From Bali: Snorkeling with Manta Rays in Nusa Lembongan & Penida

9 hours📍 Indonesia

About this tour

Spend nine hours exploring the waters around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, two islands off Bali's coast known for their marine life. You'll visit three separate snorkelling sites, with good chances of encountering manta rays at Manta Bay. The day includes boat transfers from Sanur, lunch, and all necessary gear—a straightforward water-based excursion for confident swimmers.

Highlights

  • Three snorkelling stops across Lembongan and Penida islands
  • Manta rays frequently spotted at Manta Bay
  • Fast boat return journey from Sanur
  • Indonesian buffet lunch included
  • All snorkelling kit and life vests provided

What to expect

You'll depart Sanur early morning on a speedboat headed for Lembongan, then continue to Penida. Each snorkelling site offers 30-45 minutes in the water with a guide. The underwater visibility varies but conditions are usually decent for reef and pelagic spotting. Between stops, you'll return to the boat for a rest, snack, or lunch. The sea can be choppy depending on weather, so mild seasickness is possible. You'll need to be comfortable entering and exiting the boat via ladder and swimming in open water without touching the reef.
