Snorkeling Nusa Penida: Private Boat with Turtles & Manta Rays

Swim with turtles and manta rays at four Nusa Penida reefs, then explore Kelingking Cliff on foot.

Private boat snorkeling in Nusa Penida with hotel pickup from your Bali hotel, four snorkeling stops, a guided land tour to Kelingking Cliff and Khamara Beach, and all-inclusive lunch and entrance fees. The boat is yours alone, so you set the pace at each reef and skip the wait for public ferries. An English-speaking guide drives you from your hotel, captains the boat, leads both the water and land portions, and helps frame photos throughout the day.

The experience

How do you get to the best snorkeling in Nusa Penida without renting a car or joining a group ferry? A private pickup from your Bali hotel solves it. Your guide arrives in a ForeverVacation car, drives you to Sanur Port, and then captains a high-speed private boat straight to the island. No waiting for other travelers, no fixed schedule. You leave when you're ready and move between sites at your own pace.

The snorkeling happens at four reefs: Manta Bay, GT Bay, Amok Bay, and Puyung Bay. Turtles, tropical fish and manta rays are the regulars here. After the water, your guide takes you on a private land tour to Kelingking Cliff and Khamara Beach, the two landmarks most visitors come to Nusa Penida to photograph. Your guide knows the angles and will help you get the shots. The whole day runs about ten hours from hotel to hotel.

Everything is included: the boat, the car, snorkeling gear, lunch, entrance fees, bottled water. You don't stop to pay or negotiate anything. The only thing you arrange is what time your guide picks you up.
