Rock Pooling

Add to wishlist

Join the local villagers as they forage the ocean floor.

The low tides around the new and full moons pull the ocean back enough to expose the entire reef along the beach, creating the perfect setting for ocean foraging. As the waters recede, countless tiny pools are revealed, each teeming with a fascinating variety of marine life in Indonesia, from little fishes to seaweed and other coastal treasures waiting to be discovered.

Two guests enjoying a swim in a tidal rock pool at Nihiwatu Beach, with the lush tropical forest in the background and the expansive beach just beyond, surrounded by natural coral formations.

Overview

Join the local villagers in front of the boathouse as they forage the ocean floor in search of seaweed, starfish, sea urchins, crabs, fish and octopus to use in their traditional cooking.

Walk along the 2,5km and at the end, by the Cleopatra Rock, refresh with a swim in one of tidal rock pools.

Please Note: We ask that our guests take special care not to step on any live coral in the tidal pools or to remove any shells. We love our ocean and respect its ecology.
