The day was simply beautiful for me. We were very lucky with the weather. Registration in the morning was straightforward, and I was greeted very warmly by Sandy. We set off shortly before 8 a.m. The boat was comfortable and offered shady spots. Shortly after, I spotted the first dolphins. The snorkeling spots weren't that special for me, as I've snorkeled in Australia many times before and am used to different things. Also, some of the snorkeling spots are artificial coral reefs, which is a bit of a shame. Sandy and Nyoman looked after us really well, explained everything very well, and took great photos and videos of us. We also got to the photo spots on the island of Nusa Penida before the crowds, which meant we were able to take pictures undisturbed. I also really enjoyed the shore excursion. The highlight: snorkeling with the manta rays was an unforgettable experience! We were able to see two huge rays. At the end, a whole family of dolphins swam alongside the boat. Simply fantastic!
The only thing I didn't like was that the selection of snacks and drinks was really limited. It was a very sunny and hot day and they only provided about two small 300ml water bottles per person, two bananas per person, and one melon for everyone. I would have liked more snacks (nuts, gummy bears, etc.) for the price I paid. I'm also glad I brought my own snorkeling gear, as I heard from some people that they had problems with the fit of the equipment. All in all, an unforgettable day that I would recommend to everyone!
