2.Bali/Amed: Underwater Temple Snorkeling Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 134 reviews · 3 - 12 hours · from $40

Snorkel Bali's Amed underwater temple and WWII Japanese shipwreck. Sea turtles at Turtle Point, Tirta Gangga and Virgin Beach visits.

“Amazing experince! My partner and I were the only two on the boat so although it was tiny - a small, authentic wooden fishing boat - it was perfect. Our guide found the best snorkelling spots and took amazing photos and videos for us. Would definitely recommend adding the GoPro to your booking. Communication and organisation was perfect. The fish - just WOW! The water was so clear and abundant with fish. Only disappointment was viability at the Japanese shipwreck- the water was murky and low visibility so we only snorkelled here for 10mins. Would definitely recommend this trip.”

“Fabry was een erg gezellige en jonge gids! ze heeft ons verteld wat ze wist en probeerde de beste ervaring te maken voor ons. Ze was zeer geïnteresseerd in onze cultuur en stelde veel vragen. Na het bezoeken van de bestemmingen heeft ze ons langs de koffieplantage gebracht en naar een lunchplek. Bij de lunchplek hadden we graag wat meer local gerechtjes gehad, de gerechten waren vrij internationaal. We hadden tijdens de tour graag nog iets meer informatie gekregen over de bezochte plaatsen. Fabry deed ondanks dat haar uiterste best met wat ze wist. De terugrit was erg lang, maar daar hadden we geen problemen mee. Ze maakte ook erg…”

“Kadek was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, took me to many places of interest and as I was the only person on the tour, there was some flexibility in the itinerary. It was a shame about the weather, but there were torrential downpours everyday while I was in Ubud so I had no choice. Definitely pick a day where the weather conditions are more favourable, especially to see the waterfall.”

“Le chauffeur était très gentil et la voiture très confortable. Nous avons commencé par le temple de Besakih j’ai été confié à un guide, le temple était beau mais le moment a été gâché par le guide du temple expéditif sur la visite et qui m’a mis la pression pour que je lui donne de l’argent, c’est le premier balinais désagréable que j’ai rencontré. Ensuite Lempuyang, je dirai inutile, trop de touriste et rien à voir a part les fameuses Heaven Gâtés. Le temple de Tirta ganga en revanche était incroyable beaucoup de touristes mais très beau, les touristes sont tous au même endroit pour LA photo Instagram et le…”
