Bali is a popular tourist destination within Indonesia but has a surprisingly high diversity of herpetofauna in hidden pockets within the island. Our Bali tours are packed with day time trekking, night time spotlighting, diving (optional) and snorkelling, birdwatching and caving.

Bali is a humid tropical island at the easternmost end of the Greater Sundas Islands group of Indonesia within the Indian Ocean. It is 5,577km2 in size and located between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Several volcanic mountain peaks more than 2,000m high lie from the centre to the eastern side across Bali. Three small islands, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, two much smaller satellite islands (Pulau Serangan and Pulau Menjangan) and several tiny islets are located closer to Bali.

Recent surveys conducted by Aaranya members and collaborators recorded 15 species of amphibians, 10 species of turtles, 25 species of lizards, 1 species of crocodile and 43 species of non-hydrophiine snakes.
