Welcome to Nusa Lembongan. Let's dive in.
We've got so much to show you guys but first you'll probably need some help
getting to this beautiful island just 30 minutes away from Bali. And if you're
continuing your journey with us from Nusa Penida, welcome back! The boat ride
from Nusa Penida to Nusa Lembongan takes just 10 minutes and arrives just next to
the yellow bridge. But if you're coming from Bali you'll arrive at Mushroom Bay.
The island is small. Just eight square kilometers in size. There are no taxis on
the island, just these utilities.
"What's the price?"
They don't have meters. "Oh, too much." So prices are negotiable.
Leaves me with the easy job, to look after the bags! So, we're just heading to our hotel at the moment!
We'll quickly check in, and then we'll go exploring. This is our beautiful room. It doesn't include breakfast...
but for around $65 a night, it is perfect and the view out to the pool. And our bathroom.
We hired a motorbike from our hotel to get around, before bunny hopping from one spot
to the next
We spent several hours here just lounging by the pool which was free to
use when we purchased food and drinks. But if you prefer the ocean, book a
snorkeling tour when you arrive.
Next up is the Mangrove Forest where there's plenty of beachfront bars.
This is Agung Beach Club, with a sweet view of Bali's active volcano Mount Agung.
Tonight there's towers of choking smoke in thick ash billow into Bali's air.
We just stumbled upon it as we were driving towards the Mangroves. We're on top of this like, little cubby house.
This is going to be the most sweetest launch pad ever.
What do you think about this place? As far as mangrove cafes go, it's pretty good. At high tide, head over to
the west of the island.
Right next to Devils Tear is Dream Beach. This is the view from Cafe Pandan.
Take a dip.
A swing. And then a stroll to one of my favorite restaurants on Nusa Lembongan.
Thank you! We ordered a tuna steak and a Poke bowl. Wow
Good morning! We are at the Bali Eco Deli today. It was very delicious we've had some
smoothie bowls. Today we are going...
We are going to be heading over the Yellow Bridge today to Ceningan. Is that how you pronounce it...?
Ceningan Island. Let's go! To give you an idea of just how small Nusa Lembongan is,
it takes just 20 minutes to drive from one end to the other.
"That was cool." But a few years ago tragedy struck here.
In 2016, the bridge collapsed and 9 people died.
Many of the victims were crushed by falling debris. Many more were injured.
But rest assured it's been repaired. Now in this next segment, I want to assure you I
haven't tampered with color correction or saturation. This is Blue Lagoon.
What you see, is what you get.
I was just talking to the guy at the bar and I asked him if anyone is welcome to
come here and have a cocktail and he said absolutely! He said it took three
years to build this bar because all the stones and the infrastructure that you
see - all had to come from Denpasar.
There is a public viewing spot if you don't want to visit the club.
Oh that's quite funny. Bogged! You can hire stand up paddle boards on the island
Or search for Secret Beach. Secret Beach is okay but Dream Beach is better.
It's a nice little walk to get out here though.
On the way back to Nusa Lembongan there's plenty cool beach clubs along the
water front. And speaking of food with a view, this is the waterfront boardwalk.
This is definitely a must if you're wanting to check out the sunset or have
an early morning breakfast bowl. I'll leave a map in the description below.
Look at all the bikes!! So you don't get lost.
And now for some housekeeping tips. This is how we fill up petrol.
There are also some random laundry facilities available. You can also book
in a tour to go swimming with huge manta rays that swim just off the island.
Make sure you check out my Nusa Penida guide for more information. Another popular
place to go snorkeling is Mushroom Beach named after the mushroom coral offshore
which is easy to see at low tide. This is where all the boats heading back to Bali
depart from.
When you make it back to Bali you will arrive at Sanur. Here you can just grab
a taxi or ride-sharing service to your next location. This might be the most
valuable information that we give you. Is this our driver? The app 'GRAB' which is
pretty much like Uber. When we just down at the pier
taxi drivers we're telling us that it would cost about 300,000 rupiah
to get to our hotel but the app GRAB is telling us that it should only cost 100,000.
It's so much easier isn't it?
So simple and we didn't even have to bargain!
Thank you. Oh my goodness John and I just checked into this
incredible villa. We have so many more places to show you here so don't miss
our next guide. We're checking Ubud in Bali.
We're visiting the rice paddies.
A popular trail. "it's dodgy" We're at Monkey Forest.
We'll then tick off Kuta and Seminyak off our bucket lists.

join us on this next adventure. Don't move whatever you do.
