I was there in 1991 and there was only one place to stay, the Mainski Inn. Just went back and to be honest you may as well stay in Bali. The joints cooked.
Thank you! We've visited all 3 Gilis, Lombok, Amed, Lovina, Ubud, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua. All recorded and waiting to be edited/published. We skipped Komodo as its between 12-15 juta so too much for 2 hours of watching dragons in the park. Sorry. Also the rumours of the dragons being drugged are not promising. We are exploring Jakarta now and in the future plan on doing a multi-day trek through the jungle to see Orangutans in the wild. Then perhaps a Phinisi trip in Aceh!
Thank you very much. :) it's been an amazing 5 months. We are heading back to Europe to sit down and edit nearly 20 videos we recorded during our stay in the amazing Indonesia.
great video guys i’ve just got back from Lembongan you guys did some things i didn’t however i will say you guys did miss a hell of a lot of the better parts of the island
Agreed! When it was filmed, there was a huge rainstorm overnight and parts of the island (and Ceningan) were inaccessible as some roads even got destroyed along with hotels. That's why we cut that trip short and even mentioned this in the video. I'd love to go back and redo, especially now that we're out of the covid situation and lots more businesses are openned up 🙏
Thanks Andi! The videos are delayed by a few weeks as we were touring intensely and recording. Gilis were amazing. We also went to Amed and Lovina, Lombok and spent a few weeks in Uluwatu. There are 14 videos waiting to be edited so expect the next one in approx 2 weeks.
If you like beaches you should go to Labuan Bajo..The beaches in Komodo National Park is amazing. Actually there are many beautiful beaches in eastern part of Indonesia than in Bali. Labuan Bajo (KNP), Raaj Ampat, Banda Neira, Kei Island, Lombok, Manado etc has the best beaches and marine life in Indonesia. The problem is too far, remote and expensive to travel, even for us Indonesian.
Greetings from Viet Nam. I knew your channel after watching "Dương Địa Lý" video. BTW, nice video you had and keep improving it. Hope you will had more interesting video about traveling.
Thank you. We will continue improving! More videos coming soon. Working on a big one now and need a few more days. Can't wait to visit Viet Nam in September!
As it was at the end of the pandemic some things were still shut but now I'd imagine it's all in full swing. Yes you could easily swim if the water was calm.
Yes. We did however need to be considerate of the fact of being there at the end of the closures so the restaurant was closed (also no breakfast) and services were minimal. Also the beachside area was affected by heavy storms but they've been working on fixing those. The swimming pool albeit cozy, was nice and the view of Bali was amazing.
@@SuperRabbit36 Don't worry about the weather forecast too much :) In rainy season it rains for a couple of hours and moments later it's dry from the heat :) UK!
Too expensive for what it is. Sorry. 12-15 juta to eventually spend 2 hours on the island with drugged lizards and all hotels in the area with horrible reviews (and bed bugs). No. This needs to be fixed.
Hi mike and eve thank you for visit to our place "Nick's Place Lembongan" . Your viewer show me your vidio and it's amazing!! I hope you have many viewer and subscrabe also many people know how beautiful lembongan island ❤👍
@@MikeAndFriends oww if you still in bali check warung "teh manis" The owner is indonesian legendary actress her named Tamara Blezinsky she is mix poland indonesia, the price start 15 K and a great food of indonesia
Nice story - heading there on Thursday. My laptop crapped out on the way back to Bali and it should be back in my hands tomorrow. Like you we have about 8 videos on the laptop that have to be uploaded and about 6 that have to be edited. We’re also 2 weeks ahead of releases. Gonna give you the subscribe to help you get to the magic 1k 😃
Thanks guys :) oh we are months behind on editing :) still fighting to try to find the balance between exploring/living the life of travel and slumping away for days editing a video :) Bali compendium coming out soon - it'll be 50 minutes long and the longest project we've done. Can't wait to get it out and move to regular vlogs :) Thanks for the sub and congrats on your 1k not long ago! :)
@Mikeandeve: He’s asking you as his Uncle to make a subtitle availability for him so he can understand what you’re saying. Some people learn English like these - watching videos these days
@@MikeAndFriends Yes true, learning a language is very hard takes dedication, time and passion for sure. But, I believe YT has a way to put subtitle, not sure how though - not quite techie. It’s your choice at end of the day though. I still can’t speak Balinese as I believe they have their own dialect & my formal Indonesian are quite rusty too.
That Nicks Husky haha…stray dog.. 🤦♂️…your not going to find a stray husky in Bali and you will find all dogs on Lembongan and Ceningan do have owners they just roam the islands. You guys should return there when your not so Green to Bali and notice the difference. Also not really any crime on the island as it run by the local Mafia their is no Police on the island.
Yes we are very green! This is our first time in Asia. We're learning a lot and are keeping a very open mind (which is frequently blown) to everything. We always welcome comments like yours. Thanks for taking the time to share :) Luckily I didn't say it was a stray dog, only wondered if it is one or not. 🤠🙏
Nusa lembongan use to be Amazing. Two days a week you could catch an outrigger ferry over to the island. It was jungle with only a couple of huts run by locals. Large seaweed farm's out front. No real roads or transportation. Would stay for months and surf out front. That was 30+ years ago. The island is now covered in hotels. The boardwalk you guys sat at in front of playgrounds has hotels that pump sewage out front. The water can stink. The whole island is covered in plastic. I hope with the lack of tourists they have been trying to clean the island but I doubt it. Its changed so much over the years. Beware the money machines on the island. They use skimmers to access people's accounts and will clean your bank accounts out.
Thanks for all the valid points. I hear nowadays one must go further ease past Nusa Tenggara to find what Lembongan used to be. Sugaiwatch is a local org that is doing a lot of cleanups and uses great equipment to clean tens of tonnes of trash. Sadly the sea is full of it :( We use revolut for payments to protect from skimming. The app has notifications every time money is spent on the card so could react in seconds.
It is now an amazing island with more more tourist come and amaze with their experience in there What you said about sucking money in bank account What is that? I wish my Indonesian people read what you write Negative comment you said

@@rickyighes165 Terima kasih ibu Ricky. Sama untuk Anda dan keluarga.
That little detail about leaving the key in the motorbike was very meaningful for me. All of the video was great!
Thanks Erik 🤗
the best weather in Bali is from June till October, when we get the cold winds blowing from winter months in Australia
Thank you Matt!
Last part of the video is really amazing, the mangroves were breathtaking.
Thanks :) yeah it was. Even though it was low tide. If it was high tide we might be able to snorkel and see some fish there.
Mike and Eve, thank you for another nice video.😍
Thanks for watching :) means a lot to us
wow amazing Bali. thx for your epic video
Thanks! It's easy to make videos in epic places 😉👍
I was there in 1991 and there was only one place to stay, the Mainski Inn. Just went back and to be honest you may as well stay in Bali. The joints cooked.
So COOL!!
Thanks. Yeah it's an incredible place. 🤠👍
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks a lot :) loved the place.
Across bali you should go to gili island then to lombok island for a week then to komodo island
Thank you! We've visited all 3 Gilis, Lombok, Amed, Lovina, Ubud, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua. All recorded and waiting to be edited/published.
We skipped Komodo as its between 12-15 juta so too much for 2 hours of watching dragons in the park. Sorry. Also the rumours of the dragons being drugged are not promising.
We are exploring Jakarta now and in the future plan on doing a multi-day trek through the jungle to see Orangutans in the wild. Then perhaps a Phinisi trip in Aceh!
Dream beach ❤️👌
West Bali is beautiful as well .. Menjangan island is near Java that rarely people visit
Wow. Looks like an amazing place to go diving! Thanks for the tip.
@@MikeAndFriends yeaahh.. Nothing better than visiting whole island with scooter 🤣
U have a beautiful speaking voice I felt like I was watching a documentary great job 👏
Wow. Thank you very much. This is something I consider lacking so to hear this is a great boost of confidence. 😊🙏
@@MikeAndFriends 👍❤️
Thank you for the video guys! My wife and I from Australia, are booked to be there in October.
Enjoy your trip guys! Soon we'll be releasing an hour long Bali Compendium which you might find useful ;-)
I was in Nusa Penida for a day trip few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. I got to do snorkelling, which was the highlight of my trip!!
That's awesome. Nusa Penida is amazing.
Did you manage to walk down the stairs to the beach and back up 😭😭🤣
Welcome to our country Indonesia, enjoy your Vacation, nice video awesome😊👍
Thank you very much. :) it's been an amazing 5 months. We are heading back to Europe to sit down and edit nearly 20 videos we recorded during our stay in the amazing Indonesia.
I like your video. your video editing, angle, camera work; they're awesome. It looks cinematic: vlog but it's like a movie and it's natural.
Thank you Andreas. This means a lot to me. A lot of work goes into these vlogs.
Welcome to Bali is the best weather is Bali
Winter time isn't too bad either :) Best sunsets in rainy season :)

I wanted to. Fly my drone around that platform and i forgot …. Oh well on my next trip great video
Great video
Thank you!
Great video! I’m heading to Bali in a couple months and this was great!!
We are working on a massive compendium on spending time in Bali! Stay tuned, video coming in a few days :)
Very nice :)
We do what we can 😁👍
guys you should go to Gili Islands.It's better than Lembongan.
Thanks Andi! The videos are delayed by a few weeks as we were touring intensely and recording. Gilis were amazing. We also went to Amed and Lovina, Lombok and spent a few weeks in Uluwatu. There are 14 videos waiting to be edited so expect the next one in approx 2 weeks.
I was just in Lembongan… it has some nice areas.. overall the poverty was sadly everywhere and I felt guilty. Not sure I’d go back
Your amazing guys... I subscribe now
Thanks very much 🤠🙏
It’s getting hot now in Bali
yeah, bounced back

Thank you Andi. We considered that but the total cost came to 12-14 juta so we decided to leave it until the future when we heave a steady income :)
@@MikeAndFriends Agree visit outer islands! Sulawesi will blow your mind!

What was your accommodation like, would you recommend it? Is the beach infront of your hotel good for swimming?
As it was at the end of the pandemic some things were still shut but now I'd imagine it's all in full swing.
Yes you could easily swim if the water was calm.
Amazing :)
Thanks Antek 🤠👍
With things just only opening up . Is 2 days good enough?
I'd give it 3 to also see Ceningan but depends on your speed of moving around. Maybe 2 full days there and leave on the third.
Did you enjoy your stay at Pemedal Beach Resort.?
Yes. We did however need to be considerate of the fact of being there at the end of the closures so the restaurant was closed (also no breakfast) and services were minimal. Also the beachside area was affected by heavy storms but they've been working on fixing those.
The swimming pool albeit cozy, was nice and the view of Bali was amazing.
Great video! I'm confused as to why this video only has 2k views. You guys deserve more.
Thank you Izak. Maybe because it's fresh off the oven :)
@@MikeAndFriendswhere are you guys from? I'm thinking of going on a day trip from Bali to Lembongon in January obviously depends on the weather.
What month did you visit Lembongon

Hi from Bali 👋😊
14:26 sir, what is the name of that chest strap? for action camera. thankss
That's the standard head strap stretched to its limits :) I recommend getting a real chest strap.
@@MikeAndFriends oooh ok.. thanks
You should try indonesian food sometimes to complete the journey
Thanks for the tip Octavia. We went to a cooking class in Ubud :)
@@MikeAndFriends that's nice. Cant wait for the next video of yours
Visit Komodo Island
Too expensive for what it is. Sorry. 12-15 juta to eventually spend 2 hours on the island with drugged lizards and all hotels in the area with horrible reviews (and bed bugs). No. This needs to be fixed.
@@MikeAndFriends agreed
Hi mike and eve thank you for visit to our place "Nick's Place Lembongan" . Your viewer show me your vidio and it's amazing!! I hope you have many viewer and subscrabe also many people know how beautiful lembongan island ❤👍
Thank you for having us. We enjoyed our stay on the island and your delicious food and drinks :)
So many complaints you said when others had great experience in there
Maybe it was you guys missed something etc to had journey in there
Complaints where? We made some observations but bear in mind this was end of covid and most things were closed/non existent.

Sending back hugs from Bali :)
Is it worthy to visit nusa lembongan with a 7 year old kid.. whats the best place to stay? 2 nights or 1 night ?
If they're comfortable with you on a scooter then why not. 2 - 3 days because you'll likely want to go to Nusa Ceningan as well.
Thanks Mike !!
