Nusa Dua - Bali, Indonesia

Panoramic view of Nusa Dua beach in Bali

Whether you are a tourist or not, you must have heard the mention of "Bali paradise" in Indonesia at least once. This place is famous as one of the leading tourist destinations in Southeast Asia when it owns many beautiful beaches. But there is one beach that impresses me the most when traveling to Bali, which is Nusa Dua. The moment I arrived here, I felt the fine white sand flowing through my toes, and in front of my eyes was the clear blue sea. Although I have only come here once, my favorite thing is lying on the couch under the shade of coconut trees, closing my eyes and enjoying the characteristic scent of the sea brought by the gentle breezes. It's a wonderful feeling.

Some Bali travel experiences I have accumulated:

The ideal time to travel to Bali is in the dry season, which is around May - October. Because June, July & August are the peak tourist months, so if you have time, you should go in the months. remaining in the dry season to fully enjoy Bali in your own way.
I am a person who likes to travel on my own, and I have an uncle who has been to Bali before, so I planned the trip with my family. If you have never traveled to Indonesia and come to Bali, I recommend that you try to take the tour of travel companies first to experience, as well as optimize the cost.
In your luggage should be useful items such as separate sunscreen for face and body (in my opinion SPF 50+, PA ++++ is good, depending on your skin type), sunscreen insect bites, lightweight clothes and water bottles (because here, the use of plastic bottles is limited to protect the environment & landscape).
Sometimes there are wild animals "lost" so you also need to pay attention and be on guard.
Indonesia is a country of religious customs, so you need to pay attention to learn a little bit first!

Pink Beach, Komodo - Indonesia

The unique beauty of Pink Beach

A unique beauty for tourists to explore freely this summer is Hong beach. This destination is located in the Komodo national park complex and was recognized by UNESCO as a world natural heritage in 1991. This place is famous on the tourist map for its unique blend of blue of the sea and pink. of the sandbank. The reason the sand grains here are pink is because they are mixed with coral sand to create a different color; Depending on the brightness of the sun, the sand beach will change color from light pink, pale pink to rose red.

I have had great experiences scuba diving to see the colorful coral reefs as well as colorful fishes here. The cost for a scuba diving trip is also affordable, so you can consider trying it!

Some of my experiences when scuba diving to see corals at Komodo Island:

To be able to explore around the island and move to the diving spot, a liveaboard boat is the most suitable means of transport. Depending on the type of boat (capacity, the purpose of using the boat overnight, service provider ...) the cost of renting a boat varies. The time my family hired to carry 4 people was about 5 million Rupiah for 8 hours (about 8 million VND).
The right times for you to experience scuba diving are from April to August and from October to December. This is the time of the dry season, with little rain, so marine species such as rays, sperm whales. , sea slugs, green turtles ... will converge around the island a lot, giving you the pleasure of watching them and countless colorful coral species here.
