Your recommendation means the world to us ❤️
We'd love to welcome you back anytime for more safe, fun, and unforgettable moments on the water!

Not good ….. Too many people snorkeling together. We came to see manta not people. It would be better if everyone went at different times.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations due to the number of people snorkeling at the same time. We completely understand your desire to enjoy the beauty of manta rays in a more serene setting.
We also offer snorkeling at Private Boat - just for your group.
The duration and places to visit are the same.
All equipment and underwater photos are included.
You can start at any time.

Worst snorkeling experience we’ve ever had. First of all, they make you carry the snorkeling equipment to and from the boat so they can tell you repeatedly that if you lose it you buy it. Just a way to make money. Then, the boat SUCKS. There is nowhere to sit and most of the “seats” are shaded and are giant holes. There is nowhere to put your stuff. Everyone is packed in, making it hard to take your clothes off and put your snorkeling stuff on. When my life jacket was broken and I asked for a different one, they said “well can’t you swim??” YES, SIR but I’d like to float. Overall awful. Don’t recommend with this company.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I am truly sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience during your trip. While we constantly strive to maintain the highest standards of customer satisfaction, regrettably, on this occasion, we have fallen short of our key objective.I therefore wish to extend to you my sincere apologies.

Great day, beautiful views and very hard working staff. Company needs to be more firm with tourists about respecting wildlife. It’s understandable that the guides need to make a living so do not want to be too firm. It needs to be known DO NOT touch turtles or manta rays. Better to respect nature !

The energy of our guide was amazing!! He was super enthusiastic and knew where to find all the good sights. Snorkel was so cool and we saw everything they'd promised. I'd plan to arrive earlier than the booked time (maybe an hour) and be mindful that the transfers from Sanur often late run. Also I would reconsider going if you get sea sick. Stopped at 4 places and all of them different and absolutely stunning.

This was one of the best experiences in my life. We saw manta Rey, turtles, and beautiful coral and fish. It was surreal. And the guys who led the trip were great. They were always calling out Dolphino to ensure we saw things and to ensure we got back to the boat safely b

There were definitely more than 15 people on the boat and we didn’t have enough space, that wasn’t so comfortable.

Snorkeling in Nusa Penida was a great experience! We saw a lot of different ocean life, both corals, manta rays, turtles and fishes! If I could change something it would be to stay at the different location for a longer period of time! Other than that it was awesome.

It was a good day out on the sea. Unfortunately we didn’t see rays but seen dolphins. 4 snorkelling stops where we had enough time to swim around. Free videos made by the staff. Overall a good experience.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Yes mantas are wild animal.. So can't predict will come or not.. 🙃
Simona_M, Oct 2023
They tried to charge me twice. None knew about my reservation. The excursion was done I a rush since people on board had to get a boat back to Bali and the tour started late. we visit 3 spots instead of 4 and all in big rush. I also didn't feel very safe since boats were arriving in high speed in areas where we were allowed to swim. Safety is not a big concern for them. The stops were done in high rush to conclude the tour. also in the afternoon you get very few change to see different species. The water is very cold, I would suggest a diving suit to enjoy fully, a private tour done ideally very early in the morning and get your own camera if you can
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Dear Simona
You have booked a tour for 9 am and later, due to the fact that you did not have time to arrive, in last minute you wrote us the following:
"Would it be possible to have the tour done this afternoon? "
Therefore, your complaints about the rush during snorkeling would not exist if you arrived on time for the time you booked.
David_M, Sep 2023
Disappointing not seeing any Manta rays
Dolphins turned up for about 1 minute
Snorkeling a few fish to been seen but not very many. Probably would not recommend
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Yes, the wild ocean is not an aquarium 😉
Paulina_M, Sep 2023
Unfortunately we couldn’t see any mantas, which Is totally understandable can happen. However, there was way too many people on the boat, each spot was rushed to jump into the water to chase “ mantas”. People were getting out of control jumping in the water on command “ manta there ! “ jump ! Got hit twice with the fins by random guy who was desperate to spot the animals. Would not recommend. Sorry
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We are sorry for being not fully giving all of your expectations.
Now is hot season - too many people on the boat and each spot
We would like to have another opportunity to serve you again in your next visit to Nusa Penida Island.
Fumitaka_I, Apr 2023
Visited 4 spots with enough time at each. Very friendly staff, affordable price, overall excellent tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thanks a lot for your good review Fumitaka Inoue!
Looking forward to see you again for next adventure and magical experience🐬🐠🏝
Simone_N, Sep 2025
In our booking it stated that the trip would be 2 hours and 30 minutes, but the trip only lasted 1 hour and 50 minutes. We saw no mantas and were only at Manta Point for 15 minutes. Lovely and friendly staff, but generally a disappointing experience when the tour title suggests that there is most focus on mantas and not snorkeling at the other stops.

Tusind tak for din feedback.
Vi er kede af at høre, at oplevelsen ikke helt levede op til dine forventninger. Vi forstår godt skuffelsen, når man håber på at se mantaer – desværre er det noget, vi ikke kan garantere, da de er vilde dyr og nogle gange udebliver.
Beskrivelsen af denne tur angiver, hvor du vil stoppe, og hvor mange stop der er mulige - stop ved tre eller fire steder som Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, Gamat Bay og Wall Bay Point.
Ja, nogle gange kan ikke alle steder besøges - på grund af det åbne hav - når der er store strømme og høje bølger i havet, beslutter kaptajnen, om der skal sejles eller ej - dette vedrører alles sikkerhed.
Hans_V, Oct 2024
Helemaal super kleine groep mensen duidelijke instructies en een paar mooie plekken om te snorkelen.
En we hebben een manta ray gezien dus top reis voor een mooie prijs
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Wat een geweldige recensie - is een geweldige manier om onze operatie te beschrijven, bedankt Van Den Heuvel Hans!

Sylvia_R, Oct 2024
Hoewel we geen mantaroggen hebben gezien was het koraal met alle mooie vissen en een schildpad geweldig om te zien. Begeleiding op de boot was ook eeg goed en zij maakten onder water heel veel leuke foto’s

Expérience magique !
Nager avec les raies est juste incroyable, nous avons eu la chance d’en voir (ce qui n’est pas le cas pour tout le monde)
Équipe au top.
Nous avons aussi vu des tortues et des poissons magnifiques

Schöne Spots zum tauchen, man bekommt alles gestellt und besonders das schwimmen mit den Flossen hat mir super gefallen. Allerdings etwas schlecht organisiert und wenn ein Tier zu sehen ist wird direkt allen Bescheid gesagt damit jeder möglichst nah an das Tier ran kommt. Außerdem fand ich die Gruppe etwas zu groß da wirklich sehr viele Bote an den Punkten sind und man so schnell den Überblick verliert

Estuvo bien aunque muy rápido todo, 20 min en cada sitio, quizás hubiera preferido ir a 3 sitios o 2 y estar más rato.
No vimos mantas ni tortugas pero el personal fue muy amable y atento, y el fondo marino era precioso. Sin duda muy chula
Response from Host, Oct 2023
YES - Sin duda muy chula
Philippe_H, Sep 2023
Bonne organisation, pas de chance, les mantas n’étaient pas au rendez-vous.
À faire tout de même !
Merci
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Oui - dans l'océan, il n'est pas toujours possible de voir des baleines et des dauphins
DOMINIQUE_S, Aug 2023
Sortie pour les plus expérimentés, mer agitée : dès que le guide signale une raie il faut être rapide pour se jeter à l'eau et nager vite car les raies manta nagent très vite sinon pas possible de voir les raies. Sinon pour voir les autres poissons, c'est faisable pour les moins expérimentés et mer plus calme sur les sites suivants
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Yes sometimes is a current in the ocean and there is a rough sea and sometimes you need to quickly jump into the water and swim quickly - because manta rays swim sometime fast - this is a fish 😉
