Why Nusa Lembongan? A laid-back little island with mangroves, surf and snorkelling with manta rays — calmer than Penida.
Nusa Lembongan is the laid-back little sister of Nusa Penida: a small, relaxed island with mangroves, surf and fantastic snorkelling with manta rays — calmer and easier than Penida.
The pace is slow and the island is small enough to explore by scooter. Ideal for snorkelling, chilling and visiting neighbouring Ceningan via the yellow bridge.

You reach Lembongan by speedboat from Sanur (about 30 to 45 minutes). The island is small and easily managed by scooter; the roads are narrow but clearer than on Penida. The yellow suspension bridge links Lembongan with the even quieter Nusa Ceningan.
Snorkel at Manta Bay and Crystal Bay for mantas and colourful coral. Dream Beach and Devil's Tear serve up white sand and spectacular surf spray on the cliffs. On Ceningan you can jump into the Blue Lagoon or canoe through the mangroves. The surf (Shipwrecks, Playgrounds) is for advanced surfers.
Couples, snorkellers and peace seekers who want island atmosphere without the ruggedness of Penida. Easily combined with Penida, with a short boat ride in between.
