Another Style to Enjoy Bali - Part II: Snorkeling at Beautiful Menjangan Island




In brief:

Menjangan Island is a small beautiful island located in west of Bali and it is famous with diving spot point with beautiful corals and fishes. Menjangan means deer in bahasa. I heard there's 400 deers in the island. Yes, I saw few of them when i was there. Unfortunately, we arrived around 4.30  pm WITA, we couldn't explore the island. I thought we're gonna snorkeling only an hour but we finished at  7.00 pm. Yes, it's already dark, but 100 % FUN.

Activity: Diving, Snorkeling, Jungle Tracking and Bird Watching.

Eat: RM Nyiur Melambai Jl. Raya Denpasar – Gilimanuk

How to get there:

Follow direction from Denpasar to Gilimanuk, North of Bali. We used GPS to guide us from Denpasar to Gilimanuk. After you reach Gilimanuk, you have to find Labuan Lalang, it's about 10 KM from Gilimanuk.

Spend:

Boat + snorkel + fin + tour guide fee : IDR 500.000 for 4 peoples after we bargained the beginning price. :)
Rent Car IDR 160.000/Day (Karimun)
Gasoline IDR 123.000 - Full tank
Total cost happiness and fun: PRICELESS

Tips:

- Take morning trip from Denpasar to Gilimanuk, i suggest you start at 6 am.
- Bring waters and snack along the trip because it takes 3 until 6 hours drive, it depends your car type.
- Bargain is important.

Up in The Air

Be careful the muse you choose for you will become like them. Since Up In The Air was released nine years ago, Ryan Bingham is a character who inspires people to be frequent flyer who fly domestic or international. A frequent flyer, Ryan has no fixed abode, relishes his travels, and desires to become the seventh and youngest person to earn ten million frequent flyer miles with American Airlines. Big fantasy for everyone, right?

What about me? My name is Rama Kristian. I train and develop people across East Indonesia for living. Traveling is part of the job. Can you guess? How many flights are done in past two years? More than hundred. Flying is for everyone these day, but hundred flights for past two years, welcome to miles high club. Like Ryan, I fly with the national airline of  Indonesia as a business traveler. After you take off, a video was shown to you about all its exclusive privileges being a member. I experience what you see in the video. From priority check-in, boarding, an…

Don’t come as a tourist when you’re in Bali! That’s rule #1 you must to think about. I often see feed or instastories of friends or strangers who visit mainstream tourist attractions  while in Bali. Come on! Research! RESEARCH! Research! A proper research and planning will make your holiday different because Bali offers seething culture, delicious food, and exhilarating adventures, but the hardest part of planning a trip is research, planning, and executing your itinerary. Itinerary planning process requires more effort, time, and concentration to ensure your travel plans as you want it.
Where do i start research?
Instagram. Use hashtag for example #bali to discover places you never knew existed. You will be surprised. Follow the most popular travel account or influencers, they cover a grand opening of new place, guide you to exotic places, give reference you nice restaurant, and endorse you to best spa in the island. Follow me on instagram @ramakristian to see Bali from different an…

Should i travel to a new country or explore my own country?

An interesting question for us to answer, should I travel to a new country or explore my own country? Traveling to another country is easy nowadays because the airlines offer affordable price to travel from one country to another. People often call it backpacking, a form of  low-cost, or independent travel. They say Go See The World! an inspirational quote that encourage people to go abroad. Asia is an alternative to backpacking because it offers a low cost of living, a new culture will be more interesting and challenge you more, an exotic beach that hidden in every country, and unique food that tempts our tongues. Unlike the rich or high society, they travel abroad because other countries offer shopping paradise, to stay in luxury hotel, to watch concert their favorite band, to party like a rock star, to donate money for charities and to get the nose done. Everyone has a reason to travel abroad.
The next question is how well you know your country? A questions might bothers you becau…
