Swim with manta rays, snorkel four Nusa Penida sites, enjoy lunch by Mount Agung, and visit Kelingking Cliff on a full-day boat tour.

“Being a novice snorkeler I was a little nervous…there was no need to be! My friends and I had the best time on this tour. Budi and Gede were amazing guides. We were lucky enough to have Budi in our car for the land portion, he was very knowledgeable and so much fun to talk with during the ride. The snorkeling was amazing, every color and size of fish imaginable, two turtles, and manta rays! The food at the lunch spot was great as well. If I could have fit the tour in a second time during my stay, I definitely would have done it again!”
