Boat anchored off a white-sand island with dramatic cliffs and turquoise water

The Nusa islands off Bali's south-east coast are some of the most dramatic scenery in Indonesia — sheer cliffs, electric-blue water and reefs thick with manta rays and turtles. A private island-hopping charter strings the best of them together in a single day, anchoring where the big tour boats can't and letting you swim, snorkel and beach-stop on your own clock.

What This Charter Includes

The Nusa Islands

Nusa Penida's cliffs and Manta Point, Lembongan's mangroves and surf, and Ceningan's blue lagoon — the classic three-island loop.

Snorkel Stops

Calm, reef-rich anchorages for snorkelling with mantas, turtles and coral, with gear and a watchful deckhand provided.

Hidden Bays

Quiet coves and white-sand beaches the day-trippers miss, reached because you're on a private boat, not a fixed tour.

Full-Day Comfort

Lunch on board, shade, fresh water and a relaxed pace — a real day out, not a rushed checklist of photo stops.

A Route Built for the Day

Conditions decide the best order, so the skipper plans your loop around the wind, tide and where the mantas are running. A typical day might start with a dawn crossing to Manta Point, move to a sheltered reef for snorkelling and lunch, then drift past the cliffs of Kelingking before heading home in the afternoon light — all without sharing your boat with anyone else.

Why Go Private

Public island tours herd you between the same crowded spots on a fixed clock. A private charter lets you linger where it's beautiful, skip what doesn't interest you, and reach anchorages the bigger boats can't. For snorkellers, photographers and families, the freedom completely changes the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which islands do you visit?
Most charters cover the Nusa group — Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan — including Manta Point, snorkel reefs and quiet bays. We tailor the loop to conditions and what your group wants to see.
Will we see manta rays?
Often, yes. Manta Point off Nusa Penida is one of the most reliable spots in the region, especially in the morning. Sightings are never guaranteed, but the crew knows where to look.
How long is an island-hopping day?
Usually a full day of around eight hours, including the crossing, several snorkel and beach stops, and lunch on board. We start early to get ahead of the crowds and the afternoon wind.
Is snorkelling gear provided?
Yes — masks, snorkels and fins are included, and a deckhand stays in the water with less confident swimmers. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel.
