I. About Taking a Boat
📍Address: Denpasar City, South Denpasar, Sanur
1⃣️ Arriving at the pier: Follow the address above to avoid confusion. My first trip led me to an old, unused pier, wasting precious time. Consider taking the highway for a breathtaking ocean view and a smooth ride.
2⃣️ At the entrance: Beware of individuals who may try to stop you, claiming to be staff. They often lead unsuspecting travelers to their shops, selling overpriced tickets. I fell for this trap, but now you won’t have to!
3⃣️ Price: A fair round-trip boat ticket should cost around 120💰. If the price seems too high, don’t hesitate to switch to another company.
4⃣️ How to buy tickets: The official pier hosts various boat companies. Choose one that suits your needs. These companies are usually lined up, so compare prices and services. Inform them of your destination and whether you need a round trip.
5⃣️ Duration: The boat ride takes approximately 40 minutes.
6⃣️ Departure time: Typically, boats depart at 4:30 PM or 5:00 PM. Your chosen company will provide the exact time. Save the location where you board the island to easily find your return point. Arrive at least ten minutes early to ensure a smooth departure.
II. About Nusa Lembongan
1⃣️ Classic attractions:
– Devil’s Tear: A dramatic cliffside with crashing waves.
– Dream Beach: A picturesque beach with clear blue waters.
– Mangrove Point: A serene mangrove forest in Jungutbatu.
2⃣️ Distance between attractions: All these sites are within a 25-minute scooter ride of each other.
Rent a scooter for 25💰 per day. Devil’s Tear and Dream Beach are conveniently connected.
3⃣️ Boating: At Mangrove Point, you can choose to take a boat or paddle. Paddling costs 50💰 for 30 minutes. You’ll venture into the mangroves alone, with shallow waters and no large creatures. This tranquil experience, reminiscent of a hidden paradise, is best enjoyed with a map in hand.
4⃣️ Other: For a complete experience, consider staying overnight. The sea here is captivating and worth a full day of exploration.
III. Other
After returning from Nusa Lembongan, I planned to visit Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. However, note that while the park is listed as closing at 9 PM, it actually closes at 8 PM, so plan accordingly to avoid disappointment.
