Indonesia's
leading Marine Tourism Company, Bali Hai Cruises, operates exciting Day
and Evening Cruises from a private reception facility at Benoa Harbour,
Bali. Aboard a fleet of the most luxurious, modern vessels in Bali,
experienced, professional and friendly crew ensures the very best blend
of Indonesian and Western hospitality.
Bali Hai Cruises visits Nusa Lembongan, located 20km off Bali's East
Coast in what is known as the "Three Island region". The Island is
approximately 4kms long and 2kms wide and is home to around 4,000
inhabitants. Nusa Lembongan and its sister islands, Nusa Penida and
Ceningan, are
surrounded by crystal clear water and spectacular coral reef which
makes for fantastic snorkeling and diving. Aside from Tourism, the main
industry on the island is seaweed farming. The seaweed is cultivated,
harvested and then exported all over the world for use in cosmetics,
food stabilizers and medicines. Other sources of income include
traditional wooden boat building, farming peanuts, sweet potato crops,
and fishing. You can have a sampling of this during the village tour. |
