Nusa Lembongan Catamaran Cruise: Breakfast, Snorkel & Dolphins
Snorkel two islands and eat on the water, all before noon
A half-day catamaran cruise around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida with breakfast and lunch buffets, snorkeling gear, and a live English-speaking guide. The boat holds 20 people maximum, which keeps the pace unhurried and the reefs less crowded. You swim at multiple snorkeling spots, watch for sea turtles and dolphins, and spend downtime on paddleboards or floating beanbags between meals.
The Experience
The boat leaves early, which is the whole point. You board in the morning, eat breakfast on deck while the catamaran motors toward the first reef, and start snorkeling before the day gets hot or the site gets busy. The itinerary moves between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, hitting multiple snorkeling spots where the water stays clear and the coral is still intact. Gear is premium—mask, fins, wetsuit—and included, so you show up with nothing but a swimsuit. A safety guide briefs the group before each entry and stays in the water with you.
Between snorkeling sessions, you're back on the catamaran eating. Breakfast comes first, then a full lunch buffet as you drift past the islands. The menu is international, not local, and snacks and drinking water flow throughout the five hours. If you're not in the water, you can paddleboard off the back, float on a beanbag, or just sit and watch the limestone cliffs of Nusa Penida rise from the sea. The boat itself is cozy and stable—not a speedboat, not a party raft—so families and beginners don't feel rushed or out of place.
Go Pro photos and videos are shot during the day and available to download, so you have proof of the turtles and the reef, not just your memory of them. The group maxes out at 20 people, which means the crew knows your name and the snorkeling spots don't turn into a scrum. You're back on land by early afternoon, which leaves the rest of the day open.

What snorkeling spots does the catamaran visit?
The cruise stops at multiple reefs around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida where sea turtles and dolphins are often spotted. The exact sites depend on conditions and marine life activity that day, so the guide chooses the best water on the morning.
Is the snorkeling gear good quality, or do I need to bring my own?
Premium snorkeling gear—mask, fins and wetsuit—is included and provided on the boat. You don't need to bring anything except a swimsuit and a towel.
How much time do I spend actually snorkeling versus on the boat eating?
The cruise is five hours total. You snorkel at multiple spots throughout the morning, with breakfast early on and lunch in between sessions. The exact split depends on conditions and how long the group wants to stay at each reef.
Can I bring my kids on this cruise?
Yes. The cruise is designed for families and beginner snorkelers. The pace is slow, the boat is stable, and the guide stays with the group in the water. Children should be comfortable in the ocean and able to wear a snorkel mask.
What happens if the weather is bad or the sea is rough?
The catamaran operates in the morning when conditions are typically calmer. If weather makes it unsafe to go out, the operator will reschedule you for another date or offer a refund.
Does the price include photos, or do I have to pay extra for the Go Pro footage?
Go Pro photos and videos shot during the cruise are included. You download them after the trip at no extra cost.
