Itinerary
Day 1
Hotel pickup in Ubud and transfer to Padangbai
Private vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Ubud and transfers you to Padangbai (transfer time ~1–1.5 hours depending on exact pickup location).
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 5–10 minutes before your confirmed pickup time; drivers often call or wait at the hotel entrance.
- Wear swimwear under light clothes to save time — there are limited changing facilities at the beach.
- Keep a small dry bag or sealed plastic bag for phone, ID and cash during the boat transfer.
Meet at Padangbai main beach — briefing & equipment
Arrive at Padangbai main beach; local team issues snorkeling equipment, runs a safety briefing, and introduces the snorkeling guide. Prepare for a short boat transfer to the reef sites.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring your own reef-safe sunscreen and a quick-dry towel — sunscreen is required but should be reef-safe.
- If you need prescription snorkel masks or children's masks, bring them; only standard equipment is supplied.
- Use the beach's public restrooms before boarding; facilities in Padangbai are basic and can be busy.
Snorkeling: Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun (by traditional boat)
Board a traditional boat and visit two top Padangbai snorkeling sites: Blue Lagoon first, then Tanjung Jepun. Professional snorkel instructor accompanies the group and points out marine life and safe routes on the reef.
Tips from local experts:
- Listen to the instructor for the brief on currents and hand signals; stay with your guide throughout each swim.
- Secure loose items and avoid wearing jewelry — small items can get lost while snorkeling.
- If you’re not a confident swimmer, request a life vest from the instructor before entering the water.
Indonesian à la carte lunch on Padangbai beach
Return to shore and enjoy an Indonesian à la carte lunch (local dishes offered). Time provided to rest and change before the return transfer.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have dietary restrictions, notify your guide before boarding so the kitchen can prepare appropriate options.
- Carry some small local cash if you want additional drinks or snacks not included with lunch.
- Rinse saltwater off quickly after snorkeling to avoid irritation; there are rinse points near several beach warungs.
Return transfer to Ubud (drop-off at hotel)
Vehicle returns guests to Ubud hotels. Transfer time typically 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic and exact drop-off points.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect drop-off order to be optimized for route efficiency; allow extra time if you have later onward travel.
- Keep any wet clothing in a plastic bag to avoid dampening other luggage in the vehicle.
- Confirm with the driver approximate arrival time back at your hotel if you have onward plans.

Frequently asked questions
What time do we leave and when are we back? Most all-inclusive snorkeling trips depart around 6–7 AM from Ubud and return by 3–4 PM, accounting for the 90-minute drive to the coast and lunch break.
What if I'm not a confident swimmer? You can snorkel in shallow water near the reef, stay with your guide, and wear a life vest if needed. No minimum experience required; just communicate with your guide.
What's included in "all-inclusive"? TheNextGuide lists tours covering roundtrip transport from Ubud, snorkeling equipment, guide, lunch at a beachside restaurant, and usually a soft drink or two. Check what's specified by your operator for drinks policy.
Is the water cold? Bali's tropical waters stay warm year-round (around 26–28°C), so you'll be comfortable in a swimsuit or thin rash guard.
