    Fantastic Family Snorkelling Trip

    We had a fantastic days’ snorkelling with Robert and the team at Zero Gravity Diving at the end of March. Recommended to us by a good friend and would highly recommend to others too. Comms were really clear and responsive as we planned the trip a few days in advance. Pick up was super smooth. All of the staff were super friendly, relaxed and attentive. We were a family group with two children aged 8 and 10 and the team made sure we had a great day. Equipment was good and any issues Robert and the team were happy to help. Lunch of nasi campur was super tasty with plenty of water and coffee / tea on offer too. We did 3 dive sites and were lucky enough to see manta rays and a turtle amongst so much other marine life. I personally really enjoyed the variety of sites and especially the drift snorkel along the reef. Lots of photos of big smiles, wonderful scenery and beautiful fish to enjoy as we return home. We would definitely snorkel again and hope to dive with Zero Gravity in the future. Thanks team!

    Response from the operator: Dear Rich, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with Zero Gravity Diving. We are really happy to read that you are satisfied with our service. It was our pleasure to have you snorkeling with us. We are very grateful to you for recommending us and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next vacation. Best Regards from Zero Gravity Diving Bali Team

    Awesome time!

    We had an amazing day of snorkeling with Zero Gravity! Branko was super communicative with booking and organizing our ride to the dive shop, and his team showed us a great time out on the boat. We saw a ton of wildlife including mantas, turtles, squid, fish, and coral, and felt well taken care of the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

    Response from the operator: Dear Patrick, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with Zero Gravity Diving.

    Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $129 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 Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan?

    +

    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 Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan?

    +

    Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan 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.

    What is included in Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan?

    +

    Included: One snorkeling guide for maximum six snorkelers in a group; Lunch, fruits and bottled water; Use of towel; Use of snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins and life jacket); and Snorkeling trip by speedboat. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 683 listed pickup locations in and around Kuta. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Russian, English, Croatian and Serbian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Snorkelling with Manta Rays at Nusa Penida and Lembongan if the weather is bad?
