Route Description - East Bali & The Whale Sharks of Sumbawa (Bali-Bali)

This is a snorkeler friendly trip!

Embark on an adventurous journey aboard Adelaar starting from Serangan Harbor in Bali. Begin with a check dive at the serene Blue Lagoon in Padang Bay, followed by exploring the vibrant coral reefs of Amed and Gili Selang, where encounters with Napoleon fish, turtles, and reef sharks await. Sail overnight to Moyo Island for two dives along its fringing reef and a shore excursion to a local village and waterfall. Day four brings thrilling encounters with whale sharks in Teluk Saleh Bay, North Sumbawa, followed by muck diving in Balahai and a night dive. Explore Satonda Island's volcanic crater lake, offering diving and snorkeling amidst colorful reefs and unique critters. Conclude with dives around Moyo's protected coral reefs and a visit to cascading waterfalls, ending with a return to Bali after an unforgettable marine adventure.

Day 1: Welcome to Adelaar!
he meeting point will be at the Main Passenger Jetty in Serangan Harbor at 8:30 AM, where our crew are standing by to welcome you. As soon as everyone is aboard, we depart Serangan and move along the coastline of Bali. Check dive in the Blue Lagoon in Padang Bay.

Day 2: Amed / Gili Selang
Situated at the entrance of the Lombok Strait, it boasts an exceptional coral reef. The marine life here is very different from that in the Amed and Tulamben areas. The site features a small bay, with the island of Gili Selang enclosing it and forming the easternmost point of Bali. The density of coral and reef fish here is exceptional, and it is common to encounter Napoleon fish, turtles, and both reef and oceanic sharks. Cruising overnight to Moyo Island. We hope for a magnificent sunset over Bali's majestic Mt Agung.

Day 3: Moyo Island
We arrive at Moyo Island early this morning, for 2 dives along the fringing reef, near the main village. A shore excursion takes you through the local village along a winding path towards a waterfall. Those daring enough can grab the rope, swing out over the falls and drop into the pool below! We enter the bay of Teluk Saleh to be in position for whale sharks early morning.

Day 4: Teluk Saleh
Teluk Saleh Bay located North Sumbawa where we will spend time with the surfacing Whale sharks. This permanent aggregate of whale sharks have recently been discovered. Conservation International was instrumental in tagging the sharks and educating the local villages on conservation measures to preserve the habitat of these gentle giants. Our onboard team works closely with the local village who guide us to the spots of recent sightings. Early morning snorkeling and diving session with the sea giants. In the afternoon muck diving in Balahai followed by a night dive.

Day 5: Satonda
Satonda Island, a small ancient volcano north of Sumbawa, offers a variety of adventures for visitors. The island features a fascinating crater lake and has been a protected Marine Nature Park since 1999. Surrounded by coral reefs, Satonda is perfect for scuba diving and snorkeling. Dive to see vibrant reefs and small critters, including the elusive pygmy seahorse. Snorkelers can enjoy the shallow reefs teeming with colorful tropical fish. Satonda Island offers kayaking on the tranquil crater lake, with the chance to spot bats in the surrounding trees. For hikers, a 45-minute trek to a lookout point on the crater's southern rim provides breathtaking views of the lake and Mt. Tambora. At sunset, witness the spectacular sight of thousands of flying foxes taking flight from their nests in the tall trees, best viewed from a tender boat near the beach.

Day 6: Moyo
The west side of the island features protected coral reefs in front of a main village where locals prohibit fishing. Divers enjoy mild currents, plentiful fish, and excellent visibility with encounters including sharks, rays, and sometimes manta rays. The closer falls, a 2-kilometer walk from the pier, have cascading pools and a rope swing.

Day 7: Bali
After breakfast, it is time to say goodbye disembark and – until the next time.
