We went on a full day tour with the company Lovely tours
To Mantanani island , we had a private driver pick us up in a very clean car for a 2 hour trip to the jetty , at the jetty they had a lovely spot for us to wait including very clean toilets and showers , the trip in the lovely pink boat was pretty smooth even though there was a bit of waves the island was beautiful so clean , fantastic toilets and showers , huge undercover area for a big buffet lunch , unlimited water and juice as well as a shop with bathers , rashies , towels , hats ,snack and soft drink
A lot of beach lounges with umbrellas and cute swings for photos , the water is so beautiful and crystal clear , they took us out in the boat to two different snorkelling spots , so many colourful fish and coral , the occasional jellyfish but they were always watch from the boat and warning us if one came close by , for people not confident in swimming or snorkelling, life jackets were supplied and worn and the tour guides got in the water and showed them the best parts including a whole heap of Nemo ( clown fish ) then after several hours back to the island for a buffet lunch and then free time to explore the island or relax on the beach
Over all it was a really fantastic day 100% I would do it again
Take hats , towel and rashie plus lots of sun cream it’s very easy to burn when snorking , you don’t realise because the water is so cool
