Info
Menjangan Island is located in the Taman National Bali Barat (Bali National Park), 25-30 minutes by boat from Pemuteran.
Menjangan Island is roughly 2km in length by just over half km in width and holds more than a dozen recognised sites, ranging from sheer drop offs to 60+mtrs, small caves, sandy slopes and a beautiful blue green lagoon with some very nice resident ghost pipefish.
With Menjangan Island being located so close to the straits between Bali & Java, sightings of deep water pelagics are a regular occurrence. During the rainy season is the best time to have a chance to see manta and baby (±7mtr) whale shark, but these, like everything, cannot be guaranteed. However bigger fish are the norm at Menjangan, turtle, napoleon, grouper, big barracuda and shark are all regularly seen. But don’t be surprised if you’re shown and entranced by the little things as well. Menjangan Island also has its own little wreck known as Anchor Wreck named because of the anchor located in 5mtrs of water at the top of the reef. This is the wreck of a 200+ yr old wooden trading vessel, so there is not much left to look at and it is very deep.
