Early light slices across Benoa Bay and the glass-bottom boat hums toward the reef; salt and mangrove tannin mingle in the air as fish swirl beneath the hull. This short cruise pairs shallow-water snorkeling at protected coral bommies with a calm glide through the mangrove forest — two coastal ecologies in one half-day.

A snug mask prevents leaks and fogging—ask guides for fit checks before entering the water.
Time your trip with tides
Higher tides make the mangrove cruise smoother and can improve snorkeling visibility around shallow bommies.

Local warungs and souvenir stalls near the pier accept cash; keep ID handy for pickup verification.
