Wall Bay Point
Wall Bay Point Nusa Penida, located at West Coast of Nusa Penida. Wall bay point has some very pretty blood red finger corals. The coral is very pretty and there are tons of fish but the current here can be very, very strong. It’s best to have the boat drift with you rather than trying to swim against it. On the Wall Bay Point you we find a magnificent wall dive. From 5-15 metres we find a coral plateau and then the site drops off into a very deep wall and the big blue. The constant current running along the wall makes for fantastic diving for those a little more experienced. The nutrient rich waters allow both hard and soft corals to thrive here as well as an abundance of marine life.

Great excursion! I recommend!
Great experience! As soon as the driver picks you up from the hotel, everything is very well organized. We were lucky enough to see a lot of manta rays and a turtle, it was great!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nusa Dua.
How much does Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nusa Dua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida 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 Nusa Dua is not rushed.
Is Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nusa Dua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida?
+
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 Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida 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 Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida?
+
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 Nusa Dua 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 Nusa Dua and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Swim With Manta Rays Snorkeling Nusa Penida 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 Nusa Dua 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 Nusa Dua?
+
On Outty we rank every Nusa Dua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Tour - Bali Volcano Adventure, All inclusive Private 3 day tours package : Bali highlights. 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 Nusa Dua?
+
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 Nusa Dua?
+
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.
