The 15 Best Snorkeling Trips from Kuta, Bali

31 tours

The water off Kuta is for surfing, not for looking down, so every good snorkelling day starts with a drive east or a boat. Blue Lagoon at Padangbai, the coral gardens off Nusa Lembongan, the manta cleaning stations at Penida and the Liberty wreck at Tulamben. Below: how many stops each boat makes, gear and lunch, and how rough the crossing gets.

Ubud to Nusa Penida in one day, with 3 snorkeling stops including Manta Bay, plus fast viewpoints and lunch.

“I think tourists have ruined the travelling thing for everyone else with the Instagram, influencer stuff. The locals and companies think we're all the same. So what I can tell you if you want to see Penida, stay there with a vehicle or a private driver don't book a 10 hour visit. Your time will be in majority waiting, travelling by boat and car. The visit at all is 2 hours of snorkeling and half hour of sightseeing. We were picked up at 7am and the boat at Sanur Pier was at 9AM, we arrived at 9h30 at Nusa Penida, waited for instructions and the gear to enter to another…”
