Menjangan Island

It is a small island, located 5 miles to the north-west of Bali island. Menjangan means "Deer".

Menjangan Island is a perfect definition of what natural beauty is all about.

Known for its sprawling reef flats, calm and mostly predictable conditions, and relatively sheltered location, Menjangan Island has remained a favourite with many divers despite its damage and recovery from both a coral-eating Crown of Thorns infestation and coral bleaching caused by El Niño in the late 90s. It is now part of the West Bali National Park.

The main way to get to Menjangan Island is by using a local boat run by the Bali Barat National Parks Service, starting from the little harbour called Labuhan Lalang in Terima Bay.

Best time to visit the underwater wonders around Menjangan Island is between April to November. Since no shops are available nearby, make sure that you have all your diving or snorkeling gear with you, drinks, food and suntan lotion, medicines and other necessities on hand.
