Dreaming of an Encounter with Majestic Manta Rays? We can make your dream come true with an exciting trip to Nusa Penida! This island, located just off the coast of Bali, is known for its breathtaking beauty, crystal-clear waters, and incredible marine life diversity.

Swim with Majestic Manta Rays. One of the most thrilling snorkeling spots is Manta Bay or Manta Point, where you can encounter giant manta rays. These magnificent creatures, reaching up to five meters in wingspan, frequent these waters in search of coral fish. Swimming with manta rays around Nusa Penida is an unforgettable experience.

Even if you don't spot mantas, the stunning coral gardens and unique marine creatures in Nusa Penida's other snorkeling spots are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Looking for More Adventure? Join us on an unforgettable journey to Sumbawa Island, where you can swim with whale sharks for even more thrilling encounters!

Important Information:

  • Manta Ray Sightings: MyBaliTrips.com does not guarantee manta ray sightings (refer to Section 7.3 of the User Agreement).

  • Weather Adjustments: If Manta Bay conditions are unfavorable, the company may substitute this spot with Crystal Bay or another location for safety.

  • Return Transfer Tips: Due to possible low tides, boarding the boat on the return trip might be from shallow water. Coral shoes are recommended for comfortable boarding and disembarking.
