The waters around Nusa Penida are among the region’s best-known places for manta encounters. These huge animals can span several metres and move so smoothly they seem to fly underwater.
Snorkelling and diving boats visit Manta Point. When conditions align, mantas may pass close by, creating one of a Bali trip’s strongest memories.
They are wild animals, not an attraction. Never touch, chase or block them. Currents can also be powerful, so go with a professional operator and follow the crew’s instructions.
