The island of Bali has a rich cultural heritage set against a backdrop of volcanic mountains, which rise to 3000 metres above sea level. This mountain range effectively separates the northern coast of Bali from the developed resorts of southern Bali. The Balinese themselves are renowned for their hospitality, which contributes to the islands ongoing appeal to overseas visitors. Bali is an area that catches the interest of people above water as well as below, so for those who like a bit of everything, there are a range of islands that surround Bali, like Nusa Penida , Nusa Lembongan, Gili with pristine nature and crystal water, colourful reefs, majestic dive spots.

Nusa Lembongan is a small island off the southeast coast of the main island of Bali. Quickly becoming one of Bali’s most popular attractions, this island paradise is a world away from the hassle and hectic pace of South Bali. Neither hawkers nor traffic mar the magnificent scenery. Main activities include surfing, diving and snorkeling. The water is some of the clearest you will find anywhere, and a vivid aqua blue in colour.

Nusa Penida is the largest and most exotic of the three Nusa Islands, thanks to its collection of unique Hindu temples and picturesque natural features of cliff formations and lagoons. Close to Penida’s white sand beach of Crystal Bay, divers enjoy one of Bali’s best dive sites, where pristine coral reefs and Mola-Mola fish (also known as oceanic sunfish), manta rays, and, if you’re really lucky, even whale sharks are some of its seasonal sights.
