After looking at a few different snorkeling tours we decided to go with ForeverVacation due to their great reviews and amazing customer service. SO happy we took this tour!Snorkeling was so much fun and our captain Komang, went above and beyond to make us feel safe and comfortable. The land tour in Nusa Penida was so beautiful and relaxing.If you're looking for a fun and hassle-free experience then this is the one for you.

OMG! The day was amazing!! We loved this snorkeling tour with ForeverVacation. It was so surreal to be surrounded by Mantas for most of the day. Also, the land tour of Nusa Penida was amazing as well. It far exceeded all of our expectations. A must while you're in Bali! 10/10

Janie & Ben arenso quick to contact me via WhatsApp and organized everything so smoothly for my last minute booking for the tour the next day. The tour took place as exactly presented and guides took pictures of us and post on WhatsApp so I was able to download them later. We were lucky to be able to swim with a few Manta Rays! Broken Beach and Kelingking Beach were so beautiful....even after bumpy road trip, it was so worth it. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating, lunch was great also at the local restaurant/hotel. Overall it was great experience!!

We are a family of 3 with a 12 years old boy, joined this private Snorkelling tour with Forever Vacation to Nusa Penida, our first time going to this island. There are two good things about the tour - (1) Communication before tour was promptly and good (2) pick up and drop off between guides was good and efficient. Pick up from hotel was punctual, but after we arrived the pier, things became chaotic. Ticketing system of speed boat company was messy, after we have got our tickets, we had to walked across lots of people and walked over a grotty beach to get on a ferry / speed boat which was not easy owing to high tide. Seats inside the speed boat were packed, inside the cabin was very stuffy. I understand it was not under Forever vacations control but they should have told us before hand. Once we boarded on Nusa Penida, we changed another smaller boat and set off for Snorkelling right away. First stop was spotting Manta Ray. We were lucky to be able to meet one or two, but the water was really rough, we three had quite a lot of Snorkelling experience so we were ok, but the other couple on the same boat were sick in the water and needed to go back to the boat after a while in the rough water. The couple could not go to the water again in the next two dives as the lady kept vomiting. We felt so sorry for them. The operator should have managed our expectation and warned us about the condition and arrangement before hand.The second and third Snorkelling spots were fine. Then we stopped for lunch in a local restaurant. We could choose a main dish and a drink, which everything was pretty basic , price for a main dish listed on the menu was from IDR 35000-50000 ( US 2 - 3.2 ) . Price for this tour is pretty high - we paid HK $ 3596 ( about US 460 ); I would expect a better lunch! The guide said we could have a shower there, but it was basically a cold water hose in a grotty toilet. After lunch we went to Crystal bay, which water was nothing close to Crystal, it was pretty grotty indeed with rubbish in the water. And we were not even offered a sun bed or/and umbrella. And we only had 45mins there. A rush beach experience.The returning speed boat arrangement was even worse- since tide was super low, we needed to take a Sampan to reach the speed boat . But there were too many people waiting to board and there was no proper queueing system; when the Sampan came, everyone fought to get on the Sampan like refugees !!! We waited few rounds and finally could got on one. In the end, we were an hour late to get back to Sanur. I heard the government is building a new pier at Sanur, hope the ferry / speed boat system and quality will improve by then. In general, I will not recommend this tour to others.

Absolutely exceptional!! This was such a magical experience. Snorkelling was great got to see 8 manta rays within almost arm distance!! We were also lucky enough to see 2 turtles! The island is also very beautiful and is usually sunny as per the residents (not much rain). The island also a has clean beachs and amazing cliffs and views to see. I would highly recommend going through the company as everyone was very professional and they took care of everything from the moment you leave your hotel to the moment you get back. Our island guide Robert was very kind, patient and spoke English fluently. Couldnt have been happier with him as he went out of his way to take good pictures and show us hidden gems so we could avoid large crowds. A few pointers for new bookers:1) bring spare clothes, obviously (swim clothes, dry clothes, I recommend slippers and shoes as well) they will provide all the snorkelling equipment 2) everything is already paid for in your initial purchase however I recommend bringing cash for gratuities and snacks/extra water3) feel free to ask your guides for alternate routes, hidden gems outside the initial itinerary. They are more than happy to oblige!

This tour is definitely a best tour in Bali. We booked this tour because we loved to get into the water in Bali. It seemed tough to find a clean beach in Bali so we decided to take this tour in Nuda Penida. And yes, the water was so clear that we could see all through. Komano took us to so many spots so we could see so many different type of fish, turtles and Manta Rays. Never felt as safe like in this tour before. Komang really look after us. Thanks so much everyone for an amazing tour.

By far the best day we had in Bali! We had been on a few excursions on our visit prior to taking this trip with Forever Vacation, and this blew the others out of the water. Natin was so helpful driving to and from the ferry, and Dhina was an amazing guide taking to us to some the most beautiful spots on Nusa Penida. Would recommend to anyone visiting Bali!

Such a wonderful day, fabulous service from the moment we were picked up and throughout the day. We saw lots of Mantas, hundreds of fish, turtles and a sea snake. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable, taking us to some really interesting locations (we had 4 snorkelling stops in total). Lunch was at a stunning beachside restaurant. This was our last day and what a perfect end.
