How the Blue Lagoon Snorkeling Tour Works

Four steps from Bali hotel to Padangbai's calm reefs.

  1. Hotel Pickup & Drive to Padangbai

    Your driver collects you from your hotel in south Bali — about 1.5 hours east to Padangbai port on the coast.

  2. Walk to Blue Lagoon Beach

    Blue Lagoon is a small hidden bay just 1.5 km northeast of Padangbai port. A short walk or boat ride and you're at the beach — gear up with mask, snorkel, and fins.

  3. Snorkel the Shallow Reefs

    Wade in from the beach into calm, shallow water. Spot clownfish, parrotfish, angelfish, sea turtles, and the occasional octopus among healthy coral gardens just meters from shore.

  4. Lunch & Optional Activities

    Enjoy a set-menu lunch at a local restaurant, then choose an optional add-on — waterfall visit, ATV ride, or river rafting — before the drive back to your hotel.

"We had a most wonderful day on this tour by Blissful paradise. Everything was exactly as described, but actually better. Smooth pick-up from the hotel with a skillful driver Levi, easy transfer to Gili Trawangan, where we had a great experience in good hands of our guide Ijank. He is an amazing guide, eager to help, helped us to see all attractions and did a bunch of great shots and videos under the water. So now we have our great memories documented forever. Would definitely recommend!"

"We had an amazing day!!! We choose the longest version and it was just wonderful. Everything perfectly organized - we were picked at our accommodation and driven into harbour. Everything was explained to us and we just had to sit back and enjoy. Fast boat was very smooth and ride was pleasant. Upon arrival another team member waited for us and showed us the way. Then we boarded a small boat with Guide Ijank and captain. They were very kind and helpful. Guide Ijank did wonderful underwater photos and videos for us!! All in all perfect day! Thank you to entire team."

"We had an amazing experience on the Gili Islands private snorkeling day trip. The marine life was beautiful — we saw turtles and colorful fish — and the water was super clear. The guide was friendly, patient, and made us feel safe at all times. The spots chosen for snorkeling were great and not too crowded, which made the experience even more special. it was a wonderful day and a memorable experience that I would definitely recommend."

"I went offseason to do some snorkeling around Bali. It was raining a lot the night before around Bali but I got lucky and it wasn't raining at all when I went snorkeling. Other guests cancelled fearing the rain so I was the only customer on the boat! Ijank was my guide for today and he and the boat captain were great! They led me around the snorkeling sites to show me cool coral, fish, and statues. Since it did rain, some of the sites were murkier than others so they worked together to tailor the experience to get me to clearer waters. They did their best to find a turtle and eventually I got to see one! Overall great experience and would do again. Highly recommended if you like snorkeling. Also, he took great videos with the GoPro and uses a little USB dongle to give you the videos and pictures directly to the iPhone during lunch time."

"This was hands down thee best experience!! Everything ran smoothly, from hotel pick up, to ferry, to private tour! The guides were awesome! And the real value for me, is being private, the one guide gets in the water with you, guiding you to spots where you can see and experience everything! We were very fortunate to see 7 turtles in the very first spot! And best of all, the guide was with me, handy with his go pro to capture every moment! I didn’t have to worry about capturing the moment, he had it covered and now I have pics to cherish this experience! Whole heartedly recommend this tour and would do it again in a heart beat!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Snorkeling Experience in Gili T!! 🐢 Our family had an absolutely amazing snorkeling trip in Gili T, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide (IG & Sawal) and experience. From start to finish, everything was well organized, relaxed, and very family-friendly. The guides were incredibly kind and patient. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the water, provided life jackets, and helped us spot so much marine life. Seeing turtles swimming so close was truly unforgettable and the highlight of our trip! The snorkeling spots were beautiful, with clear water, colorful fish, and healthy coral reefs. The boat ride was smooth, and the pace of the tour was perfect - not rushed at all. This was one of the best experiences of our vacation and created memories we’ll treasure forever. We highly recommend this snorkeling tour to any family visiting Gili T—professional, fun, and absolutely worth it! 🌊🐢✨"

"We had a great snorkelling experience! Our guide, Ali, was super nice, and he took many pictures of us with the fish, turtles, and statues. The area around the statues was very crowded but that was to be expected. The last stop, the reef, was empty though and it was just us there the whole time. It took about 4 hours in total to get there and back to Padangbai with the fast boat, which was a bit tiring but overall it was definitely worth the trip."

"From start to finish, this tour was absolutely perfect! Our driver Lewi picked us up right on time and was incredibly friendly. The ride to the port was very comfortable, and Lewi took care of everything, making sure we boarded the boat to Gili without any issues. Once we arrived in Gili, the team from the agency greeted us and took us straight to our snorkeling guide, Nine Hunaid. The snorkeling tour was completely personalized, and Nine was so kind and patient with us. He taught us how to duck dive, showed us the right way to breathe and dive underwater, and made us feel safe at all times, which was very important since it was our first time snorkeling. Nine also captured some beautiful videos of us with the turtles and the underwater statues, memories we will truly cherish forever. Everything was seamless and perfectly organized. This was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. 100% recommended!!"
