I was just reading yesterday a travel report I found on google from an american couple who were in NL on Nyepi & her photos & descriptions made me want to be there...or anywhere in Bali on Nyepi. the ceremonies looked amazing & maybe as she was on a smaller island she was able to experience and come across a lot of of the preparations for the day & the parade with ogah ogahs etc. she was still able to swim in her hotel pool. not sure if this is the same ceremonial day as you are referring to but is worth checking google for her blog anyway.

We were on Lembongan for Nypei Laut Day last year. We went over to Dream Beach and had a lovely lunch and spent the afternoon by our pool. Very relaxing.

Yes, there are ceremonys and also cock fighting on Ceningan Island that you can go and check out.

willswish, Nyepi and Nyepi Laut are different days. If you are talking about Ogah oghas, then it was Nyepi.

Everyone is correct when they say being on Lembongan on Nyepi Laut is worth it. You can do everything except swim in the ocean or boats on the water. There are wonderful sights to be taken in by scooter and great restaurants and swimming pools.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT NYEPI LAUT THIS YEAR 2013 IS 20th OCT (NOT 19th), check Rocky Fast Ferries Website. Some of the hotels had the wrong date on their sites.

Enjoy the day, we'll be there!

I am totally confused now. I changed my travel arrangements to work around Nyepi Laut on 19th & supposed to be travelling from Nusa Lembongan to Gili Trawangan on 20th, now you're saying its on the 20th.... Feel like cancelling the whole time on the islands as it is getting WAY TOO STRESSFUL :(

Please don't stress!!! And don't cancel your time on the island, it's beautiful and well worth staying!

I dint want to but now in the process of contacting the tour com

Take 2 - I don't want to cancel but in the process of contacting the tour company that we have booked through. They are based in Bali and advertised through Bay Shore Huts Nusa Lembongan so surely they know which day Nyepi Laut is on.

I have already changed my booking once by adding an extra day which cost me extra money, so what do I do now.

I'm 4 weeks out of arriving in Bali and STILL don't have our Island visit sorted out :(
