Hello everyone !! My fiance and I are traveling to Bali close to the end of May and our first stop is Pemuteran. We are staying three nights there and would love to get as much information as possible as to the best activities and places to see. Our main goal is of course to be in the water a bit to do some snorkeling, so the more detailed information/connections you could give us, we would appreciate it greatly. We know of the Turtle Hatchery and Menjagan Island, but any specific information related to the two or to other attractions/activities would be awesome.
Please let us know all you know -- we are relying a lot on trip advisor and you guys so the more info we get the better.
Thank you so much................

Pemuteran Agenda ???
We stayed at Puri Ganesha in Pemuteran a year or so ago. It was lovely. Ahhh... to be there now. We dream about as we still are getting snow up here in WI! The snorkeling is good both off the shore and if you take a boat out to the island there is an amazing wall where you can spend a few hours and see amazing sea life. Make sure to keep your backside well lotioned. My suit rode up and I had a very, very painful massage by a local healer the next day! They brought me a slice of Aloe like I%26#39;ve never seen! I was grateful nonetheless!
If you have not been to the north side of Bali before, know it is very very different. I love the contrast and the quiet, but it is a complete contrast to the south and to Ubud.
Take your time driving up... some of the most spectacular scenery you will see in your life driving through the mountains and the rice fields. Although my daughter who 9 when we were there, still talks about it being a bit scary with a crazy driver.
Other things to do... drive through the national park, see the pearl factory nearby and go and check out a very cool environmental project where they have tested using low-voltage electricity to restore the reef. You can see it and snorkel in the project right off the beach. Fox News did a story on it a while back. Here%26#39;s the link. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315272,00.html
Aside from snorkeling at Menjangan island, I recommend doing as little as possible.
I spent 3 perfect days (4 nights) at Adi Assri in January. My days were spent: swimming, reading, napping, drinking cocktails, and occasionally taking a walk for dinner (Taman Selini has excellent food).
It%26#39;s a long drive to get there (a solid 4 hours, more over the mountains through Munduk), so don%26#39;t be silly and overbook your time. Watching it rain, hanging out and talking to the other guests and staff. It was paradise.
Just east of Adi Assri is a local owned crafts shop on the beach. Teenagers man the counter. I greatly regret I didn%26#39;t fill my suitcase. The bangles (5000 rupiah?) and necklaces and belts (15,000) I got there were extremely popular.
i%26#39;m curious about why you have asked your question again as you asked the same question in december and january. when are you going to pemuteran?
Rockterrigal -- I%26#39;m asking again just to get a fresh batch of comments and suggestions. Not everyone goes back through all the archived posts, so I prefer to post similar questions every month or so just to see if any new experts/travelers have new ideas. Just want to make sure I cover all the bases.
Sooooo, with that said, I appreciate everyone%26#39;s responses and PLEASE keep em coming. We like going in to these trips with a wide array of ideas and things to do. That way we can kind of suit or vacation around what we think we would enjoy the best. We don%26#39;t want to miss a thing............
thanks jkohlbecker11.
We%26#39;re trying to decide whether to spend more time in Pemuteran or spend a couple days along the east coast Ahmed and below before going to the Gili%26#39;s. Any thoughts?
