Padang Bai, a vibrant port town in Bali, is renowned for its excellent diving and snorkeling spots in East Bali. Nestled in a protected bay with hills and long beaches, it has evolved into a famous port with colorful boats crafting on the shore. Serving as a gateway to Lombok and nearby islands, Padang Bai facilitates ferry and speed boat transfers, taking approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to Lombok, weather permitting.

Apart from its role as a transportation hub, Padang Bai is a tourist-worthy destination. Renowned for diving and snorkeling, its top spots include Blue Lagoon, The Jetty, and Ferry Channel, where encounters with turtles, sharks, and Giant Trevally are common.
