Just off the northwest coast of Bali lies the tiny island Pulau Menjangan, surrounded by hectares of exellent coral reef. The island, a favorite destination for both snorkelers and divers, is situated in the protected marine reserve of the Bali Barat National Park and has a very diverse eco biology.

Apart from a high diversity of coral species and colorful, tropical fish there are many kinds of sea- and shorebirds frequenting the island. Also the Hawkesbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is sighted frequently in the area.

Menjangan is often referred to as Deer Island as it is the habitat of the Barking Deer or Muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak). Visitors can regularly spot these deer at the secluded, sandy beaches of the island.
