Snorkeling Menjangan Marine Park from Pemuteran

Deer Island's corals sit in water so shallow you can stand up between dives.

Snorkel Menjangan Marine Park, a protected marine reserve off the coast of Pemuteran, with a certified instructor guiding you through shallow coral gardens and warm, calm waters year-round. The 20-minute boat transfer from Pemuteran, snorkeling equipment, park entrance fee, snacks on the boat and dive center facilities are all included. Underwater cameras are available to rent. Children from age 5 are welcome, and the only requirement is that you swim comfortably.

The experience

The boat leaves Pemuteran and reaches Menjangan island in 20 minutes across usually calm water. Once there, you enter the marine park with a certified instructor who speaks English, Spanish or French and leads you into shallow coral gardens: the deepest parts sit around one meter down, which means you can stand up between snorkeling sessions if you need a break. The water stays warm and clear all year, and visibility is typically excellent.

You'll see small fish in abundance, sea turtles, and corals in colors most people only see in photographs. Between water time, you can walk onto the island itself, where a small limestone temple sits inland and deer roam the beaches: Menjangan means "deer island" in Indonesian. The snorkeling equipment is provided and fitted for you. If you want digital photos or video of what you see underwater, cameras are available to rent separately.

Snacks come on the boat, and the dive center at Pemuteran has a restaurant if you want a full meal before or after. Facilities include WiFi, showers, lockers and a change room. The whole activity runs about five hours from the time you leave Pemuteran until you're back on shore.
