Its a lifetime experience to swim with Manta Rays. I will never forget this feeling.
My friend Dex Arsana who works with me as a driver for all our Bali visitors sent this amazing photo via Nusa Penida where he was born.
One of the attractions we arrange for our guests is the chance to enjoy this fun activity.
In all those years living in Bali I only was able to catch those moments once. First I was a bit scared because I am much better over water than under. It is an unforgettable adventure for sure!
It was AMAZING!!!!
Take a ride ......
Once in Bali, you have the option to take a boat we book for you, daily tours from Bali with departure in the mornings and return in the afternoon or stay there. You can go to Nusa Lembongan or directly to Nusa Penida.
Arrival in Nusa Lembongan
The harbour is located in Sanur beach where all speedboats are parked. Arsana takes you and gets your tickets, aprox 50 USD/Euro for return.
This is another part of Sanur beach I spent most of my mornings and evenings because my house is just a few minutes away. I am blessed that I experienced such lavish lifestyle for many years. So thankful for those days and times.
Take a walk !
Don't miss out to stay on those 3 islands for at least 2/3 days. Its well worth it. The best weekend trips of my life:)
Here is my previous article about Nusa Penida
Dreaming Of Nusa Penida, One Of The Most Breathtaking Islands Close To Bali In Indonesia
Here you can read a nice story about such trip 1,2,3 .......Dozens of Manta Rays !
If you hire my friend Mogli's small fisher boat you can also see how the locals are planting corals to save their reefs.
Here we are on the way to Nusa Ceningan. Thats how you ride :)
I will show you where we stayed on the smallest of those three islands. I got lots of secret locations to tell you about soon.
Time for a stretch !
Thats it for today

Haha, I will go there with my family so it's going to be a bit "different" from the classical touristic program. To me it feels a bit homelike 😌 But I understand that it's an extreme experience in any sense haha
It's just for one week to be with my lovely brothers and friends who I haven't seen for a while, and then I'll head back to my island hehe

Rays can be very friendly to the extent of allowing you stroke their backs,but on the flip side; Their stings are deadly!
