The 4-hour coastal cruise is the cheapest way to get a yacht to yourselves for a swim and a snorkel — take it in the afternoon slot and it becomes our sunset cruise. The 8-hour day is what you book for Nusa Penida: the crossing takes about an hour each way depending on the sea, which still leaves a proper day of manta rays, cliffs and reefs.
An 8-Hour Nusa Penida Day: Sample Timing
- 07:30 Optional hotel pick-up (private transfer add-on, from $50).
- 08:30 Board at Serangan harbour, safety briefing, snorkel gear sized.
- 09:45 Arrive at Nusa Penida — first stop Manta Point.
- 11:30 Snorkel at Crystal Bay's calm, clear reef.
- 13:00 Anchor in a sheltered bay for lunch — bring your own or pre-arrange options with us.
- 14:00 Photo run past the Kelingking cliffs, swim or sunbathe on deck.
- 15:30 Head back across the strait.
- 16:30 Back at Serangan, drive to the hotel.
4-hour coastal option: on the water by 08:30, two swim and snorkel stops along the coast, back at the dock by 12:30 — before the afternoon wind picks up. Or take the same 4 hours in the sunset slot, approx. 14:30–18:30.
