We drive over a very scenic street with a fabulous sight to the gemstone blue sea and wonderful rice terraces to our first destination in Amed. One of the last unspoiled areas of Bali and until its best kept secret. The small fishing villages’ in this region fringing out to the Bali Sea and you can see steep mountains to landward. Amed is actually a collection of small fishing villages occupying half moon bays, stretching some scenic 5kms along the rugged coastline with wonderful views towards the Bali Sea with volcanic hills steeply behind the small street. This cost road is one of the most spectacular in Bali! Return by the hidden back roads with giant bamboo forming an archway overhead. If you walk into the villages and you can turn your watch back 30 years as you are surrounded by village life, some of it unchanged in a century. Trek up the river valleys, swim across the bay or just kick back with a good book in one of the most peaceful places in Bali. Unforgettable is the dramatic view in the morning when the sun rises and you can see the jagged peaks of Lombok island and an azure Lombok strait studded with literally hundreds of triangular sailed double outrigger fishing boats - called jukung - returning with there mornings catch.
The Area of Amed is a divers and snorkeler’s paradise with colourful coral gardens, dramatic Drop Offs, pristine and artificial reefs, Muck diving places, diving places for wonderful drift dives or with wooden or steeled shipwrecks.

Here you will see the life of a traditional Balinese village away from the tourism.
In Amed you will see the salt panning. On the beach there are lots trees where the local people fill in the sea water. After the water evaporates the people collect the salt. A lot of children sell this sea salt on the street to pay there school from the money they get.

08.-10. Day
Located on the tranquil east coast of Bali, an hour drive away from Amed, Padang Bai is a perfect location for relaxation on pristine white sand beaches and a lot of the famous dive sites in the east of Bali are easy to reach by boat from the harbour. This little cosy fishing village is a great spot for diving, snorkelling and fishing as well. Here you can visit one of the oldest temples in Bali. The Silayukti Temple is over 1000 years old and daily there are authentic Balinese ceremonies taking place here.
We check-in in our bungalows, with mosquito net, fan and breakfast which are situated in a small bay with white beach. Not far away from the hotel you will find two beautiful bays for relaxation, snorkelling and swimming.
After the breakfast and the briefing we will start our boat dives at the dive sites Blue Lagoon and White Beach. Here you will find a variety of different species in the beautiful walls and coral gardens. You will see a lot of “critters” and in the depth of 20 meters you can meet sleeping reef sharks. In the time from august to September sometimes moon fishes appear. A night dive is possible here as well.
Blue Lagoon is a wonderful beach for snorkelling, it has white sand but it is much smaller than White Beach. White Beach offers pristine white sand and a couple of small warungs for a nice snack and cold drinks. But here can be sometimes bigger waves. For families we recommend the main beach where no waves are and there for it will be safer for your small children. The black sand beach is a pretty location for a walk. The black sand between the gemstone crystal-clear water and the lush green areas is very scenic.
On the second day we will go by boat to the dive sides Gili Mimpang, Gili Tepekong, Gili Biaha. We choose our dive sides in this area depending of the conditions of the day.
The third day will guide us to the dive sides on Nusa Penida. We can choose to dive in Crystal Bay, Manta Point or in SD. It is also possible to visit other dive sites on this island. It is up to you and the conditions!
After the dives and a cosy break we have the possibility for a little tour to some nice sides of Bali. We recommend a trip to Ubud where we can visit the monkey forest or you can see some local markets if you want to buy some presents or a nice Sarung. If you want you can see here paintings of local and western painters or you can watch a traditional Balinese Dance. In the evening you can have a drink in the Jazz Cafe or have a walk through the village Ubud before we drive back to Padang Bai.
It is also possible to visit Goa Lawah (bat cave) and the Elephant Cave or you decide to relax on one of the nice beaches in Padang Bai.
