Pleasure cruises depart from Bali and include Bali Hai Cruises, Bounty Cruises, Wakalouka, Nikki Adventure and numerous private charter boats. All reputable dive operators offer diving trips to various locations around these islands. Accommodation varies from simple beach bungalows to star-rated hotels.
The
lesser-know islands of Lembongan and Ceningan, just
off the southeast coast of Bali, are gaining popularity
as diving locations and areas for pleasure cruises. The
variety of currents feeding the channels between the
islands supports a varied and abundant array of
marine life, including larger species not found
elsewhere around Bali. Shallow reefs and
excellent visibility mean that diving in this
area can be enjoyed by all skill levels.
The
sleepy village pace makes them ideal for visitors seeking
tranquility away from the busier resorts of Bali. Secluded
palm-fringed sandy coves are easily accessible, and
there are no cars. The irritating beach hawkers
of Bali are also thankfully absent.
A
400m long narrow wooden bridge is currently under construction
to connect the islands of Ceningan and Lembongan. This
offers excellent views of the distant Mt. Agung
on Bali, as well as the seaweed farming which
constitutes the main local industry.
