Menjangan Island

Menjangan Island is an uninhabited island in West Bali National Park, off the northwest coast near Pemuteran. The island’s name means deer island and refers to the Javan rusa deer that live there.

What you find there

Visitors find dry forest, coastal cliffs, sandy shore, temple shrines and surrounding marine habitat. The island is reached by boat, and its coral reefs and clear coastal waters are used for diving and snorkelling under national park rules.

Natural setting

Menjangan is part of the protected Bali Barat ecosystem, which includes mangroves, savanna, monsoon forest, coral reefs and seagrass areas. The island’s separation from Bali supports a distinct coastal environment.

Visiting

Access is by boat and is subject to national park and sea conditions. Visitors should use authorised routes and follow park rules for wildlife, reefs and religious sites. Public sources locate the island in Gerokgak, Buleleng, Bali.
