New to forum, wondering if someone could help with advice re the best place for a snorkeling trip in early November. Had planned on Amed, but have been told today that the east coast waters can get very murky in the rainy season due to run off from the hills. would it be better to go to the north west to Pemutaran, or around Menjangan Island? we have 4 weeks, so can go to Lombok and Gilli's later, but our friends only have 7 days, so hope to leave our stuff at Hotel in Legian and head off for 2-3 days. We had hoped to do motorbike around volcano coast road to Amed, as we heard it is much improved since we did it last time, but would have to hire a driver for the Northwest as it is much further. Would this be possible?How would we get back? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks and love the forum. So much info.
