Why join a Bodyboard Holiday in Nusa Lembongan?

Imagine Bali, then roll the clock back by thirty years. White sand beaches fringe a translucent blue lagoon where world class waves break with the majestic volcanoes of Bali as a backdrop. Welcome to our bodyboarding island retreat for a week of chilling, re-focusing and of course 7 days of immersion into some of the best bodyboarding waves of your life!

What to expect?

For us the real draw to this trip is waking up to the chorus of cockerels, then walking your way to the coffee urn before stepping on a boat moored just metres from your room and sailing out to one of the many perfect waves the island has to offer. Jumping from the boat into the warm turquoise waters at the time you’d be normally commuting to work is an experience you’ll never forget!

Out of the water, this small island has so much to offer; mangrove walks, world class snorkelling & diving, excellent restaurants, Penida Island to visit Angel’s billabong and more!

Who is this trip for?

This is for the bodyboarder looking for bodyboarding and chill time with delicious food options and breath-taking views. Nusa Lembongan is ideal for all  levels of rider. A novice can learn the basics at the aptly named playgrounds with qualified, safety conscious instructors who will build your confidence to a structured coaching programme, while for the more experienced rider the island has the technical waves of Shipwrecks and Lacerations to free surf your brains out.

EVENING ACTIVITIES

As the sun dips down over Bali there is only one place in the world that you would want to be. That’s slouched in a bean bag, on the beach in front of our accommodation, cold drink in hand, ready to enjoy the awesome sunset light show. As the pink hues refract across the lagoon that stretches out in front of our lodgings it creates one of the most memorable sunsets that you’ll ever see. Add to this the empty line up of perfect waves as the final surfers paddle in and it’s a site to behold. It’s the perfect spot to reflect on a day of epic bodyboarding and is an unofficial meeting point for all the visiting surfers and divers that have found themselves on this beautiful island. You will remember these moments for the rest of your days. As darkness falls, it’s time for a stroll into the village or stay nearby for a well-earned supper. Evenings are super chill in Lembo’ and the perfect way to relax, refuel and recharge after a day in the waves.

Remember to check the baggage size and weight allowance with your airline, as well as reading their guidance for carrying bodyboards. Baggage handlers can be unforgiving, so a tough bag and intelligent packing are a must.

Firstly, pack your board(s) in a protective, padded board bag, and write FRAGILE and TOP LOAD ONLY on it with a permanent marker. Make sure you wrap your towel and clothes around your board inside the bag for added protection. Place your shampoo and other wet toiletries in a separate sealed bag in case of leakage. We also recommend locking the zips on your bag with a padlock.

British nationals can visit Indonesia for up to 30 days without a visa. However, entry into Indonesia may be refused and airlines may turn you away if you have less than six months left on your passport validity, or you don’t have an onward ticket out of the country. If you’re travelling to Indonesia and intend to stay over 30 days (but no more than 60 days), you will need to pay for your visa on arrival at the airport in Bali – this will cost around $35USD.

Please contact your travel agent or airline if you are unsure or have any further questions.

As with any holiday, full travel insurance is a requirement for all guests booking a trip with the company. 

Please also ensure that your policy covers you for ‘disruption to travel’ and ‘cover for cancellations’ as standard.

For further help please read our helpful blog post about travel insurance.

You may need to add additional cover for surfing or bodyboarding, it is essential that your insurance policy covers you for all activities during your stay. Failure to take out travel insurance breaks the contract between Bodyboard Holidays and the client.

If you are joining one of our trips and you are native to the country of its location (i.e you live in Lisbon and are joining our Portugal trip) you do not need to take out medical travel insurance. This is as long as you have your own personal health-care plan or are covered by your country’s National Health Service. Although, we kindly request that you still take out trip disruption and cancellation insurance to cover all possible eventualities.

Health and safety medical advice for UK travellers can be found online at https://www.gov.uk/world

Otherwise, contact your GP or the Department of Health (DoH) for further information. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) also issues up-to-date information on safety issues for countries world-wide. Contact the FCO travel advice line on 020 7238 4503/4504 if you have any concerns.

Please contact your doctor if you’re unsure about vaccinations. We advise you to take mosquito repellent to avoid getting bitten, though we’ve never been aware of any malaria or dengue fever cases in the areas that we visit. According to netdoctor.co.uk, the risk is very low.

It is difficult to obtain Indonesian Rupiah outside the country so we recommend taking a debit or credit card and using cash points once you’ve landed. You will find some ATM’s at the airport. Our accommodation has lock boxes for both passports and cash. You can exchange sterling cash with Balinese money-changers but this is less convenient than using cards. Stop two of the trip is to the island of Nusa Lembongan; there are only a few cash points here so we will make sure to visit one on the mainland before heading over.

We recommend taking at least two bank cards in case one becomes lost or damaged.

Please refer to the “What to budget for?” section.
