Travelers’ tips for this tour
Expect the possibility of partially poor underwater visibility and strong sea currents. If you are a novice snorkeler or are not particularly strong swimmers, it may serve you well to inform the crew ahead of time.
Manage your time well and be ready to go as soon as the boat anchors, as several reviewers have reported feeling rushed during the snorkeling stops.
Consider bringing your own fan, especially if you are prone to feel hot easily, as you may need to wait inside the ferry at certain points.
Keep in mind that popular snorkeling spots like Manta Bay may be crowded and sometimes, due to unruly weather conditions, inaccessible.
If you want to capture your snorkeling experience on GoPro, consider bringing your own. Some reviewers had to pay for mediocre GoPro recordings.
Anticipate a potentially extensive lunch break, which some tourists have seen as an opportunity for more snorkeling.
While lunch is offered during the tour, if you have a sensitive stomach, it may be wise to carry snacks or light lunch from a source you trust.
If you are particularly interested in experiencing marine biodiversity, the Blue Lagoon may be another viable option to explore.
Conclusion
For travelers keen to experience Bali's spectacular underwater worlds up close, this island-hopping snorkeling tour is a must. With stops at three top spots, you'll be amazed by the marine life.
