Overview

Padangbai is a small harbour town on Bali's east coast, best known as the ferry port for Lombok. Just around the headland is Blue Lagoon, a sheltered bay with clear water, coral gardens and plenty of reef fish, and part of a marine protected area.

After pickup from your hotel, you drive to Padangbai and board a jukung, a traditional Balinese outrigger boat. The crew takes you to the reef off Blue Lagoon for your first snorkel, then to a second spot nearby, often Tanjung Jepun, depending on the sea that day. Expect to see colourful fish, corals and, with a bit of luck, turtles or a cuttlefish. Between swims there is time to relax on the small white-sand beach.

After a Balinese lunch, you head back to your hotel. Some versions add a stop on the way, such as a temple or a water palace in east Bali.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

You should be comfortable in the water. Life jackets are provided, and the crew stays with the boat and helps beginners.

When is the best time to go?

The dry season, roughly April to October, usually brings the calmest sea and the clearest water. Trips can change or be cancelled in rough conditions.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, for children who are happy in the water. Tell us their ages so we can confirm the right equipment sizes.
