The 15 Best Snorkeling & Manta Ray Trips in Bali

45 reviewed

Manta Point off Nusa Penida, Crystal Bay and the reefs around Lembongan, where the water stays clear enough to watch the wing tips a long way down. These trips cover the best drop-in spots: how many stops each makes, whether gear and lunch are in the price, and which suit nervous first-timers.

“We chose the 2pm tour and still managed to see lots of mantas and a turtle. It was an amazing experience and definitely amazing value for money. The guides take some videos and pictures for you in the water and send them over the same day. The boat was good and overall we had an amazing time.
