We have no words to describe it! it was an AMAZING day! the whole crew were super duper attentive and with great energy. Rafie and Sabri ( awesome DJ) were new level, specially with our 4 year old twins ! they played in the water, they took them back to the boat so we could snorkel a little by ourselves! We could not be more thankful. Time in the water was not as much as we wished, due to the location of the island, but that was very clear from the moment we were inquiring. Everything they told us would happen it happened. If we go back, there is no doubt we will be exploring the waters with them again. Recommend 100%

We went on a full day tour with the company Lovely tours
To Mantanani island , we had a private driver pick us up in a very clean car for a 2 hour trip to the jetty , at the jetty they had a lovely spot for us to wait including very clean toilets and showers , the trip in the lovely pink boat was pretty smooth even though there was a bit of waves the island was beautiful so clean , fantastic toilets and showers , huge undercover area for a big buffet lunch , unlimited water and juice as well as a shop with bathers , rashies , towels , hats ,snack and soft drink
A lot of beach lounges with umbrellas and cute swings for photos , the water is so beautiful and crystal clear , they took us out in the boat to two different snorkelling spots , so many colourful fish and coral , the occasional jellyfish but they were always watch from the boat and warning us if one came close by , for people not confident in swimming or snorkelling, life jackets were supplied and worn and the tour guides got in the water and showed them the best parts including a whole heap of Nemo ( clown fish ) then after several hours back to the island for a buffet lunch and then free time to explore the island or relax on the beach
Over all it was a really fantastic day 100% I would do it again
Take hats , towel and rashie plus lots of sun cream it’s very easy to burn when snorking , you don’t realise because the water is so cool
