**A Bali private boat charter snorkeling package books a whole speedboat or day-cruiser for your group alone — not a shared seat — with mask, fins, a snorkel guide and three guided in-water stops at Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh included. As of 2026 these full private days run roughly IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 44,500,000 (about USD 500 to USD 2,500) per boat from Sanur, Serangan or Benoa.**
Baruna Boat Co arranges these day trips as whole-boat charters priced per vessel, so a family of five and a group of fifteen pay for the same boat, not per head. Reservations are handled directly by the Bali Premium Trip desk, and boats are arranged through vetted, licensed local partners. Below is exactly what the snorkeling package covers, where it goes, and what it costs — with figures attributed to their sources and dated, because rates change.
What comes inside the snorkeling package?
Every private snorkel charter Baruna Boat Co arranges is built around gear-included, guide-led sessions rather than a “drop and swim” boat ride. The core package covers the items below; anything the boat does not own outright is arranged via a vetted licensed partner.
| Inclusion | What you get |
|---|---|
| Snorkel gear | Mask, snorkel and fins in adult and child sizes, per guest |
| Buoyancy aid | Life jacket or floatation vest for every passenger |
| Snorkel guide | In-water guide who leads all three stops and watches the group |
| 3 snorkel sessions | Three separate guided stops at different reefs, not one long swim |
| Reef-safe briefing | Pre-swim rules: no touching or standing on coral, reef-safe sunscreen encouraged |
| Fresh water & towels | Drinking water on board; towels on cabin day-cruisers |
| Crew | Licensed captain plus deckhand; whole boat is yours for the day |
Reef-safe practice is not decoration here. Guests get a short briefing before the first stop covering fin control, keeping off the coral, and using reef-safe sunscreen where possible. Manta encounters at Manta Bay are wild-animal sightings, so we describe them as likely in season — never guaranteed.
Which snorkel sites will the boat reach?
The classic snorkel package is a Sanur-to-Nusa Penida loop. According to the crossing times published by Sanur-based operators, a speedboat covers Sanur to Nusa Penida in roughly 30 to 45 minutes, which leaves the bulk of the day for water time. Your three sessions are typically spread across the island’s headline reefs:
- Manta Point / Manta Bay — the reason many groups book: reef mantas cruising cleaning stations, seasonal and weather-dependent.
- Crystal Bay — calm, clear water and easy entry, strong for first-time and younger snorkelers.
- Toyapakeh — coral gardens and reef fish along the Penida–Lembongan channel.
Groups extending the day can add a Nusa Penida land run to Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong, hop across to Nusa Lembongan for the Yellow Bridge and mangroves, or keep it on the south-Bali coast past Uluwatu, Jimbaran Bay, Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua. Tell the desk which stops matter most and the itinerary is built around them.
What does a private snorkeling-package charter cost?
Because you charter the whole boat, the honest way to compare is per-boat, not per-person. The table below draws on public 2026 “start from” rates and is subject to change; final quotes depend on vessel, group size and season.
| Vessel (source) | Capacity | Private day rate (per boat) | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12m speedboat — Sanur Water Activities | up to ~12 | from IDR 8,000,000 | Speed, sun deck with bean bags |
| 13m semi-yacht — Sanur Water Activities | up to ~12 | from IDR 9,000,000 | Air-con cabin, karaoke, flat TV |
| Monohull SW3 — Parahu.com | 15 pax | IDR 11,900,000 | Larger groups on a budget |
| Private Penida yacht — Bluuu Tours | per boat | from IDR 13,000,000 (≈ USD 750) | Yacht-style comfort |
| Accura 39 — Blue Marlin Bali | up to 17 | from USD 950 (8-hr full day) | Branded cruiser, full Penida day |
| Catamaran JEM — Parahu.com | 14 pax | IDR 34,500,000 | Stable deck for families |
| JA — Parahu.com | 35 pax | IDR 44,500,000 (for 25 pax) | Large private charters |
For context, Sanur Water Activities lists its trips as “Private speed boat from Bali” starting at its Sanur counter, with hotel pickup an extra IDR 250,000 per car. Blue Marlin Bali advertises the Accura 39 from USD 750 for a four-hour sunset run or USD 950 for an eight-hour Nusa Penida day, and Bluuu Tours prices private Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000 (about USD 750). Parahu.com publishes a full per-boat pricelist — from the Monohull SW3 at IDR 11,900,000 up to the JA at IDR 44,500,000 — with bookings via WhatsApp.
Where per-boat pricing pays off: a shared per-person Nusa Penida day (Viator lists one premium option from USD 73.62 per person) is cheaper for a couple, but for a group of eight or more the private boat usually costs less per head — and you keep the reef stops, timing and playlist to yourselves.
What does the snorkel day look like hour by hour?
Sanur Water Activities publishes a sample Sanur-to-Penida day that is a good template for a full snorkel charter. Times flex with your group and the weather:
- 07:00 — hotel pickup (optional add-on)
- 08:00 — briefing at the Sanur counter, gear fitted
- 08:30 — sailing to Nusa Penida
- 09:30 — swim with manta rays at Manta Bay (seasonal, not guaranteed)
- 10:30 & 11:30 — two more guided snorkel sessions
- 12:00 — lunch at Maruti Beach Club
- 14:00 — Kelingking Beach
- 15:00 — Broken Beach
- 16:00 — final snorkel session
- 17:00 — sail back to Sanur
- 17:45 — hotel drop-off
