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

January 06, 2012

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.
