Great scenery
The driver Erba picked me up on time km my hotel and we went to the port where I had the time for a morning coffe. Then I took the fast boat to Nusa Penida where the guide Yana waited for me. The waves where pretty high that day so we didnt see any mantas but we saw a seaturtle. Yana took me around the island in my own pace. I was back in port at 2.45 and had a great lunch there before taking the fastboat back to Sanur. The scenery over the beaches where amazing but renember it's only for viewing and taking photos there is nowhere you can swim therefor make sure to take the combined snorkling tour if you want to swim. The water for snorkling was very deep though so it might not be suitable for kids, then the blue lagoon in Bali is better. But for adults looking to snorkel and magnificent views this is it. When I arrived at port Erba picked me up and took me saftley back to the hotel.

Great drivers, good atmosphere. Bring seasick medicine
Huge thanks to Esa and Putu for being my drivers. I had a wonderful time with them. Unfortunately I got seasick during the manta ray tour but I still had a great time. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for joining us. It's unfortunate that you got sick from the boat ride, a common experience, even I myself always get sick from the boat rides. However, it sounds like you were able to enjoy the rest of the experience, and we're thrilled to hear that. We hope you will join us again the next time you're in Bali. Until next time, we hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful new year. Sincerely, Your new friends at Angga's Hidden Bali

An Unforgettable Experience with Angga’s Hidden Bali
앙가의 히든발리에서 진짜 너무 좋은 시간 보내고 왔어요!!!! 가이드님도 너무 친절하시구 사진도 잘 찍어주셨구 점심도 기대 안했는데 너무 예쁜곳에서 맛있게 먹었어요. 다시 발리를 간다면 꼭 앙가의 히든발리에서 투어 할거에요!!! I had such an amazing time with Angga’s Hidden Bali! The guide was incredibly kind, took great photos of me, and even the lunch exceeded my expectations — it was delicious and at such a beautiful place. If I ever go back to Bali, I will definitely join a tour with Angga’s Hidden Bali again!

Excellent one day tour
Oh man, how to start. This tour is a Must do. The value for money is just amazing. We got picked up in our hotel by Sugara, a lovely and friendly guide who was taking care of us since the very first second. He had 4 cold bottles of water for us to drink during the trip, he explained everything to us so clearly and even got a coffee for us when we arrived to the pier. Got our tickets for the fast boat and made everything clear again. The fast boat is a nice experience, you get to the island in less than 60 minutes. Once we got to the island Putu picked us up, another lovely and friendly guide who even spoke spanish with us, he made sure we had a smooth transition to the snorkelling place and explained everything for us. Once we got there, the lovely team from that activity told us the plan, gave us the equipment and off we went. We were lucky enough to see the manta even though they hadnt seen it for 2 days! After that we also saw the turtle and had an amazing day! After that, Putu brought us to a nice place to have lunch and off we went to visit the other 2 beaches. Putu also took the best photos at the best spots and brought us back to the pier. Once we got back to bali, Sugara was already waiting for us for a smooth transition to the hotel. Both guides were amazing drivers, always driving carefully and merging when safe. Kudos for Angga’s Hidden Bali team and their amazing staff. Also thanks to James for his amazing service and for always taking care of my team. Thanks Sugara and Putu, we had an amazing day!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip?
+
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 Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip 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 Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip?
+
Included: Admission fees; Entrance fees; Use of snorkeling equipment; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Local Guide - Driver. Not included: Lunch; and Towels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3506 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. Be ready about 90 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Nusa Penida Snorkeling: Manta Point & Island Day Trip offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
