Nusa Lembongan is only a short sail from Benoa Harbour, yet it feels like another world: clear water, golden sand and a pace that slows down the moment you step off the boat. If you have one day to spare, a day cruise is the easiest way to see it.
How the day runs
Your day starts with door to door pick-up from your hotel in south Bali, then boarding at Benoa Harbour with coffee, tea and pastries. After a safety demonstration the catamaran sails across to Lembongan Bay, where the pontoon and the Beach Club are waiting.
- Snorkel on the reef, with equipment and instruction included
- Ride the banana boat as often as you like
- Try the 35 metre waterslide and the diving board
- Take a tropical BBQ lunch at the Beach Club
- Swim in the lagoon pool or paddle a kayak or SUP board
“The best part of the day is how little you have to plan. Everything from lunch to lockers is already taken care of.”
What to bring
- Swimwear and a change of clothes
- Reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
- A waterproof phone pouch
- A little cash for optional extras such as parasailing or diving
Choosing your cruise
The Ultimate Lembongan Day Cruise is built around the pontoon and its water sports, while the Aristocat Sailing Cruise swaps the speed for the quiet of sailing and a fishing line over the side. Both end at the same Beach Club, so you cannot go wrong.
Is the cruise suitable for children?
Yes. Beach attendants and a lifeguard are on hand, and the Beach Club has kids activities between 11:00 and 15:00.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
No. Life vests are available and the Beach Club has a shallow children's area in the pool.
