Review of Day Trip Bali’s Nusa Penida boat tour, with four snorkel stops, manta rays, lunch, Kelingking Cliff, pricing, and practical tips.
“My wife and I loved the snorkeling. Fantastic experience. We saw two dolphins from the boat, one turtle while snorkeling, and many closeup encounter with Mantas at the last stop. We will cherish the Mantas experience. Ceco and Aldo were excellent guides and were very helpful with our lack of experience, made us feel safe and enabled us to have a great time.”
Review of Ubud’s private day tour, with temples, waterfall, rice terraces, monkey forest, local art, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“The guide was actually a driver that should not be taking women around. His views about men being primary earners was discussed for hours and he mocked women on the street. Several times he discouraged us from making planned stops so he could finish his day earlier. He did not take us to the monkey forest and instead took us to a monkey river so he could get done. I would definitely not recommend this tour.”

Review of a private Nusa Penida snorkeling day trip from Bali, with manta rays, Kelingking Beach, lunch, transfers, gear, and GoPro photos.
“I highly recommend Forever Vacations tour for many reasons. After you book and before you go, excellent communications. Everyone on their team works in unison from pick up at hotel, to getting you on speedboat, the dive guys on boat are great, we opted to skip Crystal Bay and drive to Broken Beach and Angel Billabong. Do this you'll love it. Snorkeling was OUTSTANDING as we saw multiple Manta Ray's. Note some very small jellyfish stings in that area with Mantas. Then the next couple snorkeling spots were spectacular and some of the best in the world. Bottom line, you will LOVE your your and your operator.”

Agung’s English was excellent and had a wonderful sense of humour which made the trip a lot of fun.. we had the best day.”
