Review of Nusa Penida’s 4-stop snorkeling trip, manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“We did this tour and had an absolute blast. The experience was phenomenal. We got to see manta rays, turtles and more. Our guides Fernando and Coral took fantastic care of us. I had never snorkled before and I had no problems. I did get a little sea sick as I wasn't used to the water. That was no problem for them, they came over and took care of us immediately and got us up and running again. If you get Fernando and Coral as your guides, you are in for an experience you will remember for your lifetime.”
