“The guides were fantastic and communicated quickly on what to expect and the next steps. We enjoyed every bit of the snorkeling and really appreciated all the cool go pro footage and pictures. I highly recommend booking this trip as well as with this company!”
“The trip was so seamless. I was highly impressed by the organization of forever vacation. Itinerary was very clear and concise. I was hesitant as I was doing it as a solo traveller, but it was more than safe with this travel company. The mantarays weren’t out today, but the guide made a great effort to still make sure we saw some cool wildlife such as turtles and other fish. Highly recommend. Aprio and Eka were amazing. Aprio was a great driver/ guide with a great friendly personality.”
“Great snorkeling trip! My fiancé and I did the snorkeling only trip and it was perfect. Very great communication leading up to the trip and throughout the day from Buddy and Boneng. We even got some underwater pictures! Highly recommend for those looking to snorkel as there are 4 stops with lots of swimming time.”
“We did a half day snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida. Our guide and driver, Wayan, was excellent. He communicated with us beforehand to re-confirm the tour and pickup, he arrived early and incredibly friendly and attentive. He was our guide for the whole experience. Wayan answered an our questions, had so much to tell us about Balinese culture and traditions and it was a great learning experience overall, in addition to the snorkeling experience. We could tell that he was genuinely passionate about his work and about making sure we had the opportunity to learn about Bali through the people there. He was professional, friendly, and helpful. The snorkeling itself - the waves I have to say were a bit choppy for my own liking, but the team had previously told us to bring motion sickness medicine in case we need it. I would recommend Wayan to any travel experience in Bali.”
“Gandi and Eka were great tour guides! We had an amazing time despite the waves being big on our day! We saw manta rays, turtles, and tons of tropical fish!!”
“We booked for the Snorkeling Nusa Penida Tour so that we could swim with the giant manta rays. This was their semi-private, small group (max 8 pax) 1/2 day tour which was all water based with 4 snorkelling stops. The communication and organisation from start to finish was outstanding. As soon as we booked, a WhatsApp group was set up to ensure everyone was looped in and all we had to do was enjoy the day.
Aji picked us up from the hotel at 6am for the drive to Sanur. Time for a leisurely breakfast before boarding the ferry over to the island. Once on Nusa Penida we were boarded onto our boat for the morning with Eka as our guide. There were only 4 guests on the boat (plus staff)
The first stop was Manta Bay. Be warned the water can be very, very rough. It was most definitely not calm so if you are expecting to swim in clear, calm water and see mantas swimming around and getting that Insta perfect photo, you will be likely be disappointed. There were very high waves, turbulent water and overall it was very choppy. We asked for life vests and that certainly made it easier while in the water. We did see 2 manta rays which was great, but it was quite tiring being in the water and there were also a lot of boats and tourists in the area all hoping to see rays.
The subsequent stops were much better and more enjoyable. The water was clear and calm, there were less boats and tourists in the water and we got to see an abundance of fish, coral and turtles. Eka was in the water filming and before we had even left Nusa Penida we had been sent photos and video footage which will be a lovely reminder of the trip.
Unfortunately because it was exceedingly rough water conditions (both on the boat and in the water) my friend got very ill - despite taking motion sickness medication. The staff at Forever Vacation went out of their way to get her back to the island early and looked after her until we could catch the ferry back to Sanur.
Despite extreme sea sickness and turbulent water in Manta Bay, it was still a worthwhile experience and Forever Vacation were flawless every step of the way.”
