Experience one of Bali’s most iconic marine adventures: snorkeling alongside majestic manta rays at Manta Point, Nusa Penida. This comprehensive day trip offers an unforgettable encounter with gentle giants in their natural habitat, combined with the breathtaking beauty of Nusa Penida’s coastline .

Activity Overview

This tour takes you on a journey from Bali to the pristine waters of Nusa Penida, home to the famous Manta Point. Here, you’ll have the unique opportunity to swim with reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) that can reach up to 5 meters in wingspan . The adventure combines exhilarating snorkeling sessions with stunning coastal views, making it perfect for marine enthusiasts and nature lovers alike .

Manta Point is located off the southwestern coast of Nusa Penida, roughly a 45-minute boat ride from Bali.
