Real experiences from real travelers
The water was so calm, which was perfect for my 8-year-old. We saw two turtles and so many colorful fish. The lunch was delicious!
I've snorkeled all over Bali and Blue Lagoon has the clearest water. Booking through the platform was seamless and the private driver was very professional.
We did the snorkeling and the waterfall combo. It was a long day but totally worth it. The Jukung boat ride is a unique experience you shouldn't miss.
As an underwater photographer, I loved the sandy bottom at Tanjung Jepun. Found several nudibranchs and lionfish. Highly recommended for photographers.
The transfer from Kuta was on time, the equipment was new, and our guide pointed out things we never would have seen on our own.
The bay is stunning. It gets a bit busy around midday, so I recommend the early morning tours if you want a quieter experience.
For the price, you get a lot. Boat, gear, lunch, and a driver. It's much easier than trying to organize everything separately in Padang Bai.
The local boatmen were so kind and helped my mother who was a bit nervous about getting into the water. She ended up loving it!
