What is this tour like?
Lembongan Island Tour is a local team based on Jalan Raya Mangrove on Nusa Lembongan, and this package puts the island's main sights into one day: snorkeling at 3 spots around Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, lunch, a mangrove trip by traditional boat and a car tour of the island. The spots are chosen on the day from Manta Bay, Gamat Bay, Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh Wall and Mangrove Point, depending on sea and weather. The operator is clear that manta rays are not guaranteed: the crew watches the conditions and heads for the best-known places, and lucky guests may also meet turtles or dolphins. Gear with a flotation device for beginners, an English-speaking guide and a shared underwater camera are included, and the photos are sent to you after the tour.
There are 2 ways to join. If you are already on Lembongan, pickup from the harbour or your hotel is at 9:30–9:45 am and the price is IDR 600,000 per person.

“I had an amazing experience on this tour — truly one of the highlights of my trip to Bali. The staff were extremely professional, well-organized, and genuinely kind throughout the entire day. They made us feel comfortable and taken care of from start to finish. Everything was smooth, enjoyable, and thoughtfully planned. The atmosphere was great, and the whole experience felt special and memorable. It was honestly one of the most beautiful and unforgettable days I’ve had in Bali. Highly recommended!”
“Very good experience, the transfer from the hotel in Kuta, to the port to the snorkeling boat was smooth. We even managed to see 4 big manta rays at the snorkeling site. The waves can be a bit rough, but the guides (5 of them) were in the water to ensure everyone was safe. Shoutout to Robbie and his team for the snorkeling trip, and Tobi our driver for the speedy travel. Would definitely recommend this package!”
