Tanjung Benoa Beach is located on the eastern tip of Bali island, included in the administrative area of Tanjung Benoa district, Badung regency. This beach is a tourist destination complete enough water. Various water sports facilities available here such as banana boating, snorkeling, flying fish, parasailing and jetsky. But for a lot of sports surfing on the beaches there are other Bali island, can not be found here on this beach because the waves tend to be quiet, making it less conducive to surfing.
Prices are subject to enjoy various water sports facilities were also a variety of ranges from 150 thousand to 200 thousand for usage over 10-15 minutes. But at times crowded, allotted time pemaikan often reduced to about 5 minutes just because of the queue of visitors who want to try. Sometimes compounded by the long queues outside the few tourists who tried to interrupt queue. They often do so because they feel they pay more than local tourists.
Among all the water sports facilities that feels a bit strange to hear here is a flying fish. Water sports are wearing a rubber boat with a capacity of two people with one more for the officer who sat in the middle as a counterweight. Passengers sleep on her back on the boat which will then be towed by a speedboat high speed. The boat will be lifted and flew over the water at an altitude of 10-15 meters. This is called a flying fish. During his stay in the air, the officer who sat in the middle, served to balance the boat so as not to rotate or reversed because of wind.
Given the existence of three people in the boat, sometimes it can happen in cases where such a rubber boat can not fly. This is due to fly requires a high speed boat and also a fairly strong wind. If one of the factors that do not support, then the sensation of flying fish would not be felt, just felt slammed back-hempas by sea.
Another enchantment of this beach is Turtle Island, a distance of approximately 20-30 minutes travel by boat can be hired at a cost of Rp.50 thousand per person. This island is called Turtle Island, because it is breeding various species of endangered sea turtles. Captive itself named Pudut Sari.
Package of a trip to Turtle Island, the visitors were also treated to views of the underwater tourist attraction. The boats are used, modified in such a way with the base of the center of the boat fitted with glass, which makes the shallow sea bottom clearly visible. Various sea fish of diverse color of the body would be a spectacle here. In order for the fish to approaching, drivers ship shore casting bread as bait. Just for a moment, the fish will come closer. Unfortunately, an approaching fish is less varied making it less attractive to be enjoyed.
Motorboats can not be docked directly to the location of Turtle Island because of silting. Visitors must go down the watery coast down his own ankle to below the knees of adults. If the fear of stumbling feet, or other rocks, can rent shoes offered by several citizens there.
On Turtle Island there are hundreds of turtles of various sizes and ages. For turtles that are in the cage is the main sea turtle whose numbers approximately 50 individuals. Large size could reach the age of 35 years. Visitors can hold and lifted the turtle parent to take a picture together. For each day the parent turtles were fed seaweed. When the sea water can freely connect them to the beach, but do not get out to sea, because it has been fenced off with bamboo. They will return to the cage after the tide is low. If there is no return, workers will move it by hand.
Leatherback turtles are not traded in captivity, let alone cut to consume, because the captive itself solely to marine conservation efforts that are feared to be extinct. Animals have been deliberately allowed to breed naturally. After laying eggs, and his children were strong swim in the sea, the young turtles were released, while the parent is not.
Not only are turtles that can be found on the island. Snakes, monkeys, birds and other domesticated animals can be found there.
