This was hands down one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Sanur (worth noting there’s a small extra charge), everything felt seamless and well organised. We were taken to the main office where we could relax, enjoy breakfast, and get a clear, professional briefing on what to expect for the day. The highlight without question was snorkelling with the manta rays. Seeing these huge, graceful creatures glide right up to you is surreal. At times they were so close it felt like they could brush past your legs. Absolutely unforgettable. A strong tip though: TAKE SEASICKNESS TABLETS (offered at the morning briefing). The boat itself is excellent, but the conditions can be rough, and a few people did experience mild seasickness. That said, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. As if that wasn’t enough, we also snorkelled with sea turtles, easily 5 or 6 of them, and even had a baby turtle pop up for air right in the middle of our group. Moments like that are rare and genuinely special. Lunch on Nusa Penida was fantastic. The restaurant exceeded expectations, and it was a great chance to recharge. Getting there, however, is an adventure in itself. The roads are extremely rough with deep potholes and very raw terrain so be prepared for a bumpy ride. Thankfully, the vehicles were comfortable and air-conditioned, which made a big difference. What really elevated the whole experience was the crew. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about making the day memorable. A special mention to Kadek, Oneil, and the team for the incredible photography, they captured moments we’ll treasure for life. Overall, this tour delivers on every level. It’s adventurous, well-run, and packed with once-in-a-lifetime moments. If you’re considering it just book it. You won’t regret it.

Excellent tour with Endo Compass. We arranged transport from our hotel to the meeting location for the start of the tour. The communication was great before the tour when I had some questions with pickup. Our day was amazing! Ariel and Chill were awesome tour guides on land and in the sea. They made sure everyone was safe and secure at each location we went. We were lucky enough to see several mantas and Ariel had some great shots and video on his go pro which he sends to you after the tour. The coral reef snorkeling spots we went to, were all so so good. Coral for as far as the eye could see. Very impressive reefs. Then we had a tasty scenic lunch overlooking the sea and island. With a pool to swim in as well. We then did a lookout point which was very beautiful. Afterwards we did one last snorkel spot with the opportunity to see turtles and drift snorkel. We had a 6 year old who didn’t do all the snorkeling, but stayed on the boat sometimes. The captain and his mate took great care of him and they went fishing off the boat and he was excited to have caught a fish! This was the highlight of our trip to Bali. The whole family loved it! Two thumbs up to Ariel, Chill, captain, crew and Endo compass!

Our driver was wonderful! He drove us around and gave us history of their religion and showed us the sights we wanted to see. He was prompt for pick up at cruise port and at each location he dropped us off . He was friendly and drove amazing through the crazy traffic! We saw and did a lot in 8 hours!
