Gili Mimpang is a good place to spot reef sharks but if you want to enjoy the company of large schools of brilliant-blue yellowtail fusiliers Gili Biaha is the place.
The small island, part of Bali West National Park, is surrounded by coral formations that are home to unique creatures such as turtles, moray eels, snappers and batfishes. Some of them are close enough to the shore and can be observed whilst snorkeling, while divers could dive deeper to offshore seabeds for a breathtaking vista of large sponges and enormous sea fans.
