Une expérience magique du début à la fin ! Le chauffeur nous attendait déjà à l’hôtel et toute l’équipe nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de sourires. Grâce à notre guide, ma fille a réalisé l’un de ses rêves : nager avec une tortue de mer à Blue Lagoon. Un souvenir inoubliable pour toute la famille ! Merci à toute l’équipe, que nous recommandons les yeux fermés❤️

We had an amazing day with Bali Snorkeling! Our tour included a private car to visit the three iconic west Nusa Penida attractions, followed by lunch and snorkeling at three different spots. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see manta this time, but we still saw plenty of beautiful fish and coral. The itinerary was very well organized. After lunch, we had enough time to rest and get ready before heading out for snorkeling. We also felt very safe during the snorkeling trip. The guide was friendly and professional. Water was offered on the boat, which we really appreciated. Our driver was also excellent. He was friendly and drove very safely. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend Bali Snorkeling to anyone visiting Nusa Penida!

From hotel pick-up to drop-off, our experience with Bali Snorkeling was great. The transfer drivers were friendly and ensured that you linked up to where you needed to go. The snorkelling boat was not crowded and the guide was friendly and made sure we got to se the best of the three spots we went to. We were lucky to see multiple turtles and Manta rays. Lunch at the resort was very good, and was even better with the pool and showers to finish off.

We had a fantastic day trip out to Nusa Penida with Bali snorkelling. From the moment the driver picked us up from our hotel, arranged the fast boat tickets for us without us having to queue up and took us to the boat. Then the guys from Bali snorkelling met us as we arrived on the island and took us to their boat for the most amazing snorkelling trip. They were very attentive whilst in the water ensuring that we stayed close to them and were safe at all times. At one of the stops they determined that the currents were too strong and after checking with us that we were happy, moved onto a different area. This was one of the reasons that we chose this company because we had read that they put safety above all else and this was really reassuring to see As we are not experienced snook Ellis. After the snorkelling trip we spent an hour or so at a lovely beach club where lunch was included and then back on the fast boat home. Whilst not guaranteed, we were really lucky to have an encounter with a Manta Ray at Manta Bay Which was the most incredible experience And they also captured some great underwater video footage for us which was shared after the trip and something we could never have done ourselves.

Amazing snorkeling tour in Bali — the clear water, tons of tropical fish, super well organized and personalised. Our private driver Ray was great so friendly and knew all the best spots along the way. Highly recommend.

Amir Yazdi

From the start the driver was amazing and getting there it was beautiful, everyone was so friendly and accommodating, having all equipment we needed in many sizes. The guide was sweet and showed us all the best places reef wise. The reef was breathtaking and many fishes swimming right next to you. Both spots were perfect and the boat ride was amazing. Driving us back to our villa, would recommend first timers to definitely try this out it’s worth every penny and even give you lunch!

We really appreciated and enjoyed their low key and family style operation. The whole package was well worth it. Felt like the real Bali. I will always recommend them to others who want to have an enjoyable and safe snorkeling. They had a great location to see many varieties of sea life.
