Travel Notes | I saw "manta rays taking a group bath" on Nusa Penida

One of the favorite check-in places for Ins European and American internet celebrities

Ranked among the most beautiful islands in Southeast Asia

The sea water here is sprinkled with paint

Transparent blue, macaron blue, melancholy blue,

There’s only blue you can’t imagine

Riding a rented motorcycle, we officially started a bumpy trip around the island. My fellow traveler affectionately called the road here "waffle road". The roads on the island are indeed a bit miserable. Getting on the fat-removing machine, getting off the motorcycle and running barefoot when the body was about to leave the body was also a great relief. We arrived at the seaside cliff beach - KelingKing Beach, where the "dinosaurs" were close at hand and the rare pure pure Natural white sand beach, empty ing

There are stone steps carved out of the cliff by local people purely by hand on the vertical cliff of more than 100 meters. It is extremely steep and extremely simple. Although the beach is white, the "airborne" cliff must be used within your ability. Many places are in the shape of a cliff. The climbing angle is 90 degrees, hanging straight on the cliff. It takes at least 45 minutes to descend from the top of the cliff to the beach, and at least an hour to go back up the mountain.

After successfully descending the cliff, the first thing that caught my eye was “Don’t worry, be sexy”. The next second I couldn’t wait to rush to the sea and the beach.

The pure natural, pollution-free and uninhabited white sand beach is undoubtedly the biggest reward. The sand is first-class fine and completely bought. Even when the weather isn't so nice it doesn't disappoint. It is recommended to go down in the morning when the sun is not very strong, read a book on the beach, drink a coconut and enjoy the beach alone. Friendly reminder: Don’t wait to watch the sunset on the beach before returning. It will be very dangerous to go up the mountain after it gets dark!

At noon, when the sun is setting, come to the cave next to the cliff for deep meditation.

Another early morning, we took a diving boat to Manta Ray Bay. According to the description of the diving guide, this is a cleaning station for manta rays, which is where the manta rays come to "bathe" every day. There is no specific time, and it depends on whether you can see it or not. luck. Time passed minute by minute after entering the water. Twenty minutes passed immediately, and there was still no sign of the big guy. I thought that there was no chance today.

Note: The so-called "clean station" actually refers to a coral reef and the small cleaning fish that live in it. Unlike humans, fish do not have hands, but they cannot avoid parasites or parasites when living in seawater. Shellfish come to your doorstep, so large fish will find some cleaning stations in the sea area where they live, and they often come to clean themselves and "scratch" themselves.

Suddenly the diving guide patted me and pointed to the back. A huge manta ray swam slowly from a distance, waving its arms, completely ignoring the existence of the divers. It was the first time that I had such a close contact with the hanging "big long fish". "Needle" manta ray is lying if he says he doesn't panic. It wasn’t until I saw such a huge manta ray that I felt so shocked...

The first manta ray seemed to be here to explore the way. After discovering that the "bathroom" was not very full, more manta rays appeared in groups. The sea was their catwalk, each with elegant and sexy figures. The posture and comfortable state make people envious.

magic The whole process of the ghost fish carnival party lasted about ten minutes. When it emerged from the sea, it was still immersed in the carnival scene under the sea...

As soon as the diving boat returned to port, I could already smell the aroma of cups of customized coffee exclusively from Sumatra, Indonesia...

Although Nusa Penida is small, it has a lot of real stuff: Diamond beach has a blue sea on the left and green mountains on the right. The sea breeze blows on the face and the shadows of coconut trees are so beautiful. Broken beach - from a horizontal perspective, it is a semicircular bridge hole. The bridge is a large circular hole from the overlooking angle Angel's Billabong Time flies every holiday, and I reluctantly watch the sunset on the last island, time to say goodbye to Nusa Penida...

Nusa Penida tips

1. Nusa Penida is about an hour's boat ride from Bali. It can be reached by speedboat from Denpasar Sanur Port in Bali.

2. The island is very primitive, with a lack of tourist facilities, no public transportation, and no mobile phone signal in some areas.

3. Bring an appropriate amount of cash with you when you go to the island. The two ATM machines on the island will not dispense money if you are in a bad mood.

4. Players with average motorcycle skills are advised to hire locals as drivers to travel around the island.

5. Although the island is small, the distance between scenic spots is not short at all. An in-depth tour requires at least three days.
