Blue Lagoon Snorkeling & East Coast
Bali's clearest shallow reef for easy snorkeling, plus the black-sand beaches of Padangbai and a Tirta Gangga stop.
The day
Blue Lagoon, just outside Padangbai on Bali's east coast, is one of the easiest and most rewarding snorkel spots on the island — a sheltered bay with clear water, a healthy reef, and loads of fish in genuinely swimmable depth (no strong currents, no long boat ride). It's great for first-timers. You'll get two hours in the water with masks, fins, and a local boatman, then head up to Tirta Gangga water palace for stepping-stone koi photos and lunch. We can add Taman Ujung or return via the coast road through east Bali's black-sand villages. Calm, scenic, swimmable — a good pick for hot days.
Highlights
- Snorkel Blue Lagoon's shallow reef
- Healthy coral, clownfish, parrotfish, sometimes turtles
- Tirta Gangga royal water palace
