There are lots quirky things to see and do on Nusa Lembongan. The island is much bigger than the Gili’s but it is easy to travel around the whole island on a moped (with one main road covering the length of the island). We spent a day exploring which gave us another day to go
We had an amazing holiday in Indonesia, working our way from Bali to the Gili islands and Lombok, before returning to Ubud in Bali. All footage is captured on a GoPro 3+; starting in Seminyak (Bali) with the release of a baby turtle and then scuba diving with more turtles around the Gili islands! We
Elephant Safari Park and Lodge We were picked up by Bali Adventure Tours from our hotel at 06:50AM to travel to the Elephant Safari Park and Lodge. Having seen elephants in the wild on safari in South Africa, I’m not sure how I feel about these elephants being kept in captivity. However, I did feel
After diving in Koh Tao I was completely in awe of the amazing corals and underwater life that Thailand had to offer, however diving around the Gili islands was on another level! Although the Lombok straight has a history of dynamite fishing, the Gili’s are working hard to restore the reef and the marine life is
After staying 4 days on Gili Trawangan, I couldn’t wait to get over to Gili Air and do some diving. We were dropped off at the Harbour by a “private boat” that we organised whilst staying on Gili T… didn’t realise this actually meant sharing a boat with all the locals heading over to Lombok
We splashed out a bit for our stay at Gili Trawangan and stayed in the wonderful Ko Ko Mo resort. It was great and the restaurant was really good.. but it is worth remembering a “private pool” in Bali is normally the size of a big (and deep) Jacuzzi! The breakfast was amazing and we
Our Bali adventure started in Seminyak which is fairly close to Kuta, on the West Coast of Bali. Both destinations are now very popular tourist destinations, although Kuta has been described as similar to Benidorm whilst Seminyak has a slightly more upmarket reputation. There are LOADS of hotels to choose from in Seminyak ranging from
Well our time on Koh Phangan didn’t go quite as we’d expected… after a terrible journey across from Koh Tao following a morning full of seasickness, we were pleased to reach the safe haven of Sabai beach. We spent the first day chilling and started to think maybe we had picked up some food poisoning
We experienced a few restaurants during our short stay on Koh Tao and I have to recommend a couple of places that we really enjoyed for both food and drinks: Su Chilli – great for a cheap Thai meal, incredibly quick service and so is good for if the meal needs to be quick to
Koh Tao is a great place to learn to scuba dive, there is loads to see and a variety of around 25 different dive sites. I did 6 fun dives whilst Rob completed his PADI Open water and was in awe of the amazing fish and corals around the island. The logistics… We did quite
