We really enjoyed this trip! The pontoon made everything very accessible and we had an excellent time. We loved the small tour of Lembongan and the tour length was just about right. We were even able to extend our stay and go to the beach club for an extra hour. This is offered on a first come first basis but was an excellent free addition to our trip. I had debated between the beach club and the pontoon, but I was glad we could do both! Bali Hai cruises was a wonderful experience.

The reef cruise was disappointing. The vessel went in a small circle and we saw very little fish. Much more fish and the people being trained in scuba could be seen from the pontoon's own underwater viewing area._br/_ I was 'chicken' and never tried the huge slide into the sea, but it looked like fun. I never saw anyone repeat the experience though._br/_ A lot to do if you wanted to keep busy. A fun day.

we paid $175 Aus each to see some dead white coral 20 metres below the surface. If you like thrills, don and #39;t go on the banana boat. The blow up banana boat took us on a leasurley 5km/h circle route around the boat. The walking tour was a tour of the local mini mart.. cost way too much for what it is

The Island was so beautiful.
Review by: Anne H, March 2017
This was a good trip but not a great one. When we arrived at the port there was a notice saying that the submersible coral viewer wouldn't be available as it was being repaired. After a comfortable trip to the pontoon I went over to book a parasail only to be told that there would be no parasailing that day, no explanation was given as to why. This was disappointing, as this was one of the extra activities that I was really keen on. The snorkelling was quite nice but there was a fair bit of sea lice in the water making it a little uncomfortable. I tried the waterslide and banana boat ride but there also appeared to be quite a bit of waiting around on the pontoon. I enjoyed the Island tour but a couple of others with me thought it was a little lame. Lunch at the resort was ok but they also ran out of food and there was quite a wait while more food was cooked. After lunch we were dropped back at the pontoon and it appeared that parasailing would be available. I rushed over to purchase a ticket and was able to go. The disappointing part was that the photographer didn't make my boat and I missed out on having a photographic memory of this amazing experience. The trip back to port was a little rough with a few passengers suffering from sea sickness this was absolutely no fault of the tour operators but think needs to be mentioned for others who get seasick. So overall I did enjoy this tour but I think it was a little overpriced compared with other Bali tours.

This tour was well organised and I did the dive as the aquanauts were not available that day. _br/_ I had never dived prior to this so it was an amazing experience as the dive instructors were reassuring and guided me throughout my dive to make sure I was comfortable.

We didn't get a message at our hotel about the pick-up for the trip in the morning. I'd expected a note under our door when we got back from dinner. It was out of hours in Bali so I Skype called Viator in in the US. They emailed to service provider, who called our hotel early in the morning and sent a driver to pick us up. problem solved. From there everything else about this tour was fantastic. The Bali Hai staff are professional, friendly and they really work on making your experience the best it can be._br/_ When we boarded there was delicious pastries and coffee or tea awaiting us in the dining room. _br/_ We went out onto the sun deck for the trip to the Lembongan Island trip. We were there in around 45 minutes and docked to a large pontoon complete with water-slide on it. There are:_br/_ ul li change rooms _br/_ lilockers_br/_ litowels for hire_br/_ liBanana sled rides behind a smaller boat_br/_ li safe swimming areas and snorkelling equipment to use_br/_ /ul_br/_ I saw all the masks, wetsuits and snorkels being soaked in cleaning solution for reuse, I suspect it would something like baby bottle sterilising solution._br/_ The ticket includes pretty much all activities except scuba diving lessons and the Aquanaut reef walk._br/_ Lunch was a buffet style with a selection of delicious salads and smoked fish or choices of different curries and rice._br/_ I did the Aquanaut reef walk. I'm over sixty, but up for new adventures. It's one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I cannot do snorkelling or Scuba diving, I have trouble with the mouthpieces, so this was perfect for me. There are so many fish there and they swim right up to you, there's a beautiful coral garden down there. They have a professional photographer who captures all the fun so you can just relax and enjoy the whole experience.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Lisa T, July 2016
Besides the sea sickness this was a very fun day! We did the aquanauts sea floor walk and the tour of the island. Seas are a bit choppy and I wasn and #39;t wearing my sea legs that day. Many people got sea sick so be careful when booking! Other than that it was great :)

The staff were freindly but that is about it._br/_ It is very tired location - terrible snorkelling and would recommend to anyone not to go on this tour.
Review by: Emlyn T, July 2016
It was a good day out to sea, but I was disappointed with the visibility underwater which the organizers may not be able to do much about and the restricted area in which we could snorkel.

Fabulous day. Very enjoyable.Carol. 14/6/2016

The snorkeling visibility was not great and there was some trash floating around in the snorkeling area._br/_ The banana boat was a timid ride. I think the boat was not powerful enough to pull the banana boat....we hardly moved. We saw absolutely nothing from the coral viewer but a few fish, not worth the time. The lunch was great and the staff were friendly and the day was very well organised, but the activities were unfortunately not a highlight of our trip.

This was a really awesome day. The local tour operator is very professional. I was picked up from my hotel in Denpassar._br/_ I enjoyed the activities on the pontoon and would recommend this to families with children/ teenagers or people who love water sports. It was a great day on the water._br/_ The meals were good and the additional excursions were reasonably priced and well managed.

Awesome experience, lots of activities to do. Highly recommend.
Review by: Marie y, September 2015
The day we went some of the attractions weren't on offer, and the snorkelling was very limited as it was really just around the pontoon as that's where they feed the fish. The original boat was broken do we had a slower boat, no lunch on board, but actually the on shore venue they took us was nicer than being on the pontoon so we decided to stay there and no one at all on out trip went back to the pontoon for the afternoon, just stayed at a nearby resort. It was a bit f a disappointment to be honest. But crew nice and friendly and good was very good.

The trip on the boat made me sick, but there were many things to do. I liked it it.
