North West Bali Coast
Discover Bali's protected marine sanctuary in Pemuteran & Menjangan National Park. Explore vertical coral drop-offs, crystal-clear calm waters, the renowned Bio Rock reef, and macro muck diving at Secret Bay.
Located in the tranquil northwest corner of Bali—approximately 130 kilometers (~3 hours drive) from Sanur and Denpasar—Pulau Menjangan (Menjangan Island) and Pemuteran represent Bali's authentic, secluded marine sanctuary. Nestled within West Bali National Park, Menjangan Island is celebrated for its sheer vertical wall drop-offs, calm waters, and clear visibility reaching up to 30–50 meters.
The underwater realm around Menjangan and Pemuteran is a vibrant kaleidoscope of marine biodiversity. From colorful clownfish colonies and giant gorgonian sea fans to hawksbill sea turtles, moray eels, and whitetip reef sharks, divers and snorkelers of all experience levels can enjoy a peaceful underwater environment.
Pemuteran is recognized for hosting the Bio Rock coral restoration project, alongside the interesting Underwater Temple Garden. Dive among artificial mineral accretion structures encrusted with juvenile fish, soft corals, and sea anemones in shallow, warm bay waters.
Near the Gilimanuk ferry port connecting Bali to Java, Secret Bay offers a unique muck diving experience. Black volcanic sand and seagrass beds harbor interesting critters like frogfish, dragonets, ghost pipefish, and seahorses with shallow depths permitting extended bottom times over 60 minutes.
