Introduction

Thinking about spending a day on Bali’s waters with a mix of fishing, snorkeling, and beachside relaxation? This full-day tour offers a balanced blend of adventure and leisure, perfect for those who love being on the water and want to experience something a bit different from the usual Bali beach scene.

What we particularly like about this trip is how it combines fishing for big game—think marlin and sailfish—with snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. Plus, it includes a delicious fresh-caught fish barbecue on white sandy beaches, which brings the experience full circle.

On the flip side, the early start (as early as 4:00 am pickup) might be a hurdle for some, especially if you’re not a morning person or have a more relaxed vacation pace. Still, if you’re eager to see Bali’s offshore bounty and enjoy a laid-back day with beautiful views, this trip could be just right.

This experience suits travelers looking for an active day, those interested in fishing or snorkeling, and anyone wanting to enjoy authentic Bali coastal scenery without sacrificing comfort. It’s especially appealing for adventurous couples, groups of friends, or even solo travelers eager to connect with local guides and nature.

Setting Sail on Bali’s Waters

When you sign up for this full-day trip, you’re signing up for more than just a fishing expedition. You’re stepping onto a boat with experienced guides who know these waters intimately. Their local knowledge isn’t just about where to find fish but also about ensuring your safety and comfort during the day.

Starting early at around 6:00 am, you’ll be picked up from your hotel—whether in Sanur, Ubud, or Candidasa—and driven to the boat launch site. The early start is a key part of the experience; Bali’s offshore waters are calmer and more productive in the morning, increasing your chances of landing a marlin or sailfish.

The boat itself is equipped with the necessary gear for both fishing and snorkeling, including safety life jackets. With a minimum of two people, the group remains intimate enough to enjoy personalized attention, but large enough to make it feel like a shared adventure.

The Fishing Experience — A Chance at the Big One

Once on the water, your guides will share secrets and techniques that elevate your chances of catching big game fish. Bali is renowned for its world-class fishing, especially for species like marlin, mahi mahi, grouper, and sailfish. The experience is tailored to all levels—beginners will appreciate the guidance, while seasoned anglers might enjoy the challenge of local hotspots.

The reviews highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the guides, with one noting, “The guides were so nice and tend to every helpful moment.” The anticipation of hauling in a sizable marlin or sailfish adds excitement, but even if you don’t land a trophy, the thrill of trying in such a stunning setting is worth it.

Snorkeling in Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun

After a couple of hours fishing, your tour will include two snorkeling stops—first at Blue Lagoon Beach, then at Tanjung Jepun. These spots are renowned for their clear water, colorful coral reefs, and abundant marine life.

At Blue Lagoon Beach, you’ll have about an hour to explore underwater, looking for cuttlefish, angel fish, and moray eels. The reef here is vibrant, and the underwater scenery is something you’ll remember long after your fins are dried.

Next, at Tanjung Jepun, another hour of snorkeling allows you to see more corals and marine creatures like beef fish and cuttlefish. The reviews praise the snorkeling for its stunning views, noting that this part of the trip offers an authentic glimpse of Bali’s marine biodiversity.

Lunch and Relaxation — A Feast on the Beach

One of the highlights of this tour is the barbecue of your own catch on a picturesque white sand beach. After the activities, you’ll unwind with swimming and a leisurely lunch, often featuring your freshly caught fish—cooked to perfection by local beach restaurants.

The inclusion of a breakfast box, mineral water, and plenty of time to relax makes this a well-rounded day. The trip’s pace allows for a break from the water, so you can soak in the scenery, swim, or just lie in the sun.

The Practicalities — What You Need to Know

The tour’s cost of $99 per person covers nearly everything: transport, fishing and snorkeling gear, safety equipment, breakfast, lunch, and mineral water. This makes it a good value considering the full day of activities and the personalized service.

Pickup times are early, with Sanur at 4:00 am, Ubud at 4:30 am, and Candidasa at 5:30 am. This allows for a full day on the water, with the trip wrapping up around 4:00 pm. The early start ensures calmer seas and a more productive fishing window, but it does mean you’ll need to plan for an early morning pickup.

The trip is suitable for private groups, and you need to be at least 5 years old to participate. It isn’t recommended for travelers over 70 or with very young children, but otherwise, most active visitors will find this a fun and engaging day.

Authentic Experience and Customer Feedback

Guests consistently praise the guides and overall organization. One reviewer noted, “The guides were so nice and tended to every helpful moment,” emphasizing the attentive service. The trip’s inclusiveness—covering everything from pickup to drop-off—means you can relax and focus on the adventure.

Another guest recounted their experience of taking their fresh-caught fish to a restaurant for cooking, calling it the “highlight” of the day. The emphasis on local seafood and genuine encounters with Bali’s coastal life adds value beyond just fishing and snorkeling.

The Sum Up — Is This Tour for You?

This Bali full-day trip offers a harmonious mix of adventure, relaxation, and authentic local flavor. It’s ideal for travelers wanting to try their hand at fishing, explore underwater scenes, and enjoy a scenic beachside feast. The early start and full day of activities are perfect for those eager to make the most of their Bali vacation with a well-rounded experience.

If you’re looking for a high-value, engaging day on the water that combines thrill with laid-back beach time, then this tour hits the mark. The professional guides, stunning views, and opportunities to catch and cook your own fish make it stand out.
