Menjangan
Island
As
a part of Bali Barat National Park, Menjangan Island is
well known for its magnificent underwater world. Another
attraction of the island is protected deer. Menjangan, an
inhibited island about 10 km offshore, offers deep coral
reef walls and is one of Bali's best diving sites.
There are a few dive sites to choose from at Menjangan with
good conditions and excellent visibility. It's also an interesting
site for snorkeling. Menjangan also has a wreck , known
as the 'Anker' because of its heavily encrusted anchor at
the top of the reef. Fixed moorings have been built to prevent
damag, and the island is reached by a 30 minutes boat ride
from Labuan Lalang.
Pemuteran is an ideal place to plan excursions to West Bali
National Park, compromising the nature reserve of Menjangan
Island and the uplands in the west. Menjangan has the most
beautiful coral reefs in Bali. Along with the nearby Labuan
Lalang, this is a wonderful place for diving and snorkeling.
