No mantas
Not a good choice for seeing mantas. Turns out they are active morning and evening. We were taken to mantas point in the middle of the day. Too short time snorkeling. Long transportation time. Lunch was awful, would be better not to offer free lunch. Driver and all staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing!!!
The Balinese are so kind and considerate. The water was clear and we saw a lot of different species. Lunch was nice and plenty of water on offer.

Snorkeling with turtles
We had an amazing time. The snorkeling was great and we saw so many turtles. All in all great day. Food was good too

Great Experience :)
Great overall. Ferry infrastructure was not great as there was no pier for boarding. Had to brave the waves to get on board a moving boat which is somewhat risky. Ferry was also cramp. However, these are not issues under the control of the tour agent. Saw construction activity for the piers but I think they will take 2 years to be ready. There was a last minute change in pick up timing from 630am to 930am. The tour agent called the night before and explained that conditions will be better for afternoon snorkelling which was sound advice because (1) way less crowded in the afternoon and (2) more importantly, we listened to the agent's advice on the tides and conditions for snorkelling. Manta will only come when the sea conditions are ideal. We had the amazing opportunity to swim very close to around 10 Mantas at Manta Bay. Private snorkelling and the boat reserved for my family was good. The local guide and the boatman we had at Nusa Penida were very good and friendly. The only qualm I had was the driver who picked us up from the pier for the return back to our hotel. He was coughing consistently and during this post pandemic period, I guess everyone will not appreciate being stuck in a car with a driver coughing throughout the whole 45 mins ride. We used several other drivers during this Bali trip and this was the worst experience we had.

Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta?
+
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 Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nusa penida senorkeling with Manta 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.
