Take a deep breath. Relax. You’re in Bali, one of the world’s best paradise islands. It’s such a great place, so great that everybody wants to be here. And who can fault them? They’re in Bali for the exact same reasons as you are. But what if you want that escape from the crowds? What should you do? No worries. Hop aboard a sailing catamaran and head to Lembongan Island.

Lembongan what? It’s a tranquil island just off Bali’s southeast coast. It is just eight square kilometers in area and is home to about 5000 people. The island is surrounded by coral reefs with white sand beaches and low limestone cliffs. Certainly a beautiful site, whether you are on land or in the waters.

Excited? Get ready for a memorable day trip. You’ll be picked up from your hotel and transferred to Benoa Harbor, where your luxurious boat awaits. The trip takes about 60 minutes minimum and about 90 minutes maximum, depending on the winds and currents. Time just flies by when you have beautiful endless views of the turquoise blue waters.

What? We’re there already? The trip itself is so enjoyable that you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll arrive at the island. And the descriptions of Nusa Lembongan ring true! This is an oasis of white sands, clear waters and colorful marine life. And the beauty of the trip is that you’re free to spend the day as you wish. Divers and snorkelers, put on your gear and jump in the tempting waters! Swimmers are also allowed to enjoy the ocean as well. Other activities include a glass-bottom boat ride, reef viewing and banana boat rides. We also have options for island exploring, a great way for you to know more about the people’s way of life here.

What if you want to do nothing? Well, that’s a fine option! Lie down and catch some rays! Read a book, listen to your favorite chill-out tunes and maybe pinch yourself a little bit just to remind yourself that this is not a dream.

A barbecue buffet lunch will be served midday with complementary drinks. Yes, this is island living, and it is real!
