“Thank you everyone - my kids can't stop talking about their great day! Our driver to and from Sanur Port was enthusiastic, and made us all feel so at ease. Our boating crew at Nusa Penida were great, and Komang the snorkelling instructor was particularly helpful to support my 11 year old and ensure he was safe during our time in the water.
After snorkelling, Putu drove us to Kelingking Beach and ensured we had some excellent views of this stunning landmark. Then we went to crystal bay and my kids had a great time swimming in the clear waters. All in all, it was a ln exciting day full of memorable people and experiences. What more could you ask for from a tour?”
“The trip was very well organised, and the level of coordination was really immaculate. There were a few instances where I was very impressed and thankful for their services:
. The driver, Tunah Rai, helped me to hunt for motion sickness pills when I found out that I had left mine in the luggage, at a short notice. After the trip, he also gave recommendations on places to visit besides Nusa Penida. And I was so glad that I took his recommendations because they turned out great!
. The snorkelling guide, Sudiarta, was very patient with my partner as she was afraid of water. He was really patient in helping her overcome her fears of the deep waters as it was the first time doing such activities.
. The driver/guide for Nusa Penida, Putu, was a really good photographer (I myself had 7 years of photography experiences in different fields, including drone photography). I did not have to check his framing when I handed him my mirrorless camera. He also managed to find spots that's not as crowded, but with a sicc views.
Really appreciate the level of coordination, promptness, and experiences of the crews from Vi and Ben too! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
If I were to visit Penida again for 2 days trip or something, I would definitely go with them! Also I will be strongly recommending this to my friends. Really awesome trip!”
“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.”
“This tour was indeed private, and extremely well managed from point of booking all the way to the end. Once we made the booking, a Whatsapp group was created which really gave us confidence in the tour provider and what to expect. We lucky to see 2 beautiful mantas on the tour! It was well paced and managed very well by the guides - In particular, we would like to thank our guide Putu who was very knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of throughout.”

“Amazing tour would definitely recommend it for someone who has 1 day to explore Nusa Penida. We
didn’t get to go snorkeling at Manta Point due to high waves but the other snorkeling sights were
amazing. All the people who helped us during the tour were super punctual and friendly.”
“We had an amazing time on both tours that we did with ForeverVacation and would love to do them again if we visit Bali in the future. Putu took us on both land tours and was the best driver, guide, photographer and friend and we always felt safe and cared for with him. We saw manta rays while snorkelling and it was such an incredible experience. ForeverVacation was very organized and they were flexible with the tours, dates and where we visited. Communication was great through WhatsApp and everyone involved always knew where we were and what we were doing. Thank you so much to everyone who made our trip so great :)”
