Nusa Penida all-day tour: Manta rays, turtles, Kelingking and Broken Beach

A totally awesome day. A full morning snorkeling 3 different sites. Lunch. Then a land tour. We were whipped by the end... and then the 'road' getting to our Tanah Damai hotel - it about broke us, lol!  We lucked out again with this place...mostly because we were situated near a great beach at Gamat Bay and near Amok Sunset Bar and Restaurant where we had dinner (and the next day too!). Please don't hate us!

Today's highlights: Snorkeling with 2 manta rays, sea turtles, corals, fishes galore at 3 snorkel sites: Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Gamat Bay. Then lunch. Then into the land tour - Kelingking overlook (yeah, the instagram one!), then Angel Billibong and Broken Beach- stunning coastal formation and the bluest water ever. 

Feeling super grateful. It’s a lovely place - but not for the faint of heart!!

Meanwhile, Sara just got here. (Too late to get to the island tonight but she'll get a ferry in the morning and join us at the hotel. Yeay!!)

Our guide and snorkel buddies got some great footage of the mantas and sea turtle!

One of the mantas! 

I so wish I brought an underwater camera. Beautiful - beautiful corals and reef fish!

Manta #2!

Gamat Bay snorkel site. We returned the next day - it's the nearest to our hotel (how lucky!)

A stop for lunch and onto the land part of the tour.

Kelingking ("clinking") Beach 

Kelingking! You can see the T-Rex head shape! 

Could not get enough of this view...
