When most travelers think of Bali, they picture sun-drenched temples, terraced rice fields, and surf-swept beaches. But beneath the surface is a world just as rich: vibrant coral reefs, dramatic wrecks, and encounters with mantas and mola mola. A Bali dive safari offers the rare opportunity to experience both the cultural heartbeat and the marine wonders of this Indonesian gem in one unforgettable journey.
What is a Dive Bali Safari?
Unlike a traditional dive vacation circling in one location, Dive Bali Safari takes you across Bali’s coastlines stopping at multiple dive sites and cultural areas along the way. It’s the perfect blend of road trip and dive expedition. From the black sands of Tulamben to the crystal-clear waters of Nusa Penida, every day brings a new dive site, new landscape, and new experiences.
Here’s some of the top dive sites on our Dive Bali Safari:
- Tulamben
One of the most famous dive sites for the USAT Liberty Wreck, teeming with marine life. - Amed
Close to Tulamben, great for macro lovers and relaxed shore dives. - Padang Bai
Diverse sites include Blue Lagoon and a well-known jetty. - Menjangan Island
Part of Bali Barat National Park with stunning wall dives. - Nusa Penida
Manta rays year-round, and mola mola sightings.
Cultural Experiences Between Dives:
There are a few cultural experiences between dives that you can experience. You can visit a few sacred temples and experience a spiritual reset or healing. Explore traditional villages, observe local crafts and immerse in the culture. Indulge in Bali’s traditional cuisine from warung to beachside seafood spots or even witness daily offerings and ceremonies unique to Balinese Hindu culture.
