We loved snorkelling Nusa Lombongan and Nusa Penida today. Each of the 3 snorkelling spot was unique and beautiful. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful of all skill levels.

Lembongan Trip is a local operator based in Jungutbatu on Nusa Lembongan that runs snorkelling day trips for guests staying on mainland Bali.

Certified guides and boat captains run the water part; masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets are provided.
After snorkelling comes an Indonesian lunch and a quiet 30-minute ride through the Lembongan mangroves in a traditional boat, then the boat back to Sanur and the drive to your hotel.
