Lembongan is a diver, surfer, and yogi paradise only a 30-minute boat ride from southeast Bali and ideally located only 1 hour away from the Denpasar International Airport. It is part of the Klungkung Regency district which includes the three islands of Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida.

Nusa Lembongan is around 8 square kilometers big with around 5,000 inhabitants. In 2010 Nusa Penida was named an MPA (Marine Protected Area) by the 41 local villages in a strong community effort. One year later it was recognized by the Indonesian government. As a part of the district of Bali, it is rich in Hindu culture with many temples to visit and ceremonies to attend throughout the year. The people are among the friendliest in the world and are very welcoming to all visitors and proud to show off their beautiful island. It is off the beaten Bali track, but it is an adventure seekers dream with world-class diving, cliff jumping, hiking, surfing and yoga. Bali is only a 30-minute boat ride away and filled with shopping, beaches, nightlife and a number of adventure activities. 

Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan have quickly become a dive destination because of its year round sightings of manta rays and the seasonal appearance of the famous Mola Mola (Sunfish). Divers travel from around the world to dive the famous dive sites of Blue Corner, Crystal Bay, and Manta Point. Your best chance to see the Mola Mola are during the months of July to September, while manta rays are spotted year round at their favorite cleaning and feeding stations along Nusa Penida’s cliffs.

The water temperatures can range from 16 degrees to 30 degrees with cold upwellings in June bringing nutrient rich waters from the depths of the Lombok Strait. The majority of our dives are drift dives, where we jump off the boat and drift with the current until our dive is complete and the boat crew picks us up wherever we surface. The fast current draws in the large sharks and rays. The ocean surrounding the three islands are a MPA (Marine Protected Area) with many research projects and conservation initiatives helping to protect the land and sea park.
