Hey Lembongan

Finally I stepping my feet at Lembongan... yeeey.. This place always makes me curious what's on the island?

The first time I know Lembongan from my friend FB album, I saw her photo in Lembongan and looks interesting then I searching at google to find out more about Lembongan. And I said.. "Yeah You are in my list Lembongan.. " :)

So I came back again to BALI on July, meet my friend from England and give him a tour in BALI. We decide to go to Lembongan, before go there I already checked how to go there, the accommodation, and place to visit in there. Nusa Lembongan is an island located in southeast BALI (you can read more about Lembongan on wikipedia or wikitravel).

How to get there? The only one to go there is with boat. There is two kind boat to get there, speed boat and public boat (like usually). I thought you are already know the different between speed both and public boat, lies on speed and price. So I 'm gonna telling about the price and the time. Before that, there is two option to go there, from SANUR beach and the other from BENOA HARBOUR. Because Sanur is more close from KUTA (from my accommodation) I choose from SANUR beach, than Benoa. From Sanur for public boat the price is IDR 60 K, ride across is approximately 90 min to Jungut Batu and boat depart at Sanur is 8.00 AM. Speed boat price is IDR 150K, ride crossing time is 30 min, depart at SANUR is 10 AM to Jungut Batu bay... Your choice bloggers.
Jungut Batu, name of village place were we stay and also other tourist who come in Lembongan. You can find a lots accommodation in here start from budget, mid-range until splurge. I sleep at Wahyu hotels, its a new place, nice place, the owner and all staff is very welcome. The price start from IDR 100K until IDR 250K per room. And you can rent a bike cycle or motorcycle in this place, IDR 50K for motorcycle and IDR 35K for bike. Sorry I don't take the picture in Jungut Batu... :(

Mangrove Point, beside you will see the famous mangrove forest, you will see my little new friend name is DINO.

mangrove beach... perfect place to get suntan but the beach is too small... :D
In here you can do a tour, mangrove forest tour with boat and then if you want go to snorkeling and diving there's a lot rental for that from here to Penida island.

That's my new little friend monkey DINO,
he doesn't have mommy anymore.
His mom passed away when Dino born,
now he treated by a lovely couple in there
and they treat Dino very well.
And Dino doesn't like with a woman,
he will be an aggressive if a girl
try to hold him... 'coz it happen to me for the first time :)

Mushroom Beach, I can say Mushroom beach is the popular and a little bit expensive place in Lembongan than Jungut Batu. The accommodation, restaurant, night life, entertainment and the beach is way good then Jungut Batu. But don't worried from Jungut Batu to Mushroom beach just need 10 minute by motorcycle. We spend a lot time in here, specially when we hungry and want to get suntan. Our favorite restaurant is Bar and Grill, the food is really really yummy... so recommends if you want to go to this restaurant. And for the beach, there is a place that you can do nude when you get suntan. It's so awesome and also the underwater in the sea is beautiful too, you can snorkeling in there just using your goggles.. I see nemo, beautiful coral and many fish that I didn't know name... Too bad I don't have underwater camera to capture that.

Mushroom beach is also place for the boat landed from Lombok, Sanur and Tanjung Benoa. Bring the tourist to get here and the place who can rent the boat for diving or snorkeling.

This is the beach that you can took off your bikini's a.k.a nude when you get suntan. Really really really private beach...

Dream Beach, It's a wild sea (the wave), pebbly sand beach and also craggy, and so windy *fiiiuuh... it's kinda hard too enjoy the suntan in here 'coz the wind will blow everything :)
dream beach while receding, and u can see what I mean with the craggy... :P

And because it's so windy i just sitting at Pandan restaurant, drinking a beer, enjoy the view and playing pool... really nice place just for hang out and you can enjoy the coolest pool in here no need pay as long you bought drink or meals in here... :)

Let's move to another island, called Cengingan IslandCeningan Island is a lembongan neighbour, just need cross the bridge, the suspension bridge. My friend called "the death bridge" 'coz he fell from cliff near the bridge with his bike.
That's the suspension bridge, connection between Lembongan and Ceningan Island. Located is in seaweed farm and they have a beautiful view... quite blue sea with fishermen boat around the bridge... and the important is... it's clean! aah so awesome!









Blue Lagoon Cliff Jump - Ceningan Island.

And this is the Blue Lagoon, the place that you should go... great view sea and rocks.

That's my friend whose trying the blue lagoon cliff jump... I think it's for free but no one for free... for jump you should pay IDR 50K and you get a chance 3 times...





Ok that's all place who I can recommend to visit at Lembongan and Ceningan island. There is still any place to visit but not recommend... but if you wanna try to go... there is a place called underground house, it's a cave underground... its part from history a long time ago...

So pack your stuff and go to Lembongan and Ceningan Island... and say Hi from me to people in there... they are nice people... :)
