Half-day snorkeling from Bali hotels to Menjangan (Deer Island), two reef stops, lots of fish and coral, and a chance to spot deer.
“Superbe activité ! Le snorkeling se passe dans les meilleures conditions : les coraux sont magnifiques; des tonnes de poissons de toutes les tailles et de toutes les formes à voir; nous avons eu la chance d’apercevoir une tortue et un barracuda ! L’ile et sa plage sont paradisiaque pour prendre le repas. Le bateau est commode et le guide tres gentil. En revanche nous n’avons pas fait de randonnée avec les biches mais 2 spots différents de snorkelling et le repas sur la plage.”

“It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in swimming with dolphins and snorkeling—it’s the perfect spot for both! Our driver, Renoo, was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making the day even more enjoyable. Make sure to pack yourself a snack and water bottles”
Early-morning Lovina dolphin spotting, a plank-style swim, snorkeling with coral, and optional waterfalls. English guide, gear included, from $19.
“We were really disappointed with this excursion and unfortunately cannot recommend it. • The transfer was extremely overpriced (800,000 IDR for a 10-minute ride). • We asked to leave our bags at the port and were told it was not possible, but other guests in the same van were allowed to keep theirs in the vehicle. • The trip was advertised as 3 hours but lasted barely 2. • Snorkeling equipment was incomplete (no snorkels, unlike other boats). • The experience itself was very sad: there were more than 200 boats chasing the dolphins, which was stressful for the animals. If you truly care about them, please don’t go. •…”

“Absolutely fantastic day trip! We went to meet at the dive centre at 8.15 and was on the boat for 9.30. We swam to the island and stopped off for lunch from 11.30 to 12.30 then got back on the boat to snorkel for another hour. Then we were Read more”
Private Lovina fishing on a traditional boat with a local guide, beginner-friendly hand-line help, optional snorkeling for coral reefs, from $19.
“We were a couple hundred meters off the shore and just fishing off the bottom with tiny hooks. You couldn’t catch a big fish if you wanted to. We then paid extra to go see the dolphins. That was good too but the later in the day the better I’d have thought due to number of boats. It was a good time but was expecting more from the photos.”
Snorkel Menjangan Island, Bali, on a guided half-day tour with two reef stops, included gear, lunch, and a chance to see deer.
“It was really well organized, everything worked well and I had a great time swimming at the Menjangan reef, we even got to see two turtles. It's quite a price to pay but it's worth it because it really includes everything. And it's definitely a must do if you're in Pemuteran.”
