Explore vibrant marine life in Bali's Blue Lagoon - Snorkel among colorful corals and fishes with Gordo Bali Tours.

We did the snorkelling half day trip at Blue Lagoon. The driver who picked us up was friendly and nice. It took us 1.5+ hour drive from Nusa Dua to get to the boat - this is my fault as I should’ve checked beforehand how long the drive was. 
 When we got there, we had to get ready in an alley - put on sunscreen, be in our bathing suits, try on the flippers etc. I’m pretty sure Gordo Bali had outsourced this snorkelling trip to another company. We then walked 3 minutes to a small motor boat. I enjoyed the 5 minute ride on the boat to the Blue Lagoon. On the boat, there was only the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 young kids), and the boat driver. The boat driver didn’t speak any English. I had expected to have a better experience - with a guide that helped us out a bit more. It was clear we were struggling with the kids masks and snorkels, and the boat driver didn’t really help us. My mask was steaming up and getting cloudy - no soap or anything on board to clear them. 
 He pointed us in the direction of where we should swim (lots of boats around) and then relaxed on the boat. Once in a while he’d give a little shout if we were swimming out of the snorkel zone. Ge did help us up onto the boat though when we were done, 
 We were also given a plastic bottle filled with bread snorkel in water to feed the fish. I didn’t like this as it’s not good to feed fish bread - so was a bit disappointed about that. My husband brought the bottle into the water just to see how the fish would react (but didn’t open it) - the fish went nuts and swarmed him! So they’re obviously used to ppl feeding them. 
 The blue lagoon was ok - fine for the kids very first snorkel as no big waves or current. Some stuff to see (we saw lots of parrot fish, a Picasso trigger fish, a small eel etc), but not really worth the trip if you’re someone who snorkels a lot. 
 After snorkelling in the one spot for just under 2 hours, we went back to shore. A nice lady took us to some nearby basic showers with a changing room, and lent us towels. Overall was underwhelming, and not really worth the time or money.

Our guide was exactly what we needed. Picked us up from the airport and dropped us to our accomodation in Uluwatu. 
 He was helpful and friendly. Perfect for taking worry out of organising taxi or Gojek.

My first booking via SeekSophie. Edi was very responsive on the messaging and i s accommodating. The price was competitive and I felt better to have a driver already pre-arranged. It was nice to receive a photo of where I would meet the driver. The driver was very professional and friendly. I plan to use Gordo Bali Tour for my future transportation needs.

Gordo's team are super responsive, accommodating and friendly. If you have an idea of what you'd like to do, they are happy to accommodate and provide other suggestions too. We knew we wanted to do the Monkey Forest, rice terrace and market. We have 2 kids, so tubing was suggested but unfortunately we couldnt fit it in. Ketut was our lovely driver, friendly and a great guide. The only downside was the traffic but that's out of our control. I highly recommend Gordo's Bali Tour for their friendly service.

Our driver, Derick was wonderful and very friendly. He was professional and very helpful in explaining things and showing us best spots. Would recommend Gordo Bali Tours and hope to use them again on the next trip for more!

I have just come on vacation with some friends and we really wanted to do something different, we booked Gordo Bali Tours and we had the best two day’s of our trip. We couldn’t recommend it more! Eddie was the nicest person ever and made sure we had the best time.

Went down to Bali as a present for finishing year 12 with my sister and her boyfriend. Was dreading having a tour guide who couldn't speak English well but Gordo Bali Tours not only relieved me of my dread but showed me an excellent time!

We used Gordo while on holiday in Bali. It was my first time and my experience was nothing but pure enjoyment.Our drivers were very informative and genuine, nothing was ever a issue when it came to our needs and wants and everything was prepared and planned prior to us landing.we were picked up from the airport and dropped off on departure and we picked alot of activities and didn't organize a thing because it was all done for us at excellent prices. A major plus for us was feeling safe at all times, relaxed and well looked after. Wouldn't use anyone else. Thank you Gordo transport x

Real care and great service
 Edi arranged Artana to be our driver and he was excellent. Artana picked up my elderly father from airport and made sure he was assisted with check in at our hotel as we arrived later.
 He was always on time (if not early) and made sure nothing was ever an issue. A great driver who knows the hectic roads of Bali very well.
 Edi also suggested a number of tours and knew all the things to suit our family. Highly recommended!
