Sri Noa Noa
This trip takes you to following islands and breaks east of Bali including:
Nusa Lembongan: Shipwrecks, Lacerations and Playgrounds
Lombok: Desert Point and all breaks along the south coast
West Sumbawa: Scar Reef, Super Suck, Yo-Yo's plus others.
Such range of waves caters for surfers or all abilities and unlike the local Indonesian charter boats, Sri Noa Noa takes the south coast of Lombok giving you access to breaks like Belongas, Maui and Ekas pretty much guaranteeing you some empty or uncrowded sessions. Your captain has extensive experience in the area and will get you to the best waves on the given conditions.
