"Making up part of the West Bali National Park, Menjangan Island is a tiny, less-trodden gem eight miles off the northwestern coast of Bali. Nicknamed “Deer Island” for the numerous Javan rusa deer ambling about, it’s uncrowded and largely uninhabited, and its fringing coral reefs make it among the best diving and snorkeling spots in Greater Bali. What you'll like best on the island depends on whether you prefer your sightseeing above ground or below the water. On land, wild but approachable deer sashay around the island and take chest-high dips in the beach water. Plan to make a whole day of it. There are several tour packages for Menjangan Island, including a few 12-hour ones that offer convenient door-to-door transfers, and they tend to cover the park permit and guide. The commitment required is best justified for travelers willing to don snorkel gear or a scuba tank." - Julia Eskins
