The Experience

Before You Go

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and avoid reapplying in the water.

Bring a waterproof camera or case

Visibility can be excellent—capture reef life and the view of Mount Agung from the boat.

Wear water shoes

Beach entries can be rocky; shoes protect feet and help with grip on slippery surfaces.

Motion-sickness prep

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before departure and sit mid-boat where movement is gentler.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note

Use reef-safe products and follow guide instructions—avoid touching coral and practice catch-and-release if advised to minimize impact.

East Bali’s coastal villages have fished these waters for generations; volcanic flows shaped the bays that now host rich coral gardens.
