Many snorkelers head to Labuan Lalang, the access port for Menjangan, and club together with other tourists to hire a boat. As the island comes under the jurisdiction of the national park, hiring a guide is essential, but both the guide and boat transport can be arranged at the jetty in Labuan Lalang without first checking in at the Cekik headquarters. To reach Menjangan island it takes 30-40 min by boat.
Permits and Guides
Permits and obligatory guides are available at the PHPA office in Labuhan Lalang. The Marine reserve includes the cape shores and several sanctuary islands, a haunt for seabirds, on the island of Menjangan and the excellent coral reefs surrounding it. The good drop-offs on Menjangan’s south side are only surpassed by the particularly superb reefs on its northern shores. There are no dangerous currents to contend with in this area.
The sea biota inhabiting the waters around Menjangan Island and Tanjung Gelap comprise some 45 species of coral; 32 species of fish including Pinnate Batfish, Rabbitfish and Barracuda; and nine species of sea mollusc.
