Once we got to the island we were given flippers and a locker for clothes. we then boarded smaller boats and set off for Penida. 1st snorkeling spot was a little rough but when everyone else was in the water a guide came to me and another lady and said if you hold the ring I will tow you so you can see the Manta rays. It was wonderful. 2nd spot had lots of fish and a guide was feeding them so they came close. 3rd spot I thought I would…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 3 - 8 hours · from $46Top rated

Private snorkeling by boat around Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air with an English guide, turtles, reef stops, and optional GoPro.

“It was my husband’s first time snorkeling, and our guide went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable the entire time. He stayed close by, offering constant support and reassurance. He also took us to some of the best spots and made sure we captured amazing footage while snorkeling and diving. Truly a fantastic experience, thanks to his attentiveness and expertise! The only downside was that we booked the 3-island tour, which is IDR 100K more expensive than the 3-spot snorkeling tour, but we didn’t get to visit Gili Air as expected. It seems most tours don’t actually take you to Gili Air, so I would recommend others…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 10 hours · from $80

East Bali Amed snorkeling day trip from Sanur. Jukung boat, reef fish, and Indonesian lunch. Small group, hotel pickup, about 10 hours.

“Let me warn you: before you can enjoy snorkeling you will experience a very long drive. First they pick you up at your hotel in an old worn out bus without safety belts in the back and drive you to Bali Diving headquarter. There you have to check in first and sign some papers. Then they re-group and off you go in another bad old bus without safety belts and bad AC. The drive to Amed last 2.5 hours (one way). After snorkeling they drive you back to headquarter first and then to your hotel. So, we've spent 7h in the car and 3h with snorkeling and in the restaurant.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 7 reviews · from $18Best value

Snorkel three Nusa Penida bays from Bali, with manta-ray chances at Manta Bay, clear-water reefs, and guided safety plus underwater photos.

“Sadly it wasn’t well organized. We arrived 30 minutes before our starting time like it said to do but we had to wait an hour and half just to be brought to a boat. No groups were following each other it was a bit you go when you think it’s you. For the mangrove tour, I’m pretty sure I got fooled… the lady that took us kept ramming us into branches and didn’t take the same path as everyone else and turned around at half way point and when she passed her coworkers they were laughing in another language. Made us feel pretty small and uncomfortable. The activity finished at…”
