Amed Snorkeling

One of the best snorkeling experiences in Bali can be found in Amed, a laid-back coastal village in East Bali. What makes Amed truly special is the opportunity to snorkel directly from traditional jukung — a Balinese outrigger fishing boat.

Snorkeling by boat in Amed allows you to reach some of the area’s most vibrant and least crowded reefs, including sites like the Japanese Shipwreck, Jemeluk Bay, and Lipah Bay. These spots are known for their clear waters, healthy coral gardens, and abundant marine life.

Taking a jukung out with our local guides not only adds an authentic cultural touch to your adventure, but also gives you access to calm, offshore snorkeling spots that are often unreachable from the shore. It’s one of the most relaxed, beautiful ways to experience Bali’s underwater world.
