Lembongan Island, Indonesia: The Bali Fun Ship

On July 5th we decided to get out of Kuta, Bali, and spend the day out on the water exploring the area of Lembongan Island (a small island in between Bali and Lombok in Indonesia).

We boarded The Bali Fun Ship and spent the day relaxing in the sun, enjoying water sports, and touring the island of Lembongan.

The boat was equipped with a water slide, an underwater observation area and a Jacuzzi. We were also able to use snorkelling equipment and go for rides on a banana boat!

Snorkelling was a lot of fun and we saw some fish and coral:

But we had a better view of the coral and fish when we went down into the underwater observation room:

We also made good use of the water slide: 

The area was beautiful and the water was amazingly blue!

After enjoying the water sports on the boat, we headed onto the island of Lembongan.

Lembongan is a small island (about 8 square kilometers), and has a population of about 5,000. The major business on the island is seaweed farming, and about 90% of the population works in this field, while the other 10% works in the tourist industry.

The seaweed is harvested from the ocean, and then left out to dry for a few days. It is then sold to be used in cosmetic and medicinal products.

While on the island we had access to the pool at one of the resorts, and it had an amazing infinity pool and view of the bay!

This was our last day in Bali, and it was well spent relaxing and enjoying some fun in the sun. The following day we would be flying to Singapore to spend 3 days exploring and doing some sightseeing.

All in all Bali was a very relaxing and much needed break from my intense travel and sightseeing through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam!
