s reviews were plentiful and all stellar. The boat driver and guides worked very hard to spot manta rays at well-known spots, so you could tell they wanted us to get the chance to see them. They didn’t give up easy, which makes them different than other tour groups. The photographer was also a great swimmer and free-diver and worked hard to get some great underwater shots. I saw 3 manta rays in one dive and that was all I wanted. But of course there was lots more to see! The coral and sea life at the other snorkeling spots are just breathtakingly beautiful. Our photographer also swam quite a ways to spot a sea turtle for us, so that was an added bonus! The company also provided us with a breakfast treat before we hopped on the speedboat, and then water bottles during our dives. Transfers were smooth and easy, so I’m glad I picked this tour (all-inclusive) so I didn’t have to worry about entrance fees or anything. Spending the extra money was well worth it. This company is professional and I would definitely tour with them again if I had the chance! Big thanks to Sutha and Suandika!

Saw Nemo and Dory - My guide Suarnaya was courteous and kind. He was very generous in sharing his local knowledge. No mantra rays as not the peak time to see. Our boat captain steered us to see lots of sea life 🪸 🐟 🐠🐢 saw Nemo and Dory too.

Great experience and great guides - all seamlessly planned for you - My daughter and I wanted to visit Nuda Penida but didn’t want to have to plan and organise all the details of the trip. We also wanted to be in safe and knowledgeable hands. This experience is expertly planned - every detail is carefully organised for our convenience, ease and comfort. The early morning pick up at our villa by the lovely Yasa was great, and he took care of us until we were on the fast boat to the island - even leaving time for a coffee and pastry in the local cafe while he got our tickets. The snorkelling around multiple bays with Eka who clearly knows the sea like his back pocket! We saw manta rays, turtles, colourful fish and corals and he even filmed and took pictures with his go pro which means we have wonderful underwater memories of our trip. And the lovely Robert who was our driver on the island for the day. Being a native of the island he tailored the beach we finished our visit on to avoid all the crowds and knew exactly where to take us to get the best view from the Kelingkik bay! He then drove us back to the fast boat and made sure we were able to board it early. Knowing that Yasa was waiting for us to take us right back home was a relief after a busy day! Throughout each guide took care of timing and details and all we had to do was enjoy our day! A brilliant experience all round.
