Someone was then waiting for me when I got off and looked after me for the trips on the island. The snorkelling was great I was lucky to see manta rays and turtles and the guide in the water dealt with getting photos. Some great places visited on the Island and then the return was seamless too. Would highly recommend.”

“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...”

Ketut - the organizer and dive guide - is just great! Professional and exceptionally friendly. He was going above and beyond to make sure we enjoy the experience. The gear was of a very good quality, felt like brand new. Just be aware that the speed boat from Sanur to Manta Point is about an hour of a bumpy ride. But the dives are worth it!”
