We spent 1 week on Nusa Lembongan. The fast boat to Nusa Lembongan is interesting. We had a driver pick us up at the airport and we had just enough time to make it to the boats that leave daily for the island. When we arrived at the boat area, there was a little confusion as to where our boat was parked. The tide happened to be very low at the time and os the boats all moved to a different area along the beach. After our amazing driver ran up and down the beach asking about the boat, we finally got to the correct area. Had we not had a driver that worked so hard to get us there on time, we would have not made the boat and would have had to find an alternate place to stay that night. all our bags were loaded onto the boat by the boat company. We were asked to put all our footwear into the green basket and wade through the water to hop onto the boat.
When we arrived on the island, the basket of flip flops was dumped onto the sand and it was a free for all to find our shoes.
We took an amazing snorkel trip to snorkel with the mantas and then the next day we couldn't resist going back to dive with the manta!! The trip to the location was an experience in itself. The scenery was spectacular!!
The morning we went on the dive, we left fairly early so we could get to the dive site before all the other boats arrived and we'd have the mantas all to ourselves. The plan worked perfectly and we were able to dive with 12 mantas for 55 minutes before anyone else showed up. It was one of the most serene dives. Sitting at the bottom of the ocean watching as all around us these huge majestic creatures swooped and slide by us. Not seeming to mind one bit that we joined their breakfast swim.
This is not our video, but it was close to what we saw while snorkelling the first time and then we were at the bottom scuba diving the second time.
We decided to go for a day of touring the island. Scooter rentals are the most common and really the only way to go exploring. It
Some of the streets were a little scary to maneuver around.
Drying seaweed along the road. Maybe this is seaweed that we eat in our sushi??
We would occasionally hike over to the hotel down the road. They had an amazing infinity pool that they let the public use after 6pm if you ordered a drink.

We ate well every day.
We had a room for 3. Miranda got the mattress on the floor

We found another infinity pool

More food. Mmm

All in all Nusa Lembongan is a place we really enjoyed and a place I would recommend going to for 5-7 days
