Snorkeling trip Nusa Penida Bali - Well-organised, small-group tour with attentive, experienced staff. Definitely worth booking for an emersive experience across different locations with some amazing sealife. Thanks to tour guide David, Bianda, and crew for a memorable experience.. it was a highlight of my trip!

professional run personal service tours - many companies run snorkelling trips but by choosing a dive shop you get much better service = this includes full length wetsuits and a smaller group with experience guide who know water rescue and first aid etc, Well run tour for only a little more money than the many generic tours

Wonderfull and unforgettable! Lot's of manta and turtles!! - It was really wonderfull and unforgettable! And very well organized!! At first we doubted whether we wanted this adventure; we found out on the beach from other companies about a manta-tour. On the beach the prices are cheaper, BUT they don’t take you to “Manta Point”. They bring you twice closer, where manta comes once in 2 months, that’s why these tours are cheap. And BLUE SEASON BALI has it in 90% of cases. As a result, we took a snorkeling tour at Blue Season Bali. Such delight! We were incredibly lucky - huge mantas (2-3 meters in width) swam around us in groups of 2-4 individuals. Some even freeze in a 1 meter from us! Then we went to 2 other snorkeling spots. One contained various fish, including barracudas, napoleons, sarganas. And in another... we met 9 huge sea turtles of different species!! 9 huge different sea turtles in half an hour - such a luck! We were provided with full equipment - a full-body suit, fins and a mask-tube - so the jellyfish were not of a problem for us. Our costumes were pre-selected according to size. And the tour was organized very well - we were picked up from home and returned home. We were on the same ship the whole time and didn’t have to change it. There was a separate snorkeling guide for the two of us (maximum 6 persons per guide, but there were only two of us that day) and his help was simply invaluable! We were also provided with towels, water, soft and hot drinks, cookies and a full lunch. Our guide was very attentive and carefull to us! I definitely recommend it! incredible emotions! PS - the pictures were made by telephone.

Snorkeling with Manta Rays - We booked the snorkeling tour to see the manta rays and 2 other stops as the final highlight of our Indonesia vacation and were not disappointed. We had a very friendly relationship with Maria beforehand and when we got there we were a small group of 3 divers and 4 snorkelers on the boat. The highlight was of course the sighting of 2 manta rays, but the other two stops also had turtles and many other colorful and sometimes quite large fish (damselfish?). We then had a delicious lunch on board and tea and biscuits or fruit in between. We really appreciated the wetsuits we were provided with, as the water is cold with the manta rays. And you should know that the tour is really not suitable for people who are prone to seasickness. My husband didn't really feel well beforehand despite taking tablets. But the experience of snorkeling with manta rays was worth it ;) Many thanks again to Maria and our guide (unfortunately I've forgotten his name) for this really great experience!

A perfect day with Manta Ray - Super organized, mega uncomplicated contact and so of friendly and warm. We're off to the 2. Driven to the Mantapoint, best crew, best guide, great equipment, cool people, great explanations and mega interesting and worth knowing and lots of fun. And there was a delicious lunch. And our highlight.....we were able to watch them, these beautiful and elegant sea giants, Manta Rays.... fantastic. I can only recommend Blue Season Bali♥️ The first time in 2018 and now 2023 just everything tip top. Many thanks to the great boat crew, to Maria for organizing and of course to Zidan, coolest and funniest guide😊 Greetings to everyone 👍🥰

Incredible snorkling trip in Nusa Penida Manta Point/Crystal Bay - I went on a trip to Nusa Penida to the Manta Point "cleaning station" - and it was incredible! The whole thing from meeting at the dive shop to the boat ride to jumping in was very well organized and professional. My guide Kai made me feel completely comfortable. He is very experienced and you could tell he was focused on making my experience as good - and safe - as possible. The day I went was super clear, and quite shocking how close the mantas are to us snorklers! Just a few meters away, and sometimes came so close you had to avoid touching them! We also went to Crystal Bay, which was equally incredible for how much live coral there was, with a chance at seeing the Mola-Mola Sun Fish. Lunch was provided and it was good - a nice variety of food, and then back in for more snorkling. All in all, was top experience and highly recommended.

Great experience with Blue Season Bali! - We recently did the Manta Madness tour at Nusa Penida with Blue Season Bali and loved it. We felt comfortable with our guide who was good fun and there solely to support us during our time in the water, the boat was clean and had a toilet, we were given a delicious lunch, saw manta rays, sunfish, sea turtles, sea snakes and an abundance of fish in the extremely clear water. Overall it was an amazing experience and we would definitely book with Blue Season Bali again. Big thanks to the team.

Beautiful trip without manta rays - The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Everything was taken care of and you didn't have to worry about anything!:) The boat trip to Nusa Penida was very bumpy and not for people with a sensitive stomach. Some in the group unfortunately could not cope and had to spend the diving time due to nausea on board. The trip was very nice, we were snorkeling in three different places only unfortunately we could not get to Manta Point due to the weather conditions. Of course, the attendants can't help it but since we all came here for it it left a slight disappointment :( The first location was okay but unfortunately quite crowded. Every 5 seconds you had the fins of another diver on your face. The second and third locations were great! Crystal clear water, colorful coral reefs and bright fish! We even saw some turtles, which definitely made up for the disappointment with the manta rays :) All in all, it was a very nice experience that I can only recommend to everyone:)
