Activities on Nusa Lembongan
The sea is the major attraction here, with three world famous surf breaks on the outside of the reef that protects the bay at Jungutbatu. These can be reached by paddling out from shore, or by local boat, but all are only of the experienced surfer. In addition, some excellent snorkelling and scuba sites are located around the island, particularly offshore from the mangroves, and between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida.
Each of these boats contains several hundred day-trippers, but most of these don't leave the pontoon. They have organised snorkelling, water sports, meals and pools all offshore, with only small groups being ferried ashore for a quick look around.Exploring on motorbike can take you to the other beaches at Mushroom Bay, where the day-trippers unload for water sports, and Dream Beach, both picturesque little bays, as well as the narrow wooden bridge that crosses to the adjoining island of Nusa Ceningan. This island is much more remote, with small villages and no tourist infrastructure. It is worth the visit, both to test your riding skills on the bridge, and to ride through a couple of remote little villages. Back on Lembongan, Lembongan town is worth driving through, as is Devil's Tear, where the power of the water from the deep straight between Bali and Lombok can be appreciated, as it assaults the coast, and creates a mighty backspray.
Out of the water there is little to do, bar exploring the village and the island The village can be explores by foot, and the island by renting a motorbike for an hour or two (honestly, that is enough). This island has a daily influx of visitors, as there are three day-cruise operators who arrive in the bay, and berth at their own pontoons.
