About this tour

Set sail from Benoa Harbour on a 64-foot catamaran bound for Nusa Lembongan. This nine-hour island escape combines morning snorkelling amongst mangrove reefs with afternoon exploration ashore—mangrove paddling, a seaweed farming settlement, and a coastal village loop—before a grilled lunch at the beachfront Hai Ri Zen. The day wraps with pool time and water-sports options back at the beach club, or you can push further into banana boats and slides at the offshore pontoon.

Highlights

  • Sail across turquoise shallows to Mangrove Point reef
  • Paddle through coastal mangrove tunnels by canoe
  • Walk through working seaweed farm; chat with farmers
  • Coastal village tour by vehicle; see daily island life
  • Grilled lunch at beachfront restaurant overlooking the strait
  • Offshore pontoon with water slide, kayak, paddleboards
  • All snorkelling gear, instruction, and transfers included

What to expect

Depart Benoa at 9:00 am aboard a dual-hulled catamaran; the crossing takes roughly an hour. Morning snorkelling at Mangrove Point delivers reasonable visibility and shallow coral gardens. Back on Lembongan, a guide poles you through narrow mangrove channels by canoe—peaceful and intimate. A short vehicle loop takes in village life: fruit stalls, modest homes, fishing boats. The seaweed farm visit is genuine: locals explain harvest and drying methods. Lunch is substantial—grilled fish, chicken, and sides—eaten on the deck. Afternoon splits between the beach club (pool, loungers, calm swimming) and the offshore pontoon if you want higher-octane thrills.

Good to know

Bring reef shoes; seabed can be sharp. Sunscreen essential. The pontoon water sports (slides, banana boats) suit confident swimmers; children must be supervised. Hotel pickups cover most Bali areas. Not suitable if pregnant, with serious back issues, or with cardiovascular concerns. Minimum eight years old.
