Your first day starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Bali, which will take you to the harbor to a speedboat that will arrive at Gili Trawangan in just a few hours’ time. On the way, catch breathtaking views of Mount Agung and the deep blue sea.

I had a great trip thanks to our tour guide Putu! Our trip was very well organized from pickup, transfer and the entire day trip went very smoothly. Putu is a wonderful guide! He was very helpful, informative and very kindly took a lot of amazing pictures & videos of us and showed us the best spots around. The view of Kelingking beach is incredible! If you have a limited number of days in Bal, I will highly recommend this day trip, especially with Putu.

The trip was amazing. The tour guide, Gusti was his name, made us feel secured and cared for the entire trip. He managed to get the best spots for a photo and made us feel cared for during the boat ride as well as the trip on Nusa penida as well. Also our driver, shutri, helped out as a photographer. Even on the scariest of roads he drive safely and swiftly. An amazing experience well worth the price!

Amazing experience. Our driver Raka was great company and shared a lot of Balinese culture and traditions with us along the way. We were glad to have him as our driver. The snorkeling was fun but the best part was the River Rafting!

It was a great trip, everything was well organized and we had 3 great snorkeling stops. Unfortunately we didn't see any manta rays. It was nevertheless an unforgettable experience.
