Experience an expansive freediving adventure and encounter majestic manta rays on a snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida. Join professional instructors and explore three stunning snorkeling points near Nusa Penida, including Manta Point, Gamat Bay or Toyapakeh Wall, and SD Point.
- Freedive Nusa - Freediving School - We meet at the school (Freedive Nusa on Google Maps) at 10 am, give you all the equipment (including wetsuits and long fins if needed), and provide a detailed briefing about manta rays, organization aspects, and safety. Then a boat will pick us up right from the school at 10:30 am. Our professional freediving instructors will be on the boat as in-water guides.
We will visit Manta Point, Toyapakeh Wall, SD Point. If there are no mantas in Manta Point, we can also visit Manta Bay on the way back. The route and meeting time might be adjusted to weather conditions.
Please, understand this is wild nature and nobody can promise you to see manta rays. Our crew and instructors always do their best to find mantas but we definitely can’t guarantee them.
Also, please, be mindful that the water might be very choppy! We recommend having a very light breakfast and taking a seasickness tablet in the morning (we will provide it). You should feel confident enough to swim in the open ocean affected by swell and waves.
We have safety boxes, therefore you can leave some of your belongings there. After the trip, you can take a hot shower and use towels.

There are 2 main spots where you can see manta rays in Nusa Penida - Manta Bay and Manta Point.
The first one is the closest and most of the snorkeling trips are going there. Usually, it is very chaotic and messy, there are a lot of people and boats.
The further spot is Manta Point. It’s a much longer journey but you might get more chances to see mantas and fewer people.
Manta Point is much more recommended and this is what we offer in our trips.
The trip is guided by professional freediving instructors!
