The experience

The Aristocat departs Benoa Harbour in the morning and sails across to Lembongan, with fishing on the way. Once you arrive at the private Beach Club in the bay, the day opens up: you can lie back in the shade of the gardens, wade into the lagoon pool, or head straight into the water with snorkeling gear to explore the coral. The catamaran itself is built for comfort, and the crew handles the logistics while you move between the boat, the beach and the water.

From 11 AM to 2 PM, banana boat rides run on a loop, as many trips as you want during that window. Snorkeling tours depart throughout the day, and a guided Lembongan Island tour is included if you want to step off the sand. The BBQ lunch arrives mid-day, along with coffee, tea and snacks. Towels and lockers are yours for the day, and the Beach Club facilities (the pool, the SUP boards, the shade) stay open the whole time you're there.

Hotel pickup and drop-off bookend the day, so you don't arrange transport to the harbour. The nine-hour window gives you real time in the water and on the sand without the rush of a shorter excursion. Souvenir photos are available to purchase if you want them, and alcoholic drinks can be ordered separately.
