Tulamben Bali

Tulamben is a small fishing village on the north-east coast of Bali. The region belongs to Northeast Bali locally called Karangasem which covers most of Bali’s east coast with its capital city Amlapura.
The Journey from south Bali to Tulamben takes you through beautiful Balinese countryside, past rice terraces, along the coast, via rural villages, with great views of mount Agung Bali most revered volcano.

The ride from Bali’s international airport will approximately take 2 hours through Bali’s newest highway of Tohpati – Kusamba. The village of Tulamben is located approximately 20 minutes after Tirtagangga. The resort is located right on the village bay next to a local temple called Pura Batu Kelebit. A resort sign is set by the main road to guide you to its entrance. There is certainly another option available through the region of Kintamani heading to Tejakula but the above rout is most recommended as it is the shortest and most convenient.

It sits at the foot of Mount Agung in the tiny village of Tulamben in the northeastern coast of Bali, right on the black lava-rock beach and some of Bali’s most accessible coral reefs.

It is among the most popular dive sites on Bali since the wreck of the Liberty, a US Army Transport ship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942 lies just off shore. During high-season, up to 100 divers descend to the wreck each day.

Tulamben Bay, being on Bali’s northeast coast, receives vary plankton-rich waters from the Indonesian Through flow (the major ocean current that moves from the Pacific to Indian Ocean)
Slightly north of Tulamben is Kubu with plentiful gorgonians, bommies with beautiful soft corals, scores of nudis, and where conditions always seem to be calm! Five minutes eastwards by outrigger, batu kelebit is is where you are most likely to see pelagics including on rare occasions – dolphins. Further east, Batu Niti has the area’s most pristine corals. There is also `muck-diving’ on seraya slope, 5 minutes south of Tulamben Bay.
