Where we are
Our boats leave from Banjar Nyuh Harbour on the north coast of Nusa Penida, 45 minutes by fast boat from Sanur. We are not a desk in Kuta. The person who answers your WhatsApp message is the person who hands you your fins.

About us
A local crew, not a booking platform.
Manta Snorkeling Penida is operated by PT KAY FAMILY GROUP BALI, a licensed Indonesian tour company based at Banjar Nyuh Harbour, Ped, Nusa Penida. The guides and captains grew up on these reefs. When you book with us, you are booking with the people who will actually be on the boat with you — not a call centre reselling someone else's seat.

What we run
Shared boats to Manta Bay and Manta Point every morning, private charters for groups who want the boat to themselves, and a full-day tour that pairs the fast boat crossing with the west-coast viewpoints. We do not resell other operators' seats.
How we work around the animals
We follow the Nusa Penida manta interaction code: no touching, no chasing, no blocking an animal's path, and no dropping a group on top of one. A good encounter is one where the manta chooses to stay — we would rather give you one long, calm sighting than five rushed ones.
Safety, plainly
Life jackets are compulsory for every guest on every trip. All snorkeling is done from the surface with a guide in the water. Trips only run when the harbour master clears the sea. Non-swimmers are welcome and get a dedicated guide beside them.
