FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions


💬 Where can I snorkel with manta rays in Nusa Penida?
✨ The best spot to swim with manta rays is Manta Point, located on the southwest side of Nusa Penida Island. Here, majestic manta rays glide close to the surface almost every day of the year. It’s one of the most famous dive and snorkeling sites in Bali.
💬 Is it safe to snorkel with manta rays?
✨ Yes, absolutely! Manta rays are peaceful and harmless — they have no stingers or teeth. All tours include guides and safety gear. Just remember to keep a respectful distance and never touch the mantas — they are wild animals and deserve gentle respect.
💬 When is the best time to see manta rays in Nusa Penida?
✨ Manta rays can be spotted all year round, but the best visibility and calm seas are usually between April - November and from March - June. During this period, the water is clearer, and ocean conditions are ideal for snorkeling and underwater photography.
💬 Do I need to be an experienced swimmer?
✨ Even beginners can safely enjoy snorkeling with manta rays.
💬 What should I bring for snorkeling?
✨ Bring your swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and waterproof camera if you have one. Our private boat tours include snorkeling gear — mask, fins, and snorkel — so you don’t need to bring your own.
💬 Can I book a private snorkeling tour to Manta Point?
✨ Yes! You can easily book a Private Boat Tour to Manta Point via WhatsApp.
Private tours include equipment, life jackets, refreshments, and local guide.
💬 Can children join the snorkeling trip?
✨ Of course! Our snorkeling tours are family-friendly and beginner-friendly.
💬 Are photos included in the tour?
✨ Yes, our tours include photo packages with underwater GoPro footage. It’s the perfect way to capture your unforgettable manta moment.
💬 100 % Manta Rays guarantee?
✨ No one knows. It is wildlife. But the chances are 70% in Manta Bay and 90% in Manta Point. Manta sightings are never guaranteed. Sea conditions and wildlife activity change daily.
💬 How many people are in one boat for snorkeling activities?
✨ Low season conditions 10-15 people, Peak season 20-25+ people.

Tips for First-Time Snorkelers


✨ We recommend you bring some sort of closed bathing suit such as a rash guard. This is because a couple of times a year there can be little pink jellyfish that can cause a bit of an itchy sting. So if you do see the jellyfish, you can put it on and of course it’s also great sun protection!
✨ Don't touch the coral — it's a living organism and even a light touch can cause damage.
✨ Use reef-safe sunscreen — chemical sunscreens harm marine ecosystems. Opt for mineral-based SPF.
✨ Wear a rash guard — it protects against sunburn and jellyfish stings.
✨ Stay close to your guide — currents can be unpredictable, especially at Manta Point and SD Point.
✨ Go in the morning — calmer seas and better light for underwater visibility.
✨ Stay hydrated — sun and saltwater are exhausting. Drink water between spots.

Great experience! They took us from the port to four areas where we saw a manta ray, dolphins on the surface as we moved along, a sea turtle, and countless different fish and corals. The guides told us what we were going to see, helped us see everything, and made jokes that made the trips enjoyable.

Really fun experience. It does look very choppy in the water when you go but don’t be discouraged! The guides are awesome at keeping you safe and you can choose with or without life jacket. The guides are really awesome with photos and videos.

The organization of these guys is top notch. There were 4 spots, we saw both a manta ray and a turtle. The organizers had bread with them to feed the fish. The photos and videos from snorkeling turned out really cool.
