About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring Bali's eastern seaboard, diving or snorkelling the submerged USAT Liberty wreck off Tulamben before visiting the ornate Taman Ujung Water Palace. Your guide—a local—navigates you through both the underwater tableau and the palace's layered gardens and courtyards. Hotel pickup and drop-off bracket the day, leaving you free to focus on two distinct landscapes: the wreck's coral-encrusted hull and the palace's architectural theatricality.
Highlights
- Snorkel or dive the USAT Liberty shipwreck
- Explore coral growth on sunken military vessel
- Guided visit to Taman Ujung Water Palace gardens
- Small-group tour with English-speaking local guide
- Hotel transfers included in package
What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven north to Tulamben's black-sand beach, where you'll enter the water for either a snorkel or scuba session above the Liberty—a WWII-era freighter now a living reef. Visibility varies; expect curious fish and hard corals clinging to the hull in shallow water. After lunch (bring money or eat beforehand), you'll visit Taman Ujung, a restored royal compound with landscaped pools, pavilions, and ornamental gates. Both sites demand moderate fitness; the palace involves stairs and walking.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided; pack cash or eat in Tulamben beforehand. Divers need reasonable cardiovascular fitness and clear spinal health. Bring sunscreen, a rash guard, and cash for any extras. The nine-hour estimate is realistic; driving time to the east coast is substantial from central Bali.
