My husband and I had a great time on this excursion! Transportation from the hotel to the ports and back was seamless with excellent communication.
Putu was incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable during our drive around the land. He even lent us his personal money so we could use the toilet when we arrived.
The snorkeling was definitely more challenging than I anticipated with strong currents, deeper depths, and cold waters. We both love snorkeling so we booked a private boat in hopes we would have the best experience possible, but sadly the snorkeling company made us feel rushed and the diver was not very helpful in guiding us to good places. We saw no mantas but lots of fish and a turtle when the diver finally got in the water with some bread toward the end. The company was not rude, but they definitely were not as caring as Putu which was slightly disappointing.
Putu picked us up and helped arrange for an earlier ferry since our snorkeling adventure wasn’t very long.
All in all a great trip to Nusa Penida! A beautiful island that is definitely a little less developed than Bali.
