Great Snorkelling trip. I was picked up from my hotel in the bus taxi and we are taken to Base Camp where we met our snorkel guide, Young Coconut, and were fitted for fins, and left our belongings in a locker. A short walk along a boardwalk, through the mangroves, to the boat, where we met our captain, and headed out to sea. We were given snorkel and goggles. There were also life jackets we could wear if we chose, and a couple of girls opted for a life ring, as they weren't confident swimmers. Some chose to stay on the boat. Young Coco was very helpful and looked after us all.
Our first dive was close by, in a beautiful calm area with coral and so many small, colourful fish. After the dive we were given a small bottle of water.
We motored around the north of Lembongan, passed Ceningan and then alongside Penida. I wish I'd brought my camera with me aboard the boat, so I could've taken pictures of the scenery along the way. We passed Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach. Amazing views from the boat.
The next stop was looking for Mantas, but unfortunately we didn't see any that day. The currents were pretty strong, even the captain commented on it, and the third spot was choppy, but saw lovely coral again and a turtle.
We got back aboard and were given a snack and a towel.
I was exhausted at the end. I really enjoyed the Snorkelling, which I'd only done once before. And Bali has amazing blue water with great visibility. Our guide was excellent. Even the boat trip alone would have been worth it.
Young Coco was taking photos on the GoPro throughout the day and at the end he gave us his what's app or email and sent them to us all. Unlike some other tours where you have to pay extra for photos, these were included in the price which was awesome. We each got some really good photos to remember the day.
I'd thoroughly recommend these guys for a great, fun day on the water!
