Highlights from Day 8 of our Bali Adventure - took a boat ride from Pemuteran to Menjangan Island in West Bali National Park to see what we could see below the surface of the Java Sea!
The ocean did not disappoint! Beautiful coral, incredible fish, even a solo turtle and a barracuda. No major sun burns reported! Dinner on our own and a Balinese dance group at the hotel capped off the evening! 🏝️ 🐢 🌏🐠🐟🐡🪼

Day 7 of GlobalOkie Travel’s Bali Adventure continues to explore more of this gorgeous island - from bohemian Ubud to beachfront Pemuteran! The stunning sunrise made a wonderful backdrop for a little pre-breakfast consuming of the mangoes snagged from the trees outside our villas. After breakfast we enjoyed hearing about the reef restoration efforts carried out by and snorkeling over their budding coral growths just steps off the beach from our resort. Afterwards, we learned about turtle hatchery mission. Lots of baby turtles soon to be released into the tranquil waters of the Java Sea. The afternoon was spent chilling at or at the spa or beach. — This trip is going to happen again next year if anyone wants to get spots saved! 🏝️ 🐢 🐠 🤿
