Nemo, Dori and Crush! Do it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Had a wonderful time snorkelling with Eka. We saw a lot of a list celebrities (not one to name drop… but anyway) Nemo, Dori and Crush in their natural habitat. That’s a clown fish, blue tang and turtle for you non “finding nemo” fans. The crew were brilliant from start to finish. Our driver and guide Beni was great fun and a fountain of knowledge about Indonesia. We didn’t see any Manta Rays on this occasion, but the stunning views, ease from start to finish and lovely people sure made up for it. Nothing better than seeing nature in its beautiful natural habitat. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

VERY NICE DAY 🥰 - We didn’t see the Manta Ray, but we had a great day. They are very helpful, Sutha, Robert and our snorkelling guide were full of smiles and helpful advice. The water was clear and clean. We loved it.

Perfect day of snorkeling - My partner and I had a great experience with the company that runs this snorkel tour. We were actually trying to arrange everything ourselves (originally), but trying to figure out the commute to the port, the fastboat, which snorkel company to go with… it got overwhelming. Forever Vacation made it all so easy and convenient; and the guides were super friendly and accommodating. We didn’t end up seeing mantas that day, but they’re wild animals on their own schedule! The trip was still worth it since we saw so many beautiful fish and coral, and two sea turtles. We also loved the Go Pro footage we received at the end. Would do another tour with them when we return to Bali!

Great day of snorkeling! - The guides were fantastic and communicated quickly on what to expect and the next steps. We enjoyed every bit of the snorkeling and really appreciated all the cool go pro footage and pictures. I highly recommend booking this trip as well as with this company!

Snorkelling at nusa penida - The trip was so seamless. I was highly impressed by the organization of forever vacation. Itinerary was very clear and concise. I was hesitant as I was doing it as a solo traveller, but it was more than safe with this travel company. The mantarays weren’t out today, but the guide made a great effort to still make sure we saw some cool wildlife such as turtles and other fish. Highly recommend. Aprio and Eka were amazing. Aprio was a great driver/ guide with a great friendly personality.

Perfect snorkeling trip - Great snorkeling trip! My fiancé and I did the snorkeling only trip and it was perfect. Very great communication leading up to the trip and throughout the day from Buddy and Boneng. We even got some underwater pictures! Highly recommend for those looking to snorkel as there are 4 stops with lots of swimming time.

Professional, friendly and attentive - We did a half day snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida. Our guide and driver, Wayan, was excellent. He communicated with us beforehand to re-confirm the tour and pickup, he arrived early and incredibly friendly and attentive. He was our guide for the whole experience. Wayan answered an our questions, had so much to tell us about Balinese culture and traditions and it was a great learning experience overall, in addition to the snorkeling experience. We could tell that he was genuinely passionate about his work and about making sure we had the opportunity to learn about Bali through the people there. He was professional, friendly, and helpful. The snorkeling itself - the waves I have to say were a bit choppy for my own liking, but the team had previously told us to bring motion sickness medicine in case we need it. I would recommend Wayan to any travel experience in Bali.

Best Tour Group - We booked for the Snorkeling Nusa Penida Tour so that we could swim with the giant manta rays. This was their semi-private, small group (max 8 pax) 1/2 day tour which was all water based with 4 snorkelling stops. The communication and organisation from start to finish was outstanding. As soon as we booked, a WhatsApp group was set up to ensure everyone was looped in and all we had to do was enjoy the day. Aji picked us up from the hotel at 6am for the drive to Sanur. Time for a leisurely breakfast before boarding the ferry over to the island. Once on Nusa Penida we were boarded onto our boat for the morning with Eka as our guide. There were only 4 guests on the boat (plus staff) The first stop was Manta Bay. Be warned the water can be very, very rough. It was most definitely not calm so if you are expecting to swim in clear, calm water and see mantas swimming around and getting that Insta perfect photo, you will be likely be disappointed. There were very high waves, turbulent water and overall it was very choppy. We asked for life vests and that certainly made it easier while in the water. We did see 2 manta rays which was great, but it was quite tiring being in the water and there were also a lot of boats and tourists in the area all hoping to see rays. The subsequent stops were much better and more enjoyable. The water was clear and calm, there were less boats and tourists in the water and we got to see an abundance of fish, coral and turtles. Eka was in the water filming and before we had even left Nusa Penida we had been sent photos and video footage which will be a lovely reminder of the trip. Unfortunately because it was exceedingly rough water conditions (both on the boat and in the water) my friend got very ill - despite taking motion sickness medication. The staff at Forever Vacation went out of their way to get her back to the island early and looked after her until we could catch the ferry back to Sanur. Despite extreme sea sickness and turbulent water in Manta Bay, it was still a worthwhile experience and Forever Vacation were flawless every step of the way.

beautiful water, nothing special for the price - The snorkeling portion with Eka was great! We didn't see any Manta Rays or sea turtles but it was a great day in the water, lots of fish and coral. it was nice having hotel pickup but my driver wasn't very friendly/didn't offer much information but he said he doesn't normally go on the ferry so maybe just an off thing for him. It was with Forever Vacations and I talked to another traveler who has greatly enjoyed multiple experiences with that company but I think it was way too much to pay for USD $200 for half day of snorkling when the trip I wanted to do (full day, half snorkeling and half driving to sights on Nusa Penida) was half off that and unfortunately for me was fully booked and I booked this so I would not not miss out on the opportunity to snorkle
