Most of the best things to do in Tulamben are closely related to the ocean and beach. Right off the coast of this fishing village in East Bali, divers and snorkelers can explore a World War II shipwreck that’s home to beautiful coral and exotic fish. Many dive centres organise trips to this diving haven, as well as the neighbouring Banyuning, which has a Japanese shipwreck that's now a thriving habitat of tropical fish, napoleon wrasses, and reef sharks.
Over the years, many sculptures have been deliberately sunk to aid coral growth in Bali. These underwater gardens are popular for underwater photography as you’ll get to capture some worthwhile shots of rare marine life. There are also plenty of things to see above the waves of Tulamben, including the pebbly black-sand beach of Tulamben and a large hilltop complex with treehouses and a Borobudur-like structure.

Læs mereAs Tulamben’s main dive site, the USAT Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben has drawn divers from the world over to this quiet coastal village in East Bali. Join a diving trip to visit the spectacular remains of a military cargo ship originally built in World War I, but which was torpedoed by the Japanese during World War II.
Snorkelling over the 120-metre-long wreck is possible as the highest point of the stern is about 4 metres below the surface. Among the corals, you can expect regular sightings of parrotfish, cod and even occasional sea turtles.

Læs mereTulamben Beach is a popular take-off point for divers and snorkelers heading to the various dive sites in the area. This palm tree-lined beach is made up of smooth pebbles and rocky volcanic boulders – a contrast to the soft, sandy, white beaches along Bali’s southwestern coastline. As most of the action is underwater, the beach itself has a quiet, laidback vibe that’s suitable for relaxing and sunset viewing.
