A day to Lembongan Island

After getting up early we got into 2 taxis and headed to the port to catch the cruise boat to Lembongan Island. We were ready for a day of water activities, relaxing, eating and doing the normal tourist things when visiting a new place.

The day was a sunny day with a few clouds scattered in the sky, which meant it was perfect for what we wanted to do. We headed out of port towards the island of Lembongan and on the way we were given a different perspective of the Balinese coastal houses.

As we neared Lembongan we noticed a pontoon anchoured not far of the island's coast, this is where our boat docked for the duration of the day.

From this pontoon you could get diving and snorkelling equipment and part-take in those waterbased activities. The water was crystal blue and quite deep, the reef was therefore a distance below the water surface. Diving lessons are provided for those who have never dived before.

There was also a glass wall and bottomed boat that ventured out on tours of the crystal blue water at various times during the day and there were Banana Boat rides that took off regularly and inflatable canoes.

From the pontoon you could also get a boat that would take you to the island so you could wander around, watch the local woman weave and cut coconuts, maybe purchase an item or two, see the locals putting seaweed out to dry and just roam around.

While all this is going on the boat staff have been busy serving morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. On the way back we managed to find the helm and we all had a turn at sterring the boat.
