This 10.5-hour shared trip from Bali combines a 45-minute fast boat to Nusa Penida, snorkeling at Manta Bay, Wall Point or Gamat Bay, and Crystal Bay, then lunch and a quick land tour of Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel’s Billabong. Pickup is available from Ubud and other Bali areas.

“First part of the trip (snorkeling) was amazing. Expect on one spot we stopped for 10 minutes. That was strange. Lots of activities but not enough time. At the start we lost 45 mons since they put us on a tour an hour later than it was in the program.”
