About this experience
Tanjung Benoa on Bali's southern coast is the launch point for this combination marine tour, which strings together three distinct experiences into a single outing. It starts at Turtle Island, a protected stretch of Benoa beach village where turtles and other marine animals live in their natural habitat. Local residents on the island make handicrafts and body art, which you can browse and buy directly from them.
From there, the tour heads into Benoa's mangrove jungle for a roughly one-hour speedboat ride along a zigzagging route through the tangled waterways. It's a different pace and setting entirely from the coastal stretch you've just left, with dense mangrove vegetation lining the narrow channels on either side. The final leg is a 30-minute glass-bottom boat ride, where a fiberglass viewing panel in the boat's hull lets you look straight down into the water to see the coral reefs and fish beneath the surface without needing to swim or dive.
Together, the three stops give a rounded picture of the marine environment around this part of Bali, combining wildlife conservation, jungle scenery, and underwater viewing in one trip organized through Bali Coral Dive & Water Sport in Benoa.
What to expect
The tour begins at Turtle Island inside Benoa beach village, where you'll walk around the sanctuary to see turtles and other marine animals living in a protected setting, and have the chance to meet local residents selling handicrafts and body art. From here, you'll board a speedboat for the mangrove jungle leg, a roughly one-hour ride that winds along a zigzag route through the dense waterways and vegetation.
The last stop is the glass-bottom boat, a 30-minute ride where you can look through the fiberglass panel in the hull to view coral reefs and fish below the surface without getting in the water. Across the three stages, the tour moves from a land-based wildlife stop to a jungle waterway ride and finishes with calmer, scenic viewing on open water near Tanjung Benoa.
Things to note
- Wear swimwear or quick-dry clothing in case of splashes during the speedboat and boat rides
- Bring a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses as most of the tour takes place on open water with little shade
- Bring cash if you'd like to buy handicrafts or body art from residents on Turtle Island
- A change of clothes and a small towel are worth packing in case you get wet
- The meeting point is Bali Coral Dive & Water Sport at Jl. Pratama No.101, Benoa, Kuta Selatan, Badung, Bali
- Motion sensitivity should be considered given the speedboat and boat travel involved
