From the Mia Villa private villa resort, it is a two hour trip to reach Blue Lagoon on Padang Bai. You can always ask the friendly team at the concierge service to arrange a trip for you and your family, or to direct you towards the most comfortable and advantageous solution on how you should get there on your own. You can head off to the boat with a rented car, driven by a professional chauffeur, or you can also certainly arrange to go on your own by driving the car yourself. Once you reach Padang Bai, you just have to follow the signs on your way towards the eastern part, and you should reach the lagoon quickly and easily by foot.
Blue Lagoon Beach – numer one activity
Padang Bai’s Blue Lagoon is a world famous spot for snorkeling. The animated coral reefs stretch up to the shore, so there are plenty of amazing things to see just as soon as you look underwater. Snorkeling is usually a much loved activity for the entire family, because with just a little guidance, children can enjoy the amazing underwater life as well.
Scuba Diving in Blue Lagoon
There are several diving sites in Padang Bai, but Blue Lagoon is by far the best place to admire the diverse underwater life. Here you can admire the wide stretch of Staghorn corals, and the amazingly diverse fish life. Here you can also catch a glimpse of the huge humphead wrasse, which also goes by the name Napoleon wrasse. It is around 1.5 to 2 meters long, and its huge lips make this fish look quite funny. It is definitely a wonderful adventure to swim along the immense humphead wrasse at the Blue Lagoon.
Some other interesting fish species you can see here are the stargazers, the colorful scorpionfish, the rays and the blue ribbon eel which is categorized as being a very elegant fish due to its soft waving movements and its thin and elongated body shape. There is a true colorful aquarium that you can admire here at the Blue Lagoon.
You will notice many photographers as well, who have come for the amazing sights that this place offers. If you want to be part of a truly amazing experience, then you should book your trip so that you can stay for the night, and try out an organized scuba diving trip at night. It is an experience you will never forget!
