Our driver Gede arrived early and was happy for us to still have a quick breakfast before heading off to Sanur. Once we got there a clear plan was made for Gede to collect us after our snorkeling experience. The boat transfer was easy and well organised. The 3 spots we went to were nothing short of amazing where we got to experience swimming with Manta Ray's, beautiful tropical fish and even a sea turtle ! A lovely lunch and cold drink ( Bintang available) was served once we were back in a cute little village on Nusa Panida. Gede met us as planned and returned us to our hotel but not before supplying a great playlist in the car that my partner and I had a great sing along to finish off a great day ! The only thing is just be cautious of the current but you are amongst so many other snorkelers and the tour guides are around and watching at all times. Unfortunately I have no photos to show as I was more interested in nature's underwater beauty than having a camera with me 🤣 5 stars for the tour and 10 stars for Gede in being so helpful.

This tour was a real adventure. Went with my sister, both of us not strong swimmers, but the guides were reassuring and helpful. We saw SO many colorful fish. The bus ride was a little rough, honestly, but the island views made up for it. Would've liked a little more time at Broken Beach. Still, we got plenty of great pics. If you don’t mind a bumpy ride, totally worth it.

Did this solo and it was the best day I had in Bali. Joined a small group, felt safe the whole time. The highlight for me was seeing the cliffs from the water—felt tiny in the best way. Snorkeling was fun, but tbh the boat ride itself was amazing too. Bring water shoes, the beaches have some rocks.

Unforgettable day. Our group was fun and the guide joked around a lot. Got to see loads of fish and even a starfish. The boat ride was a bit choppy, so maybe not for everyone, but I loved it. Island is beautiful, but watch out for monkeys near the parking lots—they almost took my sunglasses!

We went as a family of four (kids 8 and 10). The kids LOVED the snorkeling—saw a turtle which made their whole trip. Staff helped my youngest with his mask and kept an eye on us. Some steep steps at Diamond Beach, so maybe tricky if you have mobility issues. Overall, great family day out.
