Manta rays show up without warning, and you're in the water when they do.

A full-day snorkeling trip from Sanur combines four underwater stops around Nusa Penida with a land tour of Kelingking Beach, departing at 7:45am and returning around 4:30pm. The boat holds up to 13 people, and you get free GoPro footage of the day, included lunch at a restaurant with an infinity pool, all snorkeling gear, and a professional guide. Manta ray sightings are not guaranteed, and the itinerary shifts with sea and weather conditions.

The Experience

The boat leaves Sanur at 7:45am and heads straight to Manta Point, where the first snorkel happens in open water. Manta rays drift through depending on conditions, but the spot holds other marine life year-round. After that, you move to SD Point—a coral garden where the water is calmer—then Wall Bay, where a drop-off wall holds schools of fish and hard corals. Three stops in, you're back on the boat heading to lunch on Nusa Penida island at a restaurant with views and an infinity pool where you can rinse off and rest.

The afternoon splits between water and land. A private car takes your group to Kelingking Beach, the iconic cliff formation that photographs from above. You walk around the overlook, then return to the boat for the fourth snorkel at Mangrove Point—a 1km drift snorkel in front of Nusa Lembongan where turtles and corals cluster. The boat brings you back to Sanur by 4:30pm.

All snorkeling equipment comes with you; a professional guide and free diver are on the boat the whole day. The GoPro footage is yours at no extra cost—the operator shoots underwater video and stills throughout. Lunch, towels, drinking water and all taxes are included. A private driver can pick you up at your hotel and drop you back for 150,000 IDR per way, arranged separately.
