Nusa Penida is one of the world's finest destinations for snorkeling with giant manta rays. In its crystal-clear waters, where visibility is often exceptional, you may encounter several of these graceful ocean giants gliding effortlessly above vibrant coral reefs. Along the way, you will also discover colorful coral gardens, countless tropical fish, and an underwater world that makes every snorkeling trip a unique experience.
Depending on the program you choose, you will visit two or three of the island's best snorkeling sites, including Manta Bay or Manta Point, Gamat Bay, and SD Point. The itinerary that includes Manta Point offers the best chance of encountering these magnificent rays. Clear turquoise waters, thriving coral reefs, and one of the most spectacular snorkeling routes near Bali promise an unforgettable experience.
Choose the option that best suits your travel plans. If you are staying in Bali, you can book a package that includes round-trip hotel transfers, fast boat tickets, and everything you need for a comfortable trip to Nusa Penida. If you are already on the island, simply choose the snorkeling-only program and join the group directly at the meeting point.
At the scheduled time, you will need to make your own way to the meeting point of Nusa Penida Divers. Upon arrival, you will be provided with all necessary snorkeling equipment, including a mask, snorkel, and fins in the appropriate size. Secure individual lockers will also be available for storing personal and valuable belongings.
Snorkeling: You will explore three stunning snorkeling spots — Manta bay, Gamat bay, SD Point. These are ideal locations for observing rich marine life and vibrant coral gardens. An experienced guide will accompany you throughout the tour, ensuring your safety. If needed, the guide will assist you back to the boat or offer tips on swimming technique.

Thank you very much for the precise organization and quick responses. Everything went great. They changed the time for us at our request, which helped us a lot. The trip itself was wonderful. Everything was on schedule. We saw mantas. We swam everywhere.
Thank you for the good organization. It's worth taking only a private tour to see the manta rays. We went on a group tour with local drivers, and it was crowded; we saw them for literally 10 minutes with a quick glance, and that was it. Everything was rushed. It was very frightening due to the strong current, and I constantly panicked. A lot of effort and time was spent looking for the manta rays, and in the end, we didn't really get to see them well, although they were there. We went a second time, opting for a private tour with MyBaliTrip, and it was incredible. The fast boat was great, with no crowding. The young guide was always nearby, and I felt safer. He quickly found the manta rays, which saved us energy, as a lot of effort goes into fighting the current. I swam swiftly behind the guide, took great shots, and got to admire these wonderful creatures at leisure. At the second spot, there were the most beautiful fish in large numbers and not a single boat in sight, we got some great shots. I recommend bringing bread with you to lure the fish and make amazing videos.
Liked everything, the boat we sailed on was quite comfortable. Saw manta rays. The only downside is that there are too many tourists swimming in the water with masks. We really regretted not choosing diving instead of snorkeling.
Organized, saw mantas, but it seemed that we swam a little, we were not taken to Gamet Bay due to strong currents and waves
