Blue Lagoon Bali Snorkel: Tanjung Jepun, Virgin Beach & Lunch
Spend a full day snorkeling East Bali: shallow, fish-filled reefs at Tanjung Jepun, the coral gardens of Blue Lagoon, and the quieter sands of Virgin Beach, finished with a local lunch and a coffee stop. Ideal for beginners and seasoned snorkelers who want calm water and easily accessible reefs.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for calmer water
Morning tides usually offer better visibility and gentler currents—plan pickup for early in the day to maximize snorkeling time.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens harm coral—choose a mineral (zinc/titanium) option and apply sparingly before entering the water.
Secure your mask and fins
Bring a well-fitting mask and adjustable fins or ask the guide for properly sized rentals to avoid lost gear during drift sections.
Respect coral and marine life
Don’t touch or stand on coral; maintain buoyancy and avoid feeding fish to protect reef health.
