The boats

Every trip, with its real price

5 snorkeling trips from Banjar Nyuh Harbour on Nusa Penida, Bali, from IDR 200,000 per person. Shared boats carry up to 12 guests; a private charter carries your group only and leaves when you want it to. The full day tour includes the fast boat crossing from Sanur. Hotel transfer in Bali is optional on every trip and charged per car, not per person.

Manta Point Snorkeling

Manta Point is the cleaning station on the exposed south coast, where mantas hover over the reef to be cleaned by wrasse. Because the animals are holding position rather than passing through, encounters here last longer than at Manta Bay.

Manta Bay Snorkeling

The classic morning trip. Manta Bay is the sheltered north-west feeding ground, so it stays workable when the south coast is rough — which is why it is the trip we put first-timers and families on.

Private Manta Point Snorkeling

The south coast cleaning station with the boat to yourselves. Three hours gives the crew room to wait out a passing set and come back for a second drop — the thing a shared boat on a timetable cannot do.

Private Manta Bay Snorkeling

The same two-hour route as the shared Manta Bay trip, with the boat carrying nobody but your group. What you are buying is control: the departure time, how long you stay at each site, and who is in the water with you.

West Nusa Penida Full Day + Manta Bay

One day, both halves of Nusa Penida: the water and the cliffs. The fast boat from Sanur gets you across in about 45 minutes, the boat takes you out to Manta Bay while the light is still good, and a car and driver cover the west coast after.
