    Experience could have been more organized.

    There was great coral and lots of fish to see. There was quite a bit of trash in the water and they seemed very disorganized when we first got there. I chose a smaller group snorkel tour to make sure we did not have to wait and deal with large crowds and even though there was not a large crowd and my daughter and I ended up on a boat for just us, there was a lot of back and forth between the operators. We received fins for the feet and then were told to take them off and go to a different operator and get other fins. Just a lot of confusion like that. Also, I recommend if you have little ones or if you are not a good swimmer to order a snorkling guide. I found out the hard way that the boat operator cannot get off the boat to help you if you are struggling. Also both mine and my daughters snorkels we not working. He’s never worked and mine started taking in water 20 min into snorkeling which is weird because we snorkels all over and that has never happened before. Just things to be mindful of us you are going on this tour. In the end we did see great coral and great fish so that’s why I gave it at least 3 stars.

    Response from the operator: Hi Chrystal Thank you for your comment about our tour and please apologize for any inconvenience caused To answer your comment , We will explain base on our standard operational procedure of our blue lagoon snorkeling 1. Our snorkeling trip Include all necessary equipment such as fin and snorkel . We put all of this equipment separate from the basecamp/ resto when your driver drop you off. On your case since our staff told you to get the fin at equipment room , so perhaps you think that you went to other operator. We will follow up our staff communication so this misunderstanding wont happen again in the future 2. Our snorkeling trip use traditional boat and you are right if you have little one its recommended to choose with guide option. But fyi even you choose without guide option, the boat captain will always supervise you and help you to get back to boat 3 . All the boat have ladder for you to get off or get in the boat. If you use this ladder in/ out should not have much problem . Please apologize if this ladder not enough for you 🙏 4 . Our boat captain always bring spare snorkeling mask . So on your case that you said the snorkel not work ,you can substitute with other one so it can suit you Its was good that in the end of day you finally see great corral and great fish. Once again please apologize for the inconvenience caused , we will use your feedback to evaluate our service

    Awesome tour, highly recommended!!

    Ketut from Yowana Tour took us on a whole day tour snorkelling and ATV quad bike ride. Communication was easy from the start. I asked ton of questions through emails as I wanted everything to go smooth since we are travelling with kids. Ketut was super helpful resolving all my enquires quite promptly. He was very punctual not only for the tour but for airport transfer too. We were very pleased with Ketut’s friendly and understanding attitude towards our family. He was there near us all the time while we were doing the activities, not like some other tour companies where they leave tourists on the activity place and go then have to wait to be picked up or to ask questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Ketut and Yowana Tour as the quality/content of the tour was great. We look forward to use his services again in the future. Thank you so much Ketut!!

    Response from the operator: Hi Rosa Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure for us and the team that make your Bali holiday memorable . Hope to see you and family again in Bali

    Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.

    Is Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ubud?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ubud?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ubud?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blue Lagoon Snorkeling with Private Boat, Guide and Transfer?
