Why the Mangrove Forest is a Must-Visit
Spanning over 200 hectares, Nusa Lembongan’s mangroves are protected and vital to local biodiversity. Instead of crashing waves, the mangroves offer tranquillity where only bird calls and soft paddles break the silence.
A Sustainable Way to Explore. With over-tourism rising, low-impact Lembongan activities matter. Mangrove tours use small non-motorised wooden boats guided by locals, ensuring:
-
No Carbon Footprint: Protecting the delicate roots of the trees.
-
Supporting Local Community: Providing a steady income for the village cooperatives that manage the forest.
Top Activities in Lembongan Mangrove Forest
Whether you are an adventure seeker or a relaxation enthusiast, there are several ways to experience this emerald wilderness.
1. Traditional Gondola Tours
See the forest on a traditional gondola. Relax as your guide steers through winding waterways—perfect for photography, with magical light streaming through the canopy.
2. Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
For core exercise, try SUP in the calm mangroves. Even beginners can paddle easily here—no fear of choppy waves.
3. Kayaking for Solo Explorers
Prefer your own pace? Rent a kayak to explore deeper, smaller channels where big boats can't go. It’s a truly immersive experience.
Planning Your Visit: Tips and Tricks
To make the most of your eco-adventure, keep these tips in mind:
-
Go at High Tide: This is the most important tip. At low tide, the water recedes, making many channels impassable. Check local tide charts or ask our concierge at Lembongan Beach Club & Resort for the best time to head out.
-
Early Bird Gets the View: Aim for a 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM start. The temperature is cooler, birds are most active, and you’ll beat the day-trip crowds arriving from mainland Bali.
-
Pack Eco-Friendly: Bring mineral sunscreen and a reusable water bottle. Protecting water quality is essential for the health of nearby coral reefs.
From the Forest to the Beach
After a morning in the mangroves, retreat to Lembongan Beach Club & Resort. Relax on the sands of Jungut Batu or by the infinity pool overlooking the ocean protected by the mangroves.
