Snorkeling with Manta Rays in Nusa LembonganSnorkeling in Nusa Lembongan with a guide covers three spots — Manta Bay, Toya Pakeh Wall and Mangrove Point — where manta rays, turtles, scorpion fish and nudibranchs live on the reef. The trip runs around 3 hours with hotel pickup and drop-off on Lembongan Island, morning departures at 07:45 or 10:15, and all snorkeling equipment provided. Manta sightings at Manta Bay depend on the season and conditions; when weather closes that site, the guide switches to Gamat Bay or Toya Pakeh instead.Is it for me?Book the early 07:45 departure if you want the best light for photography and the calmest water before the afternoon swell picks up. If you're staying on Nusa Ceningan or arriving by ferry, the 10:15 departure with Yellow Bridge pickup removes the need to find your way to Jungut Batu Port.
