In mid December we set out to explore Nusa Lembongan. In this video we learn to ride a scooter, see some beautiful places like beaches, boats, surfers, a mangrove forest, restaurants and explored the underwater world snorkeling off the coast of the island, with friends we met in Bali.
We had an amazing time, learned some new things and will remember the place very fondly.

    Agreed! When it was filmed, there was a huge rainstorm overnight and parts of the island (and Ceningan) were inaccessible as some roads even got destroyed along with hotels. That's why we cut that trip short and even mentioned this in the video. I'd love to go back and redo, especially now that we're out of the covid situation and lots more businesses are openned up 🙏

We skipped Komodo as its between 12-15 juta so too much for 2 hours of watching dragons in the park. Sorry. Also the rumours of the dragons being drugged are not promising. We are exploring Jakarta now and in the future plan on doing a multi-day trek through the jungle to see Orangutans in the wild. Then perhaps a Phinisi trip in Aceh!

Labuan Bajo (KNP), Raaj Ampat, Banda Neira, Kei Island, Lombok, Manado etc has the best beaches and marine life in Indonesia. The problem is too far, remote and expensive to travel, even for us Indonesian.

Also the beachside area was affected by heavy storms but they've been working on fixing those. The swimming pool albeit cozy, was nice and the view of Bali was amazing.

    Nusa lembongan use to be Amazing. Two days a week you could catch an outrigger ferry over to the island. It was jungle with only a couple of huts run by locals. Large seaweed farm's out front. No real roads or transportation. Would stay for months and surf out front. That was 30+ years ago. The island is now covered in hotels. The boardwalk you guys sat at in front of playgrounds has hotels that pump sewage out front. The water can stink. The whole island is covered in plastic. I hope with the lack of tourists they have been trying to clean the island but I doubt it. Its changed so much over the years. Beware the money machines on the island. They use skimmers to access people's accounts and will clean your bank accounts out.

    Thanks for all the valid points. I hear nowadays one must go further ease past Nusa Tenggara to find what Lembongan used to be. Sugaiwatch is a local org that is doing a lot of cleanups and uses great equipment to clean tens of tonnes of trash. Sadly the sea is full of it :( We use revolut for payments to protect from skimming. The app has notifications every time money is spent on the card so could react in seconds.
