Turtle Island, Off Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua

We decided to take a boat to visit the turtle conservation and development center which is located 15 mins from Tanjung Benoa.

We sat on a boat with glass bottom so we could see the underworld activities as we pass by. When reached the center , we were told that it is compulsory to donate Rp5,000 in order to visit and view the turtles. There were turtles of all ages... from few weeks to years old....It was just like seeing the growth of a turtle from hatchlings to adulthood but real-life.

There were many other animals which visitors can take photo with namely bat, snake, hornbill and ant-eater.

Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua

Once we reached Nusa Dua, we head to Tanjung Benoa. The scenery was peaceful and the sun was shining bright upon us. Some tourists were enjoying the activities provided by individual beach operators which includes para sailing, jet ski, banana boat etc.

We also happen to pass by a temple below but it was not open, therefore we could only take pics from the outside.
