1.Nusa Penida day trip: boat, 4 snorkeling, Manta rays & Land tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,033 reviews · from $78Our pick

“If you want to see local ocean wildlife with amazing and friendly guides, this is the excursion for you! Each of our 3 snorkeling spots had numerous and colorful reef fish and coral. We saw at least 4 manta rays and 6 sea turtles as well! The stop at a Nusa Penida restaurant with photo op was also excellent along with a stunning view of Kelingking Beach! We had absolutely perfect sunny and relatively calm weather (just be prepared for the scorching heat on the island). All in all, it was a fantastic day with every food, equipment, photo, and travel need met by the company. Huge shout out to…”

“The snorkeling part was my favorite, the only thing it’s by the 3rd beach the go pro died and they couldn’t take more pictures or videos, otherwise we saw Manta, Turtle, Dolphins, Fishes, Corals, it was AMAZING, I wish I had more videos swimming with the animals. The land part was also really cool, the tour guide suggested a hidden beach that it wasn’t on the list but it was BEAUTIFUL and calm, so I liked it a lot, he took a bunch of good pictures. A little bit expensive but worth it, if you have the chance to book it with a local guide do it, it will save…”
