Welcome to a bodyboarding island paradise!

Whether you’re a seasoned shredder or a fresh-faced grommet, Nusa Lembongan has something for you.

Nusa Lembongan Bali bodyboarding

1. Hassle Free Bodyboarding

Nusa Lembongan is a bodyboarder’s dream. Forget long paddles and tiring duck dives – here, you can wake up, grab your board, and walk straight from your beachfront accommodation onto a surf taxi boat that takes you directly to the lineup. The waves offer something for everyone, from the gentle beginner breaks of Playgrounds and high-tide Lassoโ€™s to the barreling tubes of Razors and Shipwrecks for advanced riders. Don’t be fooled by the scary names – these waves are super fun, and with our knowledge of the tides and conditions, we’ll have you riding the perfect waves in no time.

2. Refuel for Epic Sessions

With breaks working across a range of tides, the only reason to leave the water might be the delicious restaurants lining the beachfront. From local favourites like nasi goreng and fresh coconuts to tropical smoothie bowls and energising lattes, you’ll find everything you need to refuel for back-to-back sessions. Plus, with affordable local meals and a wide range of options, you can indulge in guilt-free lunches and dinners, with breakfast included in your Bodyboard Holidays package. A hearty breakfast is included in our trip price.ย 

3. Explore the Vibrant Coral Reef

The crystal-clear waters scream for underwater exploration. Between sets, grab your mask and snorkel and dive into a world of colour. Vibrant fish weave through the coral reefs, while majestic manta rays, known as the “Angels of the Sea,” glide gracefully in the deeper waters. Snorkel boat trips depart the beachfront daily, taking you to idyllic bays and deserted beaches between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, offering encounters with tropical fish, turtles, and of course, the awe-inspiring manta rays.

4. Island Hopping Adventures

No trip to Nusa Lembongan is complete without exploring the neighbouring islands. Hop on a scooter or hitch a ride on a pick-up truck and discover the jungle-clad roads that connect the islands. Cross the iconic yellow bridge to Nusa Ceningan and witness the unique marine algae farms where locals cultivate seaweed. Continue to the western tip to watch the powerful waves crash at Mahana Point. If you’re feeling adventurous, take the plunge from the local warung (restaurant) perched on the cliffside!

5. Unforgettable Sunsets

Nusa Lembongan boasts some of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever witness. Each evening, the sky ignites with vibrant colours, reflecting on the calm waters of the low-tide lagoon. As the last rays of sun cast a golden glow on the majestic Mount Agung volcano, take a moment to soak in the beauty and serenity of this incredible place. End your epic day with a refreshing beverage and live music or DJ sets at Ohana’s Beach Club, toasting to an unforgettable adventure at Nusa Lembongan!
