Photograph: Underwater Menjangan Island



This is one of the coolest underwater pictures that I took exactly one year ago.....

I can never get enough looking and staring at this beauty..... 

Yes, Indonesia has so many cool and awesome travel destinations especially the underwater parks that are located across the waters of Indonesia. One of the most amazing and quite well managed snorkeling and diving destinations in Indonesia is Pulau Menjangan (Menjangan Island) in Northwest of Bali, which is where this amazing photograph was taken.....

For more information, you can google about the place. I am sure there are already a lot of information regarding the place across the internet.

One thing you have to know for sure is that it gotta make your bucket list if you are one of those coral and fish fans.......

My Next Travel Destination: Komodo National Park & Flores


After a couple days of thinking and researching, I decided that Komodo National Park would be my next Indonesian travel destination. There are so many beautiful places in Indonesia that I want to explore but this one just can't wait any longer.

I have been wanting to go since last year when I realized that it's one of the most fascinating places in the world, one place that is so unique and can't be found anywhere else in the planet. And yes, this one is something that we Indonesians should be very proud of....

I am so excited to meet the giant lizards, to experience the life of the locals, to enjoy the panoramic views, and to explore the underwater life of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. It will for sure be a different world and something very very exciting to experience.

Talking about expectations, I do have a lot of expectations about this particular place and fingers crossed that it will satisfy my wanderlust cravings. Therefore, I can't wait to check off one of the many many items in my travel bucket list and hopefully it will happen SOON.

I might combine my trip to Wae Rebo and Kelimutu National Park depending on the schedule that I am making later....


So who else is in for the possibly adventure of a lifetime? *wink*

Watch out for my adventures in East Nusa Tenggara, the next biggest Indonesian travel destination..... :)

Oh when can I go on another snorkeling trip? Hopefully, I can make it happen soon..... :)

Have a great day everybody!

Pesona Alam Bawah Laut Pulau Menjangan

Pesona Indonesia memang tidak pernah ada matinya, apalagi pesona alam bawah lautnya. Luas laut di Indonesia yang jauh melebihi luas daratannya membuat negara Indonesia unik dan kaya akan keanekaragaman lautnya. Ada banyak sekali pulau-pulau kecil nan indah yang tersebar di seantero nusantara. Salah satunya adalah Pulau Menjangan.

Pulau Menjangan adalah sebuah pulau kecil yang terletak di Bali bagian barat, dekat dengan Pelabuhan Gilimanuk. Untuk menuju ke sana, Anda bisa mengendarai mobil atau menggunakan angkutan umum seperti bus atau bemo yang cukup sering beroperasai dari Singaraja menuju Pelabuhan Gilimanuk ataupun sebaliknya. Dari Gilimanuk, perjalanan dapat ditempuh hanya sekitar 15 menit, sedangkan dari Singaraja, perjalanan dapat memakan waktu sekitar 90 menit sampai 2 jam.

Untuk menyeberang ke Pulau Menjangan, cara termudah dan mungkin terbaik adalah dari Labuhan Lalang. Anda dapat bertanya kepada penduduk lokal ataupun supir bemo dan bus bahwa Anda ingin pergi ke Pulau Menjangan, dan Anda akan langsung dibawa menuju Labuhan Lalang. Di Labuhan Lalang, Anda dapat bertanya kepada petugas yang menjaga dermaga dan mengatur penyewaan perahu, alat-alat snorkeling atau diving, dan juga tour guide.


Waktu yang terbaik untuk pergi menyeberang ke Pulau Menjangan adalah di pagi hari. Jika bisa, sampailah di Labuhan Lalang di pagi hari yang dimana kemungkinan banyak orang lain juga akan datang ke sana dan ingin menyeberang. Nah, pada saat inilah Anda dapat menghemat kantong Anda dengan mengajak group lain untuk menyewa perahu bersama-sama.

Pesona alam bawah laut di Pulau Menjangan masih relatif sehat dimana masih banyak terumbu karang yang kondisinya masih sangat bagus dan tidak rusak. Berbagai snorkeling dan diving spot juga menawarkan berbagai pengalaman yang berbeda dimana Anda bisa menyaksikan secara langsung keanekaragaman bentuk dan warna terumbu karang ataupun ikan-ikan yang ada di sekitar Pulau Menjangan. Sulit dipungkiri bahwa keindahan alam bawah laut di Pulau Menjangan merupakan salah satu yang terbaik yang ada di Indonesia.




Memang Bali bagian barat bukanlah bagian dari Bali yang paling sering dikunjungi oleh wisatawan lokal maupun mancanegara, namun Bali bagian barat khususnya Pulau Menjangan memiliki potensi yang luar biasa untuk dikembangkan dan berhak untuk mendapat sorotan yang lebih luas di mata dunia pariwisata Indonesia. Jika Anda menginginkan liburan di Bali yang memberikan Anda ketenangan dan jauh dari hiruk pikuk Bali bagian Selatan, di sinilah tempatnya. Anda dapat bersantai maupun berolahraga air dengan nyaman dan puas.

Semoga kita dapat mempertahankan kealamian dan keindahan alam bawah laut Indonesia yang luar biasa ini. Jangan sampai Anda ketinggalan dan tidak melihat secara langsung kekayaan yang Indonesia miliki di Pulau Menjangan ini.

Snorkeling Tips: How to Prevent Mask Fogging During Snorkeling

Prevent Snorkel Mask Fogging In Four Steps

  1. Clean your mask often, and then don’t touch it inside. Clean it with toothpaste, and a toothbrush, not your finger. Apply a small amount of non-abrasive toothpaste, and scrub it in hot water. Rinse it completely in hot water. Do this often.
  2. Use anti-fog every time you snorkel. The best is a very mild solution of baby shampoo and water, or an anti-fog product. Spray it in your mask, swish it around and dump it out. DO NOT RUB IT AROUND WITH YOUR FINGERS! Your fingers are oily and dirty. Also, don’t rinse it out with fresh water. You want the mild soap coating on the glass. It helps prevent moisture attachment. That is why you want it to be a very mild solution without perfumes so it does not burn or irritate your eyes.
  3. Get as little water in the mask as possible. Shake out any anti-fog or other water drops before using it. Try to have a relatively dry face. Once the mask is on with a good seal, try to keep from removing it and allowing moisture to enter. Try not to clear the mask by breathing inside of it unless you must (that adds moisture). We enter the water with a dry mask, over a dry face, and do not take that mask off at all during the snorkel, if possible. And it works.
  4. If all else fails and you are out on the water with a foggy mask, remove it, spit in it, shake the mask around to coat the glass (don’t rub it with your fingers), dump it out, and put it back on, this will generally fix the problem. If you don't have a lot of spit, dilute it with a small amount of salt water to coat the glass.
