I've done the Ocean rafting twice, then did the Bali Hai Pontoon last year because we had <12 yrs old with us.
Ocean rafting:
Firstly the speed of the boat is great fun to begin with. Then we saw Nusa Penida's cliffs which are awesome. After this you get to snorkel twice at spots that are selected for the day depending on conditions - they choose safer/better viewing spots. Lunch is DELICIOUS. You can also go and visit the seaweed farming village (once was enough for me). Then an hour or so on the beach.
So the rafting IS more scenic and I found the snorkelling MUCH better with the rafting - I was quite disappointed with the pontoon's.
