Explore Nusa Lembongan
BALI PROVINCE
BALI PROVINCE
Though no longer the secret paradise it once was, Bali‘s tiny neighbouring island still remains an island where surfers outnumber those occupying the growing number of boutique luxury hotels. It’s an island of simple pleasures and easy-going vibes, of soft pale sands, exquisite sea views that stretch all the way back to Bali, and of an indulgence which comes with its tropical locale.
On our Day Cruises, you can explore all that Nusa Lembongan’s sublime coastline has to offer, from spotting the pods of playful dolphins that frolic the warm shallows, to sailing close by the verdant mangrove landscapes of the island’s north, to enjoying the surprising number of fantastic restaurants.
We take in the island’s most popular surf and snorkelling spots, its low limestone cliffs, and its coves and inlets, not least the exquisite Mushroom Bay. Here you can play at being Robinson Crusoe, absorb the incredible surrounds while flopping down on the soft sand of the calm beaches that are rapidly becoming an all-time Indonesia favourite, or even head out over the smooth sparkling turquoise waters in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard.
Beneath the waves, but just as accessible, are Nusa Lembongan’s coral reefs, habitats that simply buzz with life – large and small, crowded by more than 550 species of reef fish of amazing colours, and almost 250 different types of coral. Its’ reefs are also frequented by everything from the impressive Mola Mola (Sunfish) that typically weigh between 250 – 1000kg, to the critically-endangered Olive Ridley Turtle, which have been nesting on Sunset Beach on the southwest of the island for millennia.
Our Day Cruises also offer a unique way of experiencing the coastal wonders like the Devil’s Tear, an exploding mass of sea spray that envelops the rocks as waves crash into the promontory on which it sits. Crowded and slippery to see by land, from our boats you’ll have a front-row seat to this most impressive of natural phenomena!
Nusa Lembongan, a little gem off Bali’s coast, beckons travellers seeking an idyllic island escape. Whether you’re planning a Nusa Lembongan day trip or an extended stay, here’s a taste of what awaits you.
Nusa Lembongan is easily accessible from Bali. The journey takes about 40-45 minutes (or 2,5 -3hrs if with the vessel JEMME as she is a sailing catamaran), and you can book your Nusa Lembongan boat trip here. Boats to Nusa Lembongan depart regularly, so you don’t need to worry too much about scheduling.
Nusa Lembongan day trips are a fantastic way to experience the island’s beauty. Relax on the white sand of Lembongan Main Beach, a haven for sunbathers and surfers alike. Rent a beach chair, grab a refreshing drink, and soak in the island vibes.
Nusa Lembongan isn’t just about beaches. Head to Devil’s Tears, a natural rock formation where crashing waves create a spectacular display of water shooting skyward. Witness this raw power of nature, especially captivating during sunset.
Snorkelling enthusiasts won’t be disappointed. Mangrove Point offers a vibrant underwater world teeming with colourful fish and coral reefs. This Nusa Lembongan day tour activity is a must for marine life enthusiasts.
Get on a Nusa Lembongan boat trip from Bali and be whisked away to the pristine shores of Mushroom Bay. This sheltered cove boasts crystal-clear waters, perfect for diving, snorkelling, or simply relaxing under the sun.
After a day of adventure, unwind at The Deck, a popular beachfront hangout. Enjoy delicious food, refreshing cocktails, and stunning ocean views. It’s the perfect place to relax and share stories of your Nusa Lembongan island day trip.
Calling all surfers! Nusa Lembongan boasts some of the best waves in Bali. Head to Shipwrecks, a legendary surf spot where experienced surfers can tackle challenging breaks.
If you are lucky on the day, embark on a dolphin-watching tour and witness the incredible sight of spinner dolphins leaping and twirling in the ocean.
The best time to visit Nusa Lembongan depends on your priorities. For sunny skies and calm seas ideal for water activities like diving, snorkelling, and surfing, aim for the dry season, April to September. This is going to be high and peak season, so expect more crowds and slightly higher prices.
Shoulder seasons (November to March) offer a good compromise. You’ll encounter some rain showers, but they tend to be brief and prices are lower. The sunsets during this time can be particularly stunning.
Nusa Lembongan day trips are available year-round, so you can experience the island’s beauty any time of year.
