Safe and relaxed snorkeling Nusa Penida trips with Captain Yin Yang

Local experience that makes the difference
When it comes to snorkeling in Bali, local knowledge is what separates a smooth, memorable day from a rushed or uncomfortable one. While Bali is the destination travellers search for, our snorkeling tours operate from Nusa Lembongan and explore the surrounding Nusa Islands, where sea conditions can change quickly. Understanding daily patterns of swell, wind, and visibility is essential, and this is where real experience on the water matters far more than a fixed itinerary.
Many travellers are drawn to snorkeling Nusa Penida for its rich marine life and clear blue water, but those same conditions require careful planning and flexible decision-making. Routes, timing, and group pace need to respond to real conditions on the day, not expectations set in advance. A well-run trip adapts continuously, choosing locations that suit both the sea and the people on board.
At Captain Yin Yang, trips are led by captains who grew up in these waters and continue to work them daily. That familiarity allows for calmer entries, better positioning, and an experience that feels safe, personal, and genuinely connected to the ocean.

Captain Yin Yang snorkeling and fishing tours was established in 2022 by owner and Captain, Komang Arnaya.
From surfing and fishing as a young boy, Komang went on to become a life guard and divemaster before starting his own business. Komang is a highly regarded Captain and guide around the Nusa Islands with over 15 years experience, which he now passes on to his team.
The name comes from the Yin Yang symbol that was on the first Jukung (traditional wooden outrigger) boat that he started the business. We now have an additional two custom built and modern speed boats.
Captain Komang and his team are all born and bred in Nusa Lembongan.
The team have grown up in the ocean; learning to surf as children and fish with their fathers. Their knowledge of the waters around the Nusa islands has been passed down by generations.
Captain Lox has been navigating the waters around the Nusa Islands for the past three years he is also a keen surfer and has followed in his fathers footsteps who is also a boat Captain.
The highlights of the snorkeling trips are the Manta Rays that can be seen year round. There is a high chance that you will see Manta Rays, but due to them being wild animals we can never guarantee their presence. Manta Bay is condition depending if there are high swells it can at times become inaccessible. The Nusa islands are located within the coral triangle, which is a high marine biodiverse reef system with more than 250 species of fish. The healthy coral reef system offers some of the best snorkeling in Bali with an abundance of tropical fish, turtles and other marine life around Nusa Penida and Lembongan.
Captain Yin Yang offers private snorkeling tours and shared boat tours that are family friendly and can be custom designed to suit your group. First Aid and safety equipment is included on board plus all snorkeling equipment. Our fishing charters include high quality shirmano reels and lures for trolling.
Our team of Captains and guides are passionate about what they do and love to entertain you with their Balinese charm! We can't guarantee the weather or the marine life but we can guarantee a good time!
Nusa Lembongan is a small island located 45 minutes by Fast ferry from Sanur, Bali. We are located on Song Lambung Beach (Coconut Beach) but pick up can be arranged from anywhere in Bali.

Designed for comfort, safety and real enjoyment
A great ocean day is not about how many stops you squeeze in, but how comfortable and confident you feel in the water. For many guests booking snorkeling in Bali, comfort and safety are what allow the experience to truly shine. Shade on the boat, clear briefings, manageable group sizes and flotation options all play a role in how relaxed the day feels.
Trips that include snorkeling Nusa Penida work best when guides stay in the water with the group and adjust the pace to suit mixed ability levels. Feeling supported reduces fatigue, helps guests conserve energy, and allows more time to enjoy the reef rather than worrying about conditions. This approach is especially important for families and first-time snorkelers.
Captain Yin Yang focuses on creating balanced trips where safety and enjoyment go hand in hand. By prioritising preparation and communication, each tour is designed to feel unhurried, well-organised and welcoming, even when the ocean has a bit of movement.

A responsible way to experience the reef
Snorkeling experiences are at their best when they are handled with care for both guests and the marine environment. Anyone interested in snorkeling in Bali is visiting a region of exceptional biodiversity, and small choices in the water can make a big difference to reef health and wildlife behaviour.
Popular areas for snorkeling Nusa Penida are home to coral gardens, turtles, manta rays and hundreds of fish species. Responsible tours emphasise calm movements, respectful distance from wildlife and clear guidance on where to float and how to position fins. These habits not only protect the reef but also create better encounters, as marine life behaves more naturally around relaxed groups.
Captain Yin Yang integrates responsible practices into every trip, from briefings to site selection. By combining local knowledge with a respectful approach, guests are able to enjoy the ocean in a way that feels meaningful, safe and sustainable for future generations.
