“A három sznorkelező helyszín közül egyre jutottunk el, ott sem lehetett látni semmit, a hatalmas hullámok és a viharos időjárás ezt előre is jelezte, ennek ellenére elindult a program. Szörnyű volt az utazás is, a 3 métert meghaladó hullámmagasságok sokunknál rosszullétet idéztek elő. Ennek ellenére nem fújták le, csupán két órás lett ez a része a programnak. Partraszállás után a kikötőben várakoztunk 45 percet, majd egy másik hajóval átvittek bennünket Lemboganra és ott egy órát supozhattunk egy mangrove erdőben. Az erdő érdekes volt, de 15 perc után már nem mutatott semmi újat. Az idegenvezetőnk lemaradt, többször mondta is, hogy ő nagyon fáradt, nem bír haladni. Ezért a szolgáltatásért/pr...”

Snorkel three Nusa Penida sites, look for manta rays, paddle a mangrove, and return to Bali by speedboat for $40.
“Schlechte Organisation vor Beginn und auch während der Tour. Schnorchelplätze enttäuschend. Riffe größtenteils zerstört. Guide und Touristen die lebende Korallen und Meereslebewesen für Fotos in die Hand nehmen + die Fische mit Brot anfüttern. Komplett überfüllte Gruppen und lange Wartezeiten. 6h sollte die Aktivität sein, aktive Altivität 1,75h, Schnorchelzeit lediglich 60min. Die drei Schnorchelorte lagen nah beieinander. Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot nach Nusa Hin- und zurück 1.5h. Ingesamt also nur knappe 3 Stunden. Nicht zu empfehlen!”

“Sal was such a great guide. Full of history and facts about the surrounding areas. Was keen to take breaks and gave a hand when needed on some of the slippery areas. At the peak he let us put our eggs inside of the volcanoe ourselves to steam for breakfast, took professional quality photos/videos free of charge, took us to the less populated places as well, and showed us how to feed the monkeys. Amazing experience to do alone or with friends”
