This day was spectacular. We had the best time with our guides junaidi, Yana and Ilham who from the start did everything they could to make our day special and they succeeded. They were really informative about local culture and customs and we visited 5 of the beautiful secret Gilis, stopping to snorkel at the best spots. They pointed out a turtle and various highlights of the myriad of colourful fish and coral we saw. Lunch was a feast, including fresh coconut and barbecue fish, and we sat on top of the boat like King and Queen as we ferried between islands. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, but the real value was in the friends we made today. Thanks so much, guys ❤️

Excellent service. We booked our snorkeling trip the day before and we had the confirmation and a message from our driver straight away. Our driver/guide (Gede) was fantastic and the snorkeling guide was the best. We wouldn't of ever spotted a sea turtle without him, we are very grateful. He also captured some amazing footage of us in the water. An experience we will never forget.

My family and I had a wonderful time with Bale Laut. All the guides are professional, helpful and we truly felt cared for throughout. They truly cater to our needs of our group with elderly and kids. The tour is definitely recommended for everyone to see the less ventured part of the island. It was beautiful and worth the trip! The photographer/videographer took so much efforts to capture memories for us which we deeply appreciate. Thank you to the whole team for making a core memory for us! We will definitely book again to try out other tours when we can :)

Beautiful island. Great snorkeling at Manta Bay - we were able to see manta rays. At two other snorkeling stops we saw different types of fish and the reefs. I feel like we could have spent more than 20 min snorkeling at Manta Bay because we had 30 min of free time between lunch and the start of the sightseeing tour. The island sightseeing was good, but I feel like the duration of the tour allows to add more sights.

One thing I learned is that the locals truly are people of the sea and can hold their breath for so long! This snorkel tour is door to door service that brings you to snorkel sites at all 3 Gilli islands. Our guide not only has such great free diving skills, he has a whole content get up with go pro and dome shield to get amazing footage of you swimming with fishes & turtles to never forget this experience! Water was stunning shades of blue and weather was great, also lunch on Gilli T was AMAZING. Super tasty and great after a morning of swimming. You also get time to explore the island and can go cycling or shopping for souvenirs if you wish to. On our day, currents were slightly strong, and not best for beginner swimmers, but they do provide life jackets. Statue point was understandably filled with other snorkelers so go in with realistic expectations. all round super fun to island hop on your own boat with your friends, though it is more touristy, it is popular for a reason, and still worth your half day!

Really carefree day. Jero our driver was phenomenal and made the long drive from the hotel so enjoyable (each party gets their own car to the location). The snorkeling got us SO CLOSE to all kinds of colourful fish. The traditional boat was fun. And for those who couldn’t swim, the guides went with them and made it possible for everyone to experience. The guides were guided by the group as to when we were ready to move to the next spot so that was great. The lunch was delicious with your choice of menu at a local cafe. The price was so good given it included lunch and literally 4 hours of driving us to and from our hotel in Jimbaran which was literally 2 hours from the location. Would definitely recommend.
