Bali - Benoa harbor

Benoa is more than just seeing a harbor or the cruise terminal, it is a tourist attraction.

Established in 1924, Benoa harbor was designated for three purposes — fisheries, water sports and inter-island transportation for freight and passengers.

Its remote location makes it quite difficult to reach the harbor from downtown Denpasar. If you do not have car, you have to walk at least 1.5 kilometers from the Trans Sarbagita bus stop at Pesanggaran in South Denpasar. The other option is to take a feeder public transportation vehicle, locally known as a bemo or motor, the ojek. Entry to Benoa harbor is Rp 1,500 per motorcycle or Rp 2,500 for cars.

Numerous luxury liners drop by the harbor bringing foreign visitors to Bali. The famous Rainbow Warrior owned by global environmental group Greenpeace has also berthed here. Not to mention the many warships belonging to the US, Australia and India that have made courtesy visits. On the west side of the harbor, dozens of colorful fishing boats delight the eyes of the visitors. Their beautiful shapes and multicolored hulls and flags make it the harbor’s most interesting scene. Hundreds of local fishermen are busy with their own activities from dawn to dusk.

Fishing is one of Bali’s most productive economic wheels. The island’s fish exports help local fishermen earn a living for their families. For those who want to take an adventurous trip around Benoa waters, a rental boat is ready to take you out to sea at the rate of Rp 50,000 per hour. By taking this rental boat, visitors will be able to view the huge cruise ships up close and if lucky enough, they can get on board.
