Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling & Waterfalls with Private Transfer

Summary

Blue Lagoon snorkeling and waterfall day trip from Bali

You’ll snorkel Bali’s Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun beaches with all equipment provided, then enjoy a relaxed Indonesian lunch right by the shore. With private hotel pickup and stops at Tibumana and Kanto Lampo waterfalls included, you get both ocean colors and jungle greens in one day — plus those small moments that stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

Someone hands me a mask that still smells faintly of saltwater, and I’m already grinning — I’ve never snorkeled in Bali before. Our driver had picked us up right from our guesthouse in Seminyak (no stress about taxis), and now we’re stepping onto this little wooden boat bobbing just off Padang Bai. The captain, Ketut, jokes about my “snorkel face” as we shove off toward the Blue Lagoon. The water is so clear it almost looks fake, but then you see flashes of yellow fish darting beneath the surface. I keep losing track of time just watching them — I think we were out there for an hour, but honestly, who knows.

Tanjung Jepun is only a few minutes away by boat, but it feels different somehow — quieter maybe, or maybe it’s just that my ears are still full of seawater. There’s this moment when you float above the coral and everything goes silent except your own breathing. I tried to spot a turtle (Ketut said sometimes you get lucky), but today it was just schools of tiny blue fish flickering past my hands. Not complaining though. My partner surfaced next to me and said he could taste the salt on his lips for hours afterward.

Lunch was at Topi Inn right on the sand — fried noodles for me, nasi goreng for him. You can ask for vegetarian if you need it; they didn’t even blink when I asked. There’s something about eating with wet hair and bare feet that makes food taste better, you know? Afterward, we drove out to Tibumana Waterfall (the air gets cooler under those trees) and then Kanto Lampo. Both spots had more locals than tourists — kids splashing in their uniforms after school at Kanto Lampo made me laugh. I didn’t expect to end the day damp from waterfall spray instead of seawater.
