Highlights
-
Nusa Penida - Manta Poin is so named as it’s one of the main dive sites in Bali where you can spot manta rays.
These graceful rays are visible on almost every dives, along with spotted stingrays and nurse sharks.
You can dive here all year round, however, the best time to go is usually between August and October,
when visibility can be an excellent 20 metres deep. Most trips depart from Sanur and on the Bali mainland.
The waters around Manta Point can get fairly cold, due to the open currents from the Indian Ocean. However,
visibilty is often excellent here, allowing you to better explore and photograph the prolific marine life under the surface.
Other sights to see here include occasional sea turtles, reef sharks, and the oceanic sunfish ormola-mola.
At around 10 metres within the protected bay, mantas freely roam and feed in the plankton-rich waters while enjoying the symbiotic company of cleaner wrasses who rid their bodies of parasites.

Very good tour. Professional and high CP value 👍 - Tour was very nice. Pickup was smooth with good taxi ride. We go on public boat which little crowded but okay. Company team give us update where to go, very helpful. We choose private tool, I think good choice for us. They give us personal photos, team take them good. We see manta rays, maybe four or five. Very nice to see but little cold in September. I think price okay, not too much. This team is good, I recommend if you like tour like this. Very good memory for us. Thank you.

Beautiful day out - Our lovely driver Agus was waiting nice and early for us at our accommodation in Canggu which was so nice. He was so happy, friendly and engaging and explained what to expect for our day out. Safely got us to the boat transfer and explained what happens when we get to Nusa Penida.
The 4 snorkeling spots were so beautiful, clear blue water, great coral and plenty of fish to see. Unfortunately we did not see manta rays but we knew it couldn't be guaranteed as they are wild.
Such a great day out and definitely recommend it. Shout out to Agus for navigating the hectic Canggu traffic all with a smile !

Good Snorkeling Experience Early Morning - We booked for a private trip at 6:30am. The driver was already waiting for us in the car. We got to the port promptly and boarded the ship within 10 mins. After we arrived on the Island, we were told to get our equipments. I noticed some reviews claimed that the trip seemed a little unorganized, but we felt quite the opposite. The snorkeling experience was very nice in general, although we were not able to go to the Manta Bay due to big waves. We spotted a sea turtle though, which was surely the highlight of this trip. The whole trip lasted about 6 hours including the transportation, giving us plenty of time in the afternoon to wind down at our hotel.

Happy days - Had a great day. The team took in to account our lack of experience and took us to the easier snorkelling areas. We did get to see a manta, coral and lots of fish. Pick up and drop off made everything so easy too.

Nusa Penida, great snorkelling, rest everything average - Snorkelling experience was great and it did help booking a private boat as a couple of us were not swimmers. The prime reason for average rating is (1) the trip to Sanur is a long one (2) Sanur to Penida is an average public boat ride (3) highly unorganized coordination at Penida before getting into boat (it is a fish market), on the boat while the guide was very efficient for snorkelling he was not very encouraging at Manta Bay so we had to skip plus kept nagging for tips and we also felt like some of the breaches mentioned in the trip schedule were skipped.

Avoid this company and trip - Awful company. Told them we may need to postpone as kids were not well through school the week. They said it would be fine. Kids were sick on the crossing as everyone was rammed in a tiny boat and no visibility to see anything snorkelling. Waste of time and money.
