Review of Nusa Penida’s full-day boat, four-snorkel, manta ray, and Kelingking tour, with honest advice on price, safety, timing, and value.

“We did this tour and had an absolute blast. The experience was phenomenal. We got to see manta rays, turtles and more. Our guides Fernando and Coral took fantastic care of us. I had never snorkled before and I had no problems. I did get a little sea sick as I wasn't used to the water. That was no problem for them, they came over and took care of us immediately and got us up and running again. If you get Fernando and Coral as your guides, you are in for an experience you will remember for your lifetime.”

We did the Aquanauts under water experience and it was a highlight of our trip. Next time we would like to do the scuba diving. Lunch was much better than expected. We initially thought the tour was going to be very crowded however most of the passengers were on another tour and were not on the pontoon - phew!
