An English-speaking guide helps you find turtles, coral, and fish, while optional transfers add Tirta Gangga and Virgin Beach. GoPro hire may be available, and guides such as Karma, Nyoman, and Wayan Sue are praised for their care.

“We chose the option with transfer from Ubud. Our Driver Wayan was exceptional! Easy to talk to, gave us a lot of information about life in Bali and their customs. The snorkeling itself was great. The boat crew was knowledgeable and helpful. We snorkelled at 4 spots and managed to see turtles AND dolphins! One note: the facilities are not the greatest so be prepared. The Driver took us to a great lunch spot where we had a lovely meal. I highly recommend this activity and I wouldnt think twice to do this again :)”

“We very enjoyed the trip with Depus! Everything was very good organized, he accompanied us in every place and took us to additional temple while going back to our hotel, as we decided not to wait 2h in Gate of Heaven for the photo and finished the trip earlier than expected. We fully recommend!”

4.Eastern Bali and Pura Besakih Temple Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · 10 hours · from $42

Travel privately from your Bali hotel to Penglipuran Village, its bamboo forest, Pura Besakih, scenic Rendang for lunch, and Tukad Cepung Waterfall. An English or Indonesian-speaking guide such as Dena, Kadek, Desy, or Jordi leads the day. Expect long drives, temple rules, walking, and extra costs for lunch and entry tickets.

“Kadek was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, took me to many places of interest and as I was the only person on the tour, there was some flexibility in the itinerary. It was a shame about the weather, but there were torrential downpours everyday while I was in Ubud so I had no choice. Definitely pick a day where the weather conditions are more favourable, especially to see the waterfall.”
