Accessible WW2 history
Having planned to be able to dive with tanks on this wreck, I wasn't too sure if snorkling could really feel satisfying. My son had recovered from a recent ear infection and was under doctors recommendation to avoid much depth so we decided to give it a go with mask and snorkle. The Liberty was torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942 but managed to limp to shore in Tulamben where it settled on the rocks along the shoreline. There it stayed until 1963 when earthquakes related to the eruption of nearby Agung caused the wreck to slip down into deeper water. Parts of what seem to be the bow still lie at shallow depth about 40m from the beach and have a good coat of coral and lots of fish and are quite accessible for snorklers . Truth be told, this site is best appreciated by the scuba equipped as far more of the wreck is found at depths of 5 to 25m, but it is nonetheless a great site to investigate with snorkling gear alone.

Private snorkeling for 2 days
We went out with Ferry from Zero Gravity diving for 2 days in April 2019 for private snorkeling. We had arranged to be picked up at the cruise ship and to go to Padangbai for 1 of the days and to Tulamben and Amed on the other day. The sites were a long drive from the cruise ship. Both Ferry and the driver were fantastic. Zero Gravity took care of all the arrangements which included boats from where the cars stopped to the snorkel sites and lunch. We hope to return to Indonesia and go out snorkeling with them again.
Response from the operator: Dear Beth, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with Zero Gravity Diving... We are happy to read that you are satisfied with our service. It was our pleasure to show you Bali underwater world. We are also very grateful to you for recommending Zero Gravity Diving. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next diving vacation.

Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.
How much does Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Kuta is not rushed.
Is Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck?
+
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 Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck?
+
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 Kuta 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 Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling at Tulamben Liberty Shipwreck 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 Kuta 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 Kuta?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour, Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive. 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 Kuta?
+
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 Kuta?
+
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.
