Travel and Leisure Worlds Best Awards for number 1 tour operator in the world 2024 and number 2 tour operator in the world 2025
We're one of the World's Best Tour Operators!
Named three years running in Travel+Leisure World's Best, including No.1 in 2024
Superlative snorkelling, diving, and exquisite hotels, far, far away from the tourist track.

Part of the greater West Bali National Park, Menjangan is a white-sand idyll just off the northern coast of the island, named after the local deer (menjangan) who swim across the mellow waters from the Prapat Agung Peninsula every spring. The island is renowned for its dramatic diving and snorkelling opportunities and the waters are clear, calm, and filled with exotic coral gardens, their fringes filled with fish not found anywhere else in the world. There are no residents on the island itself – aside from 16 Hindu monks that live in three temples – and most visitors stay in Pemuteran, the gateway to the island on the mainland. It’s a quiet bay of black sand beaches backed by towering escarpments and craggy mountains and incredibly close to Java, which can be seen in some of the unique architecture.

Things to do

What to do in Pemuteran

Snorkel or dive in crystal-clear waters at the famed Pemuteran Coral Restoration Project, one of the world’s largest coral reef rehabilitation sites, or head out to Menjangan Island for its vibrant marine life. On land, the national park offers jungle treks, birdwatching, and the chance to spot the endangered Bali Starling. For a more serene experience, kayak through mangroves or relax on Pemuteran’s black sand beaches, where the sunsets are nothing short of magical.

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Explore the anchor wreck, an old wooden ship wreck though to have sunk during WWII. With a cargo of ceramics and glass bottles, it’s fascinating to dive to – and you may even spot a turtle or two.

An Incredible Safari Experience Thanks to Timbuktu Travel

An Incredible Safari Experience Thanks to Timbuktu Travel
October 2026
11 nights in Kenya and Tanzania
We recently returned from an incredible safari through Kenya and Tanzania, and we couldn't be happier with our experience working with Timbuktu Travel. Joanna and her team were wonderful from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted from our safari and designed an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. They helped us prepare for every aspect of the trip, answered our questions along the way, and made sure everything ran seamlessly once we arrived in Africa. From the accommodations and guides to the transfers and overall coordination, everything was exceptionally well organized. We were also celebrating a milestone anniversary, and Joanna and her team went above and beyond to make it special. They arranged anniversary surprises at every stop, including cakes, traditional celebration songs, and even a private dinner. These thoughtful touches made an already amazing trip even more memorable. We also want to recognize Joachim, our private guide for the final four days of our safari. He was friendly, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He made the final part of our journey particularly enjoyable. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We saw incredible wildlife, stayed at wonderful camps, and never had to worry about the logistics. Timbuktu took care of everything, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure. We can't thank Joanna, Joachim, and the entire Timbuktu team enough for creating such an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Timbuktu Travel to anyone planning an African safari.
