You can add a private transfer from your hotel or villa in Bali to the port and back for the following areas: Uluwatu, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Ubud Centre. The cost of a private transfer is Rp 600,000 / auto.
For remote areas, the price should be confirmed with the manager online.
If you booked a private transfer, please note that the transfer is provided by an external service provider, and the driver will meet you strictly at the time specified in the tour program.
If you plan to return earlier, please contact the driver in advance — their contact details are available in your personal account. If the driver is available, they will do their best to arrive earlier. However, in some cases, the pickup can only take place at the scheduled time — in this case, we kindly ask you to wait.
While waiting, you can take shelter from the sun or rain and purchase refreshments inside the port building.
If you decide to leave самостоятельно and not wait for the driver, please note that compensation for the unused transfer or reimbursement for a taxi arranged independently is not provided.
There is an option to descend to Kelingking Beach during this tour; however, if descending and ascending take more than 2 hours, you may not have time to visit other locations or may need to extend your driver’s rental on-site.
Swimming at Diamond Beach / Kelingking Beach is prohibited and life-threatening due to the lack of facilities and strong waves.
If you arrive at the port much earlier than the boat's departure time, we recommend enjoying a cup of coffee at "Maruti Beach Club" located 100 meters from the port while waiting comfortably.
Upon arrival on Nusa Penida Island, an entry fee of Rp 25,000 / person must be paid.
Meals in restaurants and warungs are paid separately.
The snorkeling program may be changed or postponed to another day depending on ocean conditions; any decision regarding changes or postponements is made by the hotel staff.
"MyBaliTrips" is not responsible for manta sightings during snorkeling (see clause 7.3 of user agreement).
Indonesian drivers may not always speak English; sometimes you'll need to take initiative to show them directions from parking to attractions.
On return trip, due to strong low tide on Nusa Penida Island, boarding may occur from shallow waters instead of from a pier. We recommend bringing coral slippers for comfortable boarding or disembarking.
Excellent 2 days on Nusa Penida! Convenient speedboat, a good car with a personal driver who took us to all the locations and took great photos. The hotel is wonderful, with panoramic views of the ocean and Mount Agung. The next day, we were picked up by a personal transfer and taken snorkeling. We saw huge mantas, sea turtles, and many beautiful fish and corals. Unforgettable two days! Thank you, MyBaliTrips
Overall, we liked everything, the guide explains more or less normally in English and helps with photos. The only note, instead of Cristal Bay, the guide took us to Tembeling Beach. And the restaurant he recommended was not of the highest quality.
Overall, I am very satisfied, except for one thing - the driver left me near the snorkeling spot and drove off, asking a colleague to take me to the boat later. The problem was that I needed to return to the hotel, and that's where the issues started - the driver wasn't responding and I wasn't sure if I would have a transfer. In the end, everything got resolved, not without your assistance, thank you. But some negativity remains.
The private tour turned out great, there were 5 of us. Unfortunately, we couldn't see mantas, but we saw a lot of other beauty. Overall everything was great, the manager on WhatsApp responded quickly and to all questions. We stayed at a hotel with a view on the island with a very cool pool. The driver-guide was a very cool guy with a comfortable car
