Menjangan Island · West Bali National Park
Snorkel Menjangan Island's pristine coral walls in crystal-clear water — inside West Bali National Park, with some of the healthiest reef systems in all of Bali.
The Experience
Protected national park reefs, 30-meter visibility, and almost no crowds.
Four steps from Pemuteran to a protected island paradise.
Your driver collects you from your hotel and heads to Pemuteran in northwest Bali — about 3.5 hours from south Bali, or arrange overnight in Pemuteran for an early start.
Board a traditional boat at the national park jetty — 30 to 40 minutes across calm water to Menjangan Island. Park permits and fees are included in your tour.
Your guide leads you to two of the island's eight snorkeling spots — dramatic coral walls dropping to 60 meters, with reef sharks, turtles, angelfish, and crystal-clear 20 to 30 meter visibility.
Rest on Menjangan's white sand beach with a packed lunch, then boat back to the mainland and transfer to your hotel.

"Activité et guide super sympa ! Vous pourrez voir des poissons et des coraux magnifiques que vous n’aviez jamais pu voir auparavant et même au sein de Bali. Vous aurez la chance également de voir les Bambi sur la deer island ! Un petit programme incroyable avec des guides incroyables ! (Personnellement je n’ai pas pris le repas et j’ai bien fait d’après l’avis des autres personnes) Tout était excellent merci encore à eux"
"Super guide. Ville gerne have set en havskildpadde. Men super tur."
"Wir waren das zweite Mal auf Menjangan schnorcheln ,diesmal waren es andere Spots.Guide Wayan ware sehr geduldig und umsichtig,hilfsbereit und hatte alle ( 6 Personen ) immer im Auge. Highlights waren eine große Schildkröte und ein Hai."
"Die Guides waren sehr freundlich und professionell. Wir hatten sehr viel Glück und konnten einen Baby-Hai aus der Ferne sehen sowie sehr viele Delfine. Wir hatten genügend Zeit zum Schnorcheln, haben zwei Spots besucht und waren anschließend noch auf der Insel zum Lunch. Super Trip!"
"Superbe activité ! Le snorkeling se passe dans les meilleures conditions : les coraux sont magnifiques; des tonnes de poissons de toutes les tailles et de toutes les formes à voir; nous avons eu la chance d’apercevoir une tortue et un barracuda ! L’ile et sa plage sont paradisiaque pour prendre le repas. Le bateau est commode et le guide tres gentil. En revanche nous n’avons pas fait de randonnée avec les biches mais 2 spots différents de snorkelling et le repas sur la plage."

Check Availability & BookEverything you need to know about snorkeling at Menjangan Island.
Most snorkeling tours depart from Pemuteran or Labuhan Lalang harbor on Bali's northwest coast. From there, it's a 40-minute boat ride to the island. If you're coming from south Bali (Kuta/Seminyak), the drive to the harbor takes about 3–3.5 hours, so most visitors either book a full-day tour or stay overnight in Pemuteran.
Yes, Menjangan Island sits inside West Bali National Park, so a park entry permit is required. The permit costs around 200,000 IDR ($13) for international visitors. All organized tours — like the Basic Snorkeling at Menjangan Island tour ($40, ID 600193) — include the permit fee, boat, gear, guide, and transport.
Menjangan's famous coral walls drop from near the surface down to 40–60 meters. As a snorkeler, you'll float above the wall edge and look down the sheer drop-off, which is covered in hard corals, sea fans, and sponges. The reef top starts at just 1–3 meters depth, so you get a dramatic view without needing to freedive.
Menjangan is known for blacktip reef sharks patrolling the wall edges, green and hawksbill sea turtles, emperor angelfish, Moorish idols, trumpetfish, and nudibranchs. The healthy hard coral coverage supports an exceptional diversity of reef fish. Lucky snorkelers occasionally spot eagle rays gliding along the wall.
Visibility at Menjangan regularly reaches 20–30 meters, making it some of the clearest water in Bali. The island's remote location away from river runoff and development keeps the water pristine. Even during the wet season, visibility rarely drops below 10–15 meters.
Yes, significantly. The 3.5-hour drive from south Bali keeps casual day-trippers away, so you'll share the reefs with far fewer people than at Nusa Penida or Tulamben. On weekdays, you may be the only snorkeling group at your assigned spot. The tour visits 2 of 8 available snorkeling sites, so groups are spread out.
April to November delivers the calmest seas and best visibility. The crossing from the mainland is smoothest during these months. July to October is the absolute peak. December to March can bring afternoon rain and slightly reduced visibility, but morning conditions are usually fine and the reefs remain excellent.
Yes, Menjangan is one of Bali's best spots for beginners. The water inside the reef is calm and sheltered, with minimal current. Entry is from the boat onto shallow reef flats, and guides stay with the group at all times. Life jackets are provided, and you can see spectacular coral and fish in waist-deep water.
