The small fishing village of Pemuteran is located on the north shore of the western part of Bali. This quiet haven far from civilization has become increasingly popular in recent years. On the shore, resort hotels open, the beach is covered with dark fine sand, and the proximity of Pemuteran to Lovina and the national park of West Bali, combined with the amazing beauty of the surrounding nature, makes this destination a welcome destination for many.
Pemuteran is one of the best dive sites in Bali snorkeling. The world's largest project to create an artificial coral reef "Bio-Rock" is launched here. On the reef, you can spend the whole day with a mask and fins. There are about 10 diving centers in the village and its environs, including a branch of the Bali Diving Academy, where they conduct all kinds of PADI courses in several languages.
A couple of kilometers to the east of Pemuteran is the Monkey Temple. The locals feed the monkeys with fruit, and here you can take lots of funny pictures, especially on the background of the ocean and the beach. Just do not put the bag on the ground and do not leave the windows open in the car. And in the area of Pulaki village, east of Pemuteran, vineyards grow: it is the center of the developing wine industry in Bali
Almost in any hotel can organize early morning boat trips to look at dolphins . In addition, from Pemuteran it is easy get to the island of Men'yanggan (the boat departs from Labukhan-Lalang, which is 15 minutes from Pemuteran) . There you can spend a lot of time with a mask or do diving . And the more enthusiastic can go to the national park; a visit permit can be purchased at the office behind the car park of Laboukhan-Lalang . Here you can also find a guide and arrange with other travelers: it is common practice to collect a group here to hire a boat in a warehouse .
About 53 km from Singaraya, in the village of Bayupo, the Hindu temple of Pura-Pulaki, one of the largest on the island, is located. It stands at the foot of the hill, about 25 meters from the sea and a beautiful northern beach with black sand and calm water. The temple is inhabited by monkeys, who are considered the incarnations of deities. You will not miss the ramp to the temple from the main road between Singapore and Gilimanuk thanks to the monkey company almost always sitting there.
How to get to Pemuteran
The usual way to get to Pemuteran is from Lovina and Singarraya or from the west, from Gilimanuka. Incredibly old rattling buses cruise along the northern coast, but they drag themselves slowly and can be monstrously crowded. Buses can be caught right on the main road. In Lovina, it's not a problem to catch a car to get here (first, discuss the price and do not forget to include the cost of gasoline). From tourist centers in the south to Pemuteran drive about four hours depending on traffic.
