We have planned a fantastic land and ocean exploration trip to Bali. This is the pre-liveaboard extension, but can also be booked separately. Bali itself is absolutely worth a trip, so we decided – when in Indonesia, why not combine Bali and Komodo?!

Where are we going?
Bali with it’s pristine nature and scuba diving opportunities is a perfect steppingstone to get into Indonesia. Bali has an international airport with great connections to all major airports.

When are we going?
August 19th to 23rd of 2027.

Terminal Resort Tulamben & Spa is a beachfront diving resort with sweeping views of the beautiful Bali Sea. All rooms provide an ocean view.

The diving
Unlike the most resorts in Bali, the Tauch Terminal Resort Tulamben has to offer eight outstanding dive sites directly in front of the adjacent beach.
In close proximity of our resort are actually up to 21 beautiful dive sites accessible by drop off directly from the beach or a short boat or car drive along the coast.
The Tualamben Wallstarts at a depth of 1 m to then drop straight to 40 m. Besides amazing coral growth this reef also features an unbelievable landscape sculpted by many overhanging rocks. The presence of smaller reef fish is abundant, with angel fish being the species worth mentioning. Besides emperor angel fish, yellow-faced angelfish and blue-banded angel fish can be found with the duke fish rounding out the selection as a member of the angel fish family. Quite often, huge schools of jack fish pass the wall, darkening the sun.
