Itinerary
Gamat Bay is an amazing Nusa Penida snorkeling site, home to thousands of fish and underwater critters that have made a home for themselves amongst vibrant and colourful coral. From above the surface, the bay looks like any beach in Bali, but below the surface, it truly comes alive. If you’re interested in snorkeling in Nusa Penida, this amazing Bay is the place to do it. There is a diverse group of corals and coral mounds, almost all area of seabed from sandy Gamat Bay.
For the manta rays in Manta Bay Nusa Penida Bali, it is a type of Coral Manta (Manta Alfredi). This type of manta is the second largest type of manta rays after the Oceanic Manta. Although it has a long tail, it is not poisonous, so swimming with manta rays is very safe. In addition to having a long tail, this manta ray has the largest brain when compared to other bony fish. They are very happy to interact with humans, therefore Manta Bay Snorkeling Nusa Penida is the best choice for snorkelers and divers to capture the best experience with these Mantas.
Crystal Bay is, together with Gamat Bay, one of the best sites to go snorkeling in Nusa Penida. Discover the coral and marine life of this beautiful spot, you can see turtles quite regularly, as well as a lot of different fish and very colorful coral. This site can get very crowded during mola-mola ocean sunfish season (July-October). While it is a great snorkeling site to spot mola-molas, there are plenty of other sites around Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. Where the chance to meet the exclusive fish is just as good and where the smaller number of snorkeler and boats makes the experience a lot nicer.
In Kelingking Beach you can enjoy the sweeping views from a purpose-built platform, which is bordered by bamboo fences. If you dare the challenging trek down to the beach, make sure it’s during low tide. Some sections of the path can be steep, requiring a bit of rock climbing, especially on the way back up. Locals have put rocks and bamboos to aid visitors over the years. Once you’ve reached the sand, you’ll have it all to yourself most of the time. Depending on tide conditions, the waters are swimmable.
Broken Beach or Pasih Uug spot is marked by a hilly arch-like rock formation, which is the distinguishable landmark of the area. Set over the crashing waves of the open Indian Ocean, Broken Beach is a great spot for travel photographers and panoramic view seekers. The adjacent area is also home to grey long-tailed macaques. If you’re lucky, you may spot silhouettes of giant mantas near the surface of the deep blue water.
Angel's Billabong located nearby Pasih Uug (Broken Beach), another popular site with unique limestone formations. The naturally formed rock lagoon offers a scenic seascape. You can descend into its crystal-clear rock pools for a swim or a soak, but only during low tide. The rock pools are one of the must-sees for visitors to Nusa Penida. The island itself is famous for its beautiful cliffs and pristine coastlines. Both Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach are very popular sites here.

Great driver in budi, got to see some manta rays which was really cool and nice to explore penida island
Our guide has made the whole trip easy and enjoyable with his expertise ⭐️ .Has helped us to choose the perfect spot for our photography and also by taking some beautiful pictures.
An awesome day tour brilliantly organised. Reasonable price compared to others. Quick booking and no dramas. Our driver Budi provided commute to and from the hotel. He was lovely, energetic and compliant with any requests. In Nusa Penida we met ‘Uncle Budi’ who took good care of us. Being born and bred in Nusa Penida he knew all the places really well including great picturesque spots. Cheers guys! Great job!
It was a really great experience!
Great experience! Good combination snorkeling in the morning/beach visiting in the afternoon! Very well organized too.
Had an amazing day exploring Nusa Penida Island and snorkeling at the beautiful bays. Everything ran smoothly — we were picked up early to beat the traffic and dropped back at our hotel after the tour. Our guide, Buddy, was fantastic — friendly, organised, and made sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bali!

Has to be the most up front, honest and best driver i have experienced here in Bali .. We will use again when here next , thank you 😊
Budi was super reliable, friendly and a safe driver. He was very punctual and knows the area well. I can fully recommend him!
The whole thing is very well organised and the staff are so lovely. It’s obviously not guaranteed that you will see Manta Rays as they are wild animals so it’s the risk you take when you book the tour. Overall, as we didn’t see Manta Rays i probably wouldn’t say it’s worth the price. The snorkelling stops also feel quite rushed but they do take some cool pictures of you underwater. The food stop was also a bit disappointing, i got served cold, stale noodles which I had to get my boyfriend to eat. The land tour stops are impressive but be prepared for long journeys in the car and extremely bumpy roads. The stops are also extremely busy with other tourists but they’re beautiful and you can still get some nice pictures. Maybe avoid if you’re on a tight budget as it can feel like a slight waste of money if you don’t swim with the Manta Rays. The whole experience was very smooth and well planned, a credit to the staff you will encounter.
My family and I had an amazing experience with Bali Sky Tours for snorkeling, lunch and beach views. All of the staff from the drivers to snorkel guides were very helpful. Our main driver Budi on Nusa Penida was especially, with his great English, good conversation skills and knowledge of Bali and Nusa Penida. We highly recommend this tour group and will be telling our friends and family.
The experience was amazing, would definitely recommend to everyone. Our tour guides and drivers were so sweet and fun, Budi and Alex especially were great! Snorkelling was lots of fun and very nice to go to different spots. The views of the beaches and cliffs were amazing too. 10/10 loved the experience.
Wonderful experience. Weather was stormy, but the tour was handled really well. Driver was prompt with pickup and return.
Well organised. Excellent and friendly drivers. Everyone was on time and got us where we needed to go. Snorkelling was amazing although weather wasn’t so great…but that’s no one’s fault.
Robert led a great tour! Such an awesome experience and time, especially after doing the snorkeling, I couldn’t recommend this enough!
Was a great day spent with great people. The driver showed us around the island and mad our day! Would definitely want the Budi to show us around. Thank you❤️
Had a awesome time exploring the island and Budi is a legend taking me around to all the good spots would highly recommend.
The waves were very high, so this limited the snorkeling sites they could safely take us to. Fair enough. But while I was getting off the boat onto the beach the staff member let go of me. I was tumbled in the waves with my bag, grazing my foot, leg and arm on the ropes and chunks of coral in the sand. No help and no apology. The tour included lunch with the bonus of an open septic pit next to the restaurant entrance. The toilet door had to be held shut by other women waiting to prevent the doors swinging open. The food matched the restaurant. The air conditioned car had no air conditioning on this very hot day. I am not sure that the air conditioning wasn't just a new issue that day though. Our guide was very nice and we enjoyed his part of the tour.
I can't fault the drivers...Alex (in Nusa Penida - which trust me in this spot..you want a great driver and he was!) and Komang (on the main island side). The snorkelling was stunning..the corals are still full of colour and yes, we saw a Manta Ray and a huge pod of dolphins (both magical and worth the trip). Those not use to a quick snorkelling trip might be a little put off as it's a jump in, look quick, get out and on to the nest destination kinda trip. If you really want photos for the 'gram you can't go past this place...but that's also the downfall...if you simlpy want a nice photo, then you will be battling against scenery 'gram hogs who clearly don't recognise that some people just want a simple snap for personal consumption. You need to be fit enough for the walking/climbing up and down the stairs and steep hills and make sure you have either plenty of water or plenty of money to keep purchasing water at each location and a great hat to shade you from the direct sun. The lunch place had great food however the toilet is a traditional toilet which some people might struggle with...but you are on a remote island, so it's expected. The roads are very narrow and super bumpy with major holes everywhere that Alex had to expertly navigate. If you are prone to car sickness or headaches, this is not the trip for you. Also, if you are prone to sea sickness...the water here is choppy and has some major currents...there were people getting sick left right and center on each crowded boat that we saw....so if you are, just take some precautions.
Don’t expect a smooth sea with no other snorkellers, the trip to the island was smooth but the boat to the snorkeling was gut wrenching. My wife sadly barfed 4 times. Even at the snorkeling area the waves were huge. Don’t expect to see manta or turtles because all the other’s boats will scare them away
Had an amazing experience. Transport was well organised. My driver Komang was so friendly and always on time. Made sure everything was organised so we were well equipped. The snorkeling was amazing lucky to see four big manta rays and two turtles. Budi was amazing at taking us to scenery views and put so much effort in taking memorable videos and photos of us. Thanks for the experience will book again!
Budi was a great guide! He took care of us the whole time taking us to all the sites as well as making sure all our excursions were in order. He also helped take many pictures for us! Very smooth trip despite the broken roads!
This is my second trip with Bali Sky Tour, thanks god i saw the Manta Ray in nusa penida island, nice currect and colorfull fish. After lunch they take is to the most popular Kelingking Beach and others Arrive at 06.30 PM they sent us our snorkeling photo and we really recomended this tour agency.
A VERY long day. A taxi to the port then a 45 minute boat ride to the island. Snorkelling was quite repetitive and no sign of any manta rays despite being told there was a 90% chance of seeing them. There were too many boats and people doing the same thing. After a shower in a very basic area we set off for lunch - set menu - then to see the sights of the island. What amazing scenery but incredibly hot and difficult terrain to walk on - flip flops are not appropriate! Guide was helpful, friendly and there to take photos. The road to the locations were full of potholes - you will NEVER complain about English roads again! Back to the port, boat then taxi to the hotel … not a trip I would want to do again!
Really good tour snorkelling was great and budi our driver on the island was an excellent driver with great English highly recommended
Great snorkeling experience and our drivers Budi and Alex were both great! Pickup was seamless from our hotel and back. Thank you for a great day!
Amazing experience! Budi picked us up from our villa, he was on time and very helpful! Then we got to Nusa Penida and the staff there were friendly and helped explain everything. When snorkelling, the team made sure everyone was safe in the water. Saw lots of beautiful fish and corals! It was great and we’ll definitely do it again!
Uncle Budi was the best! Very kind person and was able to show us amazing views across the island. Very glad I got paired with Budi as he made the trip special
Drivers are amazing and nice, and other experience is beyond my expectation. So much appreciated for the tourism agency and especially drivers (Gudi & Padi)
Gudi and Budi were fantastic guides. Thank you so much for doing your best for us to have a safe and enjoyable journey. All experiences and scenary are unforgettable!
Second time with sky tour. An incredible journey snorkling. An amzing experience thanks to all the people who made it possible.
Had a pleasant time with Uncle Budi driving around Nusa Penida, seeing beaches and lunch. He was very kind, accommodating and could tell he wanted to make sure I had a good time. Got me from the boat and returned me to the boat as well. Snorkeling was good, water is a bit cold but once you start swimming it's fine. You warm up quickly once you're out of the water.
What a day!!! Packed with adventure and adrenaline and ending with breathtaking views! Made Sudaya , our tour guide, was very easygoing and fun. He is also a very creative photo and videographer!!! So if you want nice shots for your instagram or simply capturing the memories, he is your guy.
Didn't get to see any Mantas in Manta Bay, and the currents were very strong. The island tour afterwards was fantastic with some very beautiful spots visited.
Amazing snorkeling activity in Nusa Penida Island and we are lucky we see Manta Ray, the colorful fish and current. Our guide uncle budi was informative to give uus exciting journey after the snorkeling on the island Very recomended tour is Bali
This is listed as a snorkelling tour. It is NOT. Listed as 30 minutes each spot of 4. I really booked for the snorkelling but shattered. You will have maximum of 10 minutes water time at each location. I wanted to see Manta Ray's so booked this tour thinking there is time. Whilst I was lucky enough to see one in the allowed 10 minutes you need to be lucky. First location for coral, fish is not worth it. Others good but you'd better be quick before you'e orded back to the boat. I have to note there are boats anf people everywhere at each sits so its very crowded. One small water offered so take your own. Tour of island was good but not what I was looking forward too. Book any snorkelling privately
Had a great day snorkelling with the family and the drivers are amazing would definitely recommend our drivers name was budi and on the island we had uncle budi
We had the perfect day - it started great with our driver Agung picking us up in time. The car was great and he explained everything to us about our trip in the car. We came to the harbour and everything went very smoothly. In Nusa Penida our driver Gede picked us up and guided us to the snorkeling company. While snorkeling we saw turtles, manta rays and even dolphins, it was perfect. Back in Bali Agung was already waiting for us to drive us back to our villa. All in all it was one of the greatest days we had during our stay - even lunch was included. So we totally recommend booking a trip with them. Terima kasih!!!
Had the best time, all went super smoothly from hotel pick up and drop-off by their driver Budi to the local island guide Tomang (I hope I got that name right ) Happy to recommend this company
The trip started with an early pick up. Agung, the driver, was already waiting so that’s a big plus. On our way to the boat he gave us all the information we needed. Then he walked with us to the check in port for the speedboat. Arriving on Nusa Penida, Robert was waiting for us. He would be our driver on Nusa Penida. He escorted us to the snorkeling company where we registered and continued snorkeling. After the snorkeling Robert took us to a nice restaurant for lunch (price included in total trip price). We then continued to see the highlights of Nusa Penida where Robert provided us with lots of laughter and overall a very chill vibe. Once arriving back at Sanur Harbour, Agung was waiting to drop us off at our hostel. Whereas one could probably do this cheaper arranging this by yourself, having taken things out of our hands gave us a worry free day. For us it was therefore worth it to visit Nusa Penida during this one day trip through Bali Sky Tour!
The tour was really fun! It’s easy for a tourist because the guides are excellent supervisors. Agung brought us from Canggu to Sanur. It was an easy ride. Agung gave us all the information about the tour and had some useful tips! When we arrived at Nusa Penida, Robert picked us up and arranged the tickets for the snorkeling tour. After snorkeling, Robert brought us to several look out points. He was fun to talk to and makes good pictures! 😉 I would really recommend this tour. We had a wonderful day.
Good recommendation for activity when staying in Bali. We enjoyed it a lot, saw mantha ray when snokling and also from land. When we were on land we got plenty of time to explore each site. Great thanks to our driver Agung, he was really helpful and giving us lots of good recommendations on activities and places to visit
Terrible, the promised 2 hour tour was one hour. At the manta spot we had 5 minutes, the other 7 minutes. From harbour to harbour at snorkeling was 9.00 to 10.30 and not 12.00. In the restaurant you only get ice tea, water of Coffee / tea or pay more. The Food was really bad, cold, and not good. At the diamond spot our guide ask us to stand somewhere so he could make a picture, but we were not allowed to stand there, so people got mad at us. After that we had enough en ask to go home. Not worth the money and e-mail the company won’t help you.
Had an awesome time, saw Manta Rays and other nice fish and coral. Pickup & Dropoff excellent too. I recommend if you can to sit on the upper deck of the transit boat. Thank you very much, good price as well!
Our tour was exceptional to say the least. Agung our driver to and from the harbor. was very punctual and very informative. He provided us with clear details of what to expect and what to do. Budi our guide on the island was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to ensure we were having a great experience and gave us some background knowledge on the locations we visited. He’s very patient and took some of the most amazing photos and videos we captured on our trip. A big thank you to these guys. I will def be booking again when I return.
It was a lovely day trip! Me and my dad had a lot of fun! All of the guides were very kind also! Super recommend this activity!!!
Buddy/Budi, was punctual, attentive, and made sure all our needs were met, he’s a great guy and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to travel around Penida :) thankyou for a good day
Thank you Komang, our driver between Nusa Dua and Senur. Very accommodating and punctual and excellent communication.
We (Josh & Zana) went on the Manta Ray Guided tour. Agung was such a good driver, he picked us up promptly and explained everything that was set for the day, making sure we knew where to go. Alex was amazing as our island guide, he took us to every photo potential spot, took us for lunch and even made sure the music to our liking. Alex got us onto our boat just in time and with the help of Agung everything ran smoothly to get us home. The snorkeling was so amazing, the waves were very choppy so we could not go to the Manta Ray spot but our boat guide still made sure we had a good time seeing dolphins, a whale and seeing all the beautiful coral and fish. We will definitely be back again and we will be requesting Agung and Alex!! They really made the trip fantastic 🙌🌊🙏 THANK YOU! Josh & Zana from New Zealand.
