West Bali National Park

West Bali National Park is a protected area on the northwest tip of Bali that conserves a mix of coastal, marine and dry-forest habitats. The park includes both mainland conservation zones and small offshore islets within its management area.

Visitors to the park commonly combine reef snorkeling around offshore islets with guided walks on mainland trails to view native flora and fauna. Menjangan Island, within the park, is a noted snorkeling and diving site because of its reefs and clear water.

The park was established to protect Bali’s remaining dry-forest ecosystems and associated wildlife and to conserve coastal and marine habitats. Management focuses on habitat protection, visitor access control and community engagement in conservation.

West Bali National Park occupies the far northwest of Bali and is accessible from the nearest towns on the island’s western coast; the park is reached by road and by boat trips to offshore islets.

• Habitat mix: The park combines terrestrial and marine protection, offering reef snorkeling, forest trails and wildlife viewing across island and mainland sectors.
