Blue Lagoon Snorkeling & Scenic Ubud Waterfalls — Full‑Day All‑Inclusive Tour from Bali
Select participants and date
You step out of the minivan before dawn and the east coast of Bali opens like a different country: low cliffs cut into an electric sea and a handful of fishing boats rocking in a glassy inlet. By the time the boat eases away from the shore at Bali's Blue Lagoon, the first sunlight has sharpened the reef into shadows and color. Fish dart under your fins, curious and unafraid; the water seems to hold the whole island’s heat and light.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use only reef‑safe sunblock to protect coral — apply before you get to the water and reapply after snorkeling.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shorelines and slippery waterfall paths make closed-toe water shoes useful for walking to and from boats and pools.
Hydrate and pace yourself
You’ll be snorkeling for roughly two hours total and walking between waterfall viewpoints; carry water and rest between activities.
Protect your camera
Bring a waterproof case or dry bag — the best underwater shots come from protected gear, and changing rooms are available after snorkeling.

Conservation
Operators encourage reef‑safe sunscreen and no‑touch rules for coral; follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact and support local waste‑management efforts.
