west trip nusa penida

Discover the beauty of West Nusa Penida , where dramatic coastal cliffs, pristine beaches, and rich marine life are waiting to be discovered.

After traveling in Bali for 14 years and even living on the island, I’ve been to Nusa Penida countless times. You can easily visit on a day trip from Bali, however, I highly recommend you spend at least two full days here.

Nusa Penida is larger than it looks, so to avoid rushing, set aside one day for the west side and one day for the east. If you’re limited on time, this is the perfect 1-day itinerary to cover all the highlights of West Nusa Penida where the boats from Bali arrive.

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three Nusa Islands, set just 25 kilometers off the coast of southern Bali . Nusa Ceningan is the smallest, and my favorite is the middle one called Nusa Lembongan .

To give you an idea of the size of Nusa Penida, you could drive to the eight most popular attractions without stopping, in just under 5 hours. Or you could walk from Crystal Bay to Broken Beach in about 4 hours, a distance that looks very short on the map.

And that’s why I recommend you divide the island in two and focus on the west side during your first day. If you choose to do east and west in one day, you will spend most of your time in the car.

How to get to Nusa Penida

There’s no airport in Nusa Penida, so the closest place to fly into is the international airport in Bali. The best way to get to Nusa Penida is by taking a fast boat from Sanur Habor in Bali. The boat ride usually takes around 40 minutes, and several operators are offering daily schedules.

Keep in mind that it can be a bit difficult to get on board the boats in Indonesia, often without a ramp. So I can’t recommend this for people with mobility issues.

🌟 You can check price & availability here >> Fast boat from Bali to Nusa Penida

The best way to get around Nusa Penida largely depends on personal preference and comfort level. Renting a scooter, or motorbike as the locals call them, is a popular option for those who are comfortable navigating bumpy dirt roads and want the freedom to explore the island at their own pace.

I love to ride a motorbike on Nusa Lembongan , however, driving in Nusa Penida was a whole other story. The island is much larger than I thought, let’s just say I have never gotten lost so many times as I did in Nusa Penida. At one point Google Maps guided me into a village meeting where I was quickly and sternly asked to leave. Yikes!

I find that the easiest way is to ask your accommodation to pick you up from the harbor and arrange a scooter for you. Alternatively, you can just rent one directly at the harbor. It usually costs around 75,000 IDR a day, but you can often get a better deal if you rent for longer.

Remember that you need an international driver’s license when driving in Indonesia, and make sure your travel insurance covers you.

With a private driver

On the other hand, if you’re not comfortable riding a motorbike or want a more comfortable and convenient option, I recommend renting a car with a driver.

When I don’t feel like driving by myself, I usually book this customizable tour . You have the driver for 8 hours and can set your own itinerary or follow the suggested itinerary that covers all the highlights in West Bali, such as Kelingking Beach, Broken Bay, and Angel’s Billabong.

Remember to pick option 2 if you’re already in Nusa Penida and option 3 if you’re doing a day trip from Bali.

West Nusa Penida 1-day itinerary

This itinerary covers all the highlights on the west side of the island. I recommend starting with the viewpoints and photo spots, then ending your day in Crystal Bay where you can snorkel and lounge on the beach before having dinner at sunset.

West Nusa Penida travel guid, view of Kelingking Beach

Kelingking Beach is the most popular attraction in Nusa Penida, due to the cliff resembling a T-Rex dinosaur with a foaming mouth. The beach itself is nestled at the bottom of the steep cliff, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the turquoise waters and pristine white sand below.

Due to its popularity, I recommend Kelingking as your first stop on your West Coast itinerary. If you get there for sunrise or about an hour before sunset, you can take photos without having to stand in line.

Make sure you check the weather forecast before you go, to get the full experience you should aim for a clear or lightly clouded day.

west trip nusa penida

In addition to enjoying the view from above, you can also hike down to the beach. Half the path is fairly easy, however, once you start descending the cliff wall it gets very steep and slippery in some places.

It took me around 45 minutes each way , with just a few stops to catch my breath. If you’re not in the best shape or have some kind of heart issues, please don’t attempt the hike. It gets insanely hot during the day and I found it to be more strenuous than I first thought.

west trip nusa penida

The beach is really beautiful, and it’s a magical feeling to stand down there surrounded by these towering cliffs and powerful waves tumbling towards you.

But Kelingking Beach is not swimmable. Both the waves and currents here are much stronger than they look, and you can easily be swept out to sea. If that happens, it will take a while before someone comes after you.

People have drowned, fallen from the cliff and died from heart complications after the hike. I think I read somewhere that more tourists die in Nusa Penida than any other place in Bali. So be careful!

west trip nusa penida

Everyone wants to see Kelingking, which I totally get. But there’s another spot located very close that offers equally amazing views, called Paluang Cliff . It’s just a 5-minute drive from Kelingking, you can see the T-Rex in the background there.

Paluang is not as popular as Kelingking, which makes it a great alternative. Lately, these Instagram photo spots have been popping up all over Nusa Penida, just like in Bali. And you’ll find many of them here, such as the boat thing above, a nest, a white hand, and a swing.

Since I haven’t shot any photos here yet, I had to source a stock photo that you can see above. I recommend you skip these photo spots and rather just focus on the beautiful view. We don’t want to see any more of these things ruin the natural landscape.

Blue stairs, small waterfalls and temple at the bottom of a cliff by the ocean at Peguyangan Waterfall in West Nusa Penida.

Peguyangan Waterfall , also known as Guyangan, is the southernmost attraction on this list, located about an hour’s drive from Crystal Bay. The name is a little misleading because you won’t find a large “traditional” waterfall here, but rather a few streams coming from pipes.

The main reason for visiting Peguyangan is in my eyes the spectacular views from the blue stairs built onto the steep cliff wall. It is especially beautiful right before sunset, as you will have the sun behind you. Perfect for a photoshoot.

At the bottom of the 700+ steps, you’ll find the reason why the stairs were in the first place, a temple, shrines and rock pools. Make sure to walk all the way past the highest temple, down the stairs with the flowing water and along the edge of the cliff to a turquoise infinity pool where you can enjoy a refreshing dip. Just please be careful, it is slippery!

View of Broken Bean on Nusa Penida, a rock arch with greenery on top and blue water underneath. Girl in a red dress walking on top, on a day trip to Nusa Penida during her two week Bali itinerary.

Next on this West Nusa Penida itinerary are Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong , located within a couple of minutes of each other. Broken Beach, known locally as Pasih Uug, is a circular cove of turquoise water where I’m guessing the roof caved in.

The name “Broken Beach” is derived from the natural arched bridge that allows the ocean water to flow in and out of the enclosed pool. Access to Broken Beach involves a short walk from the parking area and you can walk all around the cove. Just please don’t get too close to the edge.

west trip nusa penida

Broken Beach is mainly a photo spot and you can not access the beach or enter the water here. The waves are rough and the drop down from the top is higher than it looks. So just enjoy the beauty of the area, get your photos and continue to Angel’s Billabong.

If you look closely at the ocean you can be lucky enough to spot several Manta Rays here. The mighty creatures are known to congregate in this area.

Nusa Penida visual travel guide - Indonesia beyond Bali - Angel's Billabong

Angel’s Billabong is a natural tidal pool that was formed by the rough ocean waves. The name Billabong is an Australian word that means a small, secluded body of water that is isolated from a larger body of water.

The water in Angel’s Billabong is crystal clear and ranges from yellow to green and turquoise in color, making it one of the most picturesque spots in Nusa Penida. To fully enjoy the beauty of Angel’s Billabong, you should visit on low tide. During high tide, the water level rises and covers the pool.

During our first visit we did not realize that even during low tide, rogue waves can suddenly crash into the pool and sweep you out to sea. That has happened before and people have died here. Since we shot this photo, they have put up signs that strongly advise against entering the pool.

Nusa Penida just off the coast of Bali in Indonesia

This is a shot from our very first day on the island going back to Bintang Bungalows after a day at Crystal Bay. It’s no secret that I love palm trees, so Nuda Penida was like paradise to me. Lush green nature and rows of majestic palm trees everywhere.

Set aside a little time to spend here as well, because if you’re anything like me you’ll probably want to stop for photos all along this road.

West Nusa Penida - View of Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay in Nusa Penida is a beautiful beach with clear blue water and soft white sand set against lush greenery and a field of palm trees. It’s a great place for swimming, sunbathing, and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

The bay is also one of the most popular for snorkeling and diving because of the colorful coral reefs and diverse marine life. I’ve even seen dolphins here one time. You can rent snorkeling gear on the beach, just keep in mind that the currents are strong here even if the water looks calm.

The photo above was shot from the headland on the west side of the beach, just look for the stairs. You can even walk to Pandand Beach just next door from here, which takes about 20 minutes.

West Nusa Penida - Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay Beach has relatively small waves, yet the locals occasionally attempt to surf the left side. You will see surfboards scattered along the beach, which I thought was weird at first because it was so flat. Often you can also join in on a volleyball match in the flat area behind the beach.

There are small warungs where you can purchase refreshing drinks, coconuts, and basic food.

🌟 If you mainly want to go snorkeling, check out this amazing full-day tour departing from Bali. Experience Instagram highlights such as Kelingking Beach and Angel’s Billabong, snorkel and swim with the mantas. So much fun!

Pandan Beach, a small sandy cove, set between two lush headlands, next to Crystal Bay, one of the best places to visit in West Nusa Penida.

Pandan Beach is a hidden gem just next to Crystal Bay, I’ve had it all to myself both times I’ve been there. There are actually three beaches in a row separated by hills, the third is named Puyung Beach.

As I mentioned above, you get there by going up the stairs on the west side of Crystal Bay. Follow the path for about 20-30 minutes and don’t forget to enjoy the view along the way. You can continue from here to Puyung Beach, but since I was wearing flip-flops I never attempted that hike.

There’s a small shack where a local man is selling drinks near the entrance, but aside from that, the beach is all yours. Enjoy!

If you have time, enjoy a sunset dinner at Amok Sunset Restaurant close to Crystal Bay. There is a pool and many different seating areas to choose from, inside, the sundeck and some tall treehouses.

It’s the perfect spot for a sunset photoshoot. Sunset time in Nusa Penida Bali can be anywhere from 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm, depending on the day and month. I recommend getting to Amok before 5:30 pm to beat the crowds.

My favorites on the menu are the pulled rib tostadas, cheese bites and chicken fingers. They also have a wide selection of mocktails and cocktails.

If you make a reservation , they will pick you up and drop you off after dinner at no cost. Just keep in mind that the music is sometimes loud and they often have DJs during the weekend.

Where to stay in Nusa Penida

As mentioned above, you can easily visit West Nusa Penida on a day trip from Bali or Lembongan. However, then you have to spend most of your time in a car, the distances are long. And the island is so beautiful that I recommend spending at least two if not three nights here if you can.

Bintang Bungalow, one of the best places to stay in West Nusa Penida.

If you decide that one day in Nusa Penida is just not enough, I recommend finding a place to stay close to Crystal Bay and Gamat Bay on the west coast. My favorite budget accommodation option is Bintang Bungalows , located right in the middle of the two popular snorkeling spots.

As you can see above, you get your own super cute and highly-rated bungalow with air-conditioning and a semi-outdoor bathroom, and a beautiful pool area right on your doorstep.

If you have a roomier budget, be sure to check out Atalaya Villas Nusa Penida . Omg, I have no words. This place is an Instagrammers dream. I wish my bedroom at home looked like that!

Two of the villas boast their own private infinity pool overlooking a sea of palm trees below. The common pool area is just as beautiful with tipi-like day beds and a bar serving up frozen margaritas. Perfect after a day of exploring west Nusa Penida.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, to visit Nusa Penida you have to pay a tourist tax of 25,000 IDR/adult and IDR 15,000 IDR/child when you arrive at the harbor.

If you plan to snorkel, dive and swim in the Nusa Penida Marine Protection Area, you have to pay another fee of 100,000 IDR/day or 200,000/month. This fee is already included in most tour packages.

Nusa Penida experiences a drier climate than Bali, but the best time to visit is still during the dry season, which typically runs from April to October.

During this period, the weather is generally sunny with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the island’s natural beauty.

However, it’s important to note that Nusa Penida gets very busy during these months, so my personal favorite time to visit Penida, and Indonesia in general, is February to April. That’s when is beautifully green after the rainy season , but with fewer crowds.

Can Nusa Penida be done in 1 day? Yes, but you won’t be able to see everything. To explore the most popular attractions without feeling rushed, I recommend you spend at least 2 to 3 days on the island.

Nusa Penida’s rugged terrain and limited infrastructure may require additional time for travel between locations, so planning for a few days ensures a more relaxed and fulfilling visit.

The tap water in Bali is not considered safe to drink due to potential contamination with bacteria, viruses, and other impurities.

The infrastructure for water treatment and distribution may not meet the same standards as in some other countries, increasing the risk of waterborne illnesses.

To avoid Bali belly I recommend only drinking bottled water or water that has been properly filtered or boiled.

My favorite bottle for travel, backpacking and hiking.

You can fill it up anywhere, LifeStraw filters bacteria, parasites, chemicals and microplastics.

For every Life Straw product purchased, a child in need receives safe water for an entire school year!

🌟 LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle

It all depends on what you’re after, as Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida are very different.

Nusa Lembongan is known for its laid-back atmosphere, advanced surf spots , beautiful beaches, and excellent diving and snorkeling, making it a popular choice for those seeking a relaxed island getaway with a range of water-based activities.

On the other hand, Nusa Penida is hailed for its rugged, less-developed landscapes and towering cliffs, much like Bali’s Uluwatu area. Nusa Penida also has world-class snorkeling and hiking opportunities. So if you’re after a more active holiday, choose Nusa Penida.

In my two-week Bali itinerary I have included both, so be sure to check it out!

And lastly, here is a little overview of my camera gear . To be honest it’s nothing that fancy. I spent quite some time researching mirrorless cameras before I decided on the  Olympus om-d e-m10 mark , and I couldn’t be happier with my choice!

It’s so easy to use and the Olympus app connects the camera to your phone so you can use it as a remote. So helpful if it’s only you and your  tripod trying to get the shot. And it doesn’t hurt that it is so pretty to look at, a black and silver retro design.

For lenses, I sometimes use the 14-42mm that came with the camera, but for the most part, I use my  fixed f1.8 25mm  which creates the most stunning photos with blurry backgrounds. And if you’re a solo traveler you should definitely get yourself this  Gorillapod . You don’t want to drag around a large tripod everywhere, so a Gorillapod is your best friend!

Hi Charlotte,

First of all, I wanted to tell you your website is very useful! I’m very happy I found it 🙂

I’m going to Bali for 15 days, I have already been there but never visited NUSA PENIDA. How many days should we stay here? Is this island better than GILI’S? “less touristy” than Gili Meno? I really want to find nice beaches with less tourists as possible!!!!!! 🙂

Many thanks!!!!

' src=

22. March 2017 at 22:06

Thank you Monica, I’m happy to hear that 🙂 Meno is the least touristy of the Gili Islands, but I did feel there were even fewer tourists on Nusa Penida. Maybe because the island is much bigger than Meno. There aren’t really that many easily accessible beaches on Penida, so for that Meno might be better. But if it is those white-sand paradise beaches you’re after I would recommend you to go to the south coast of Lombok. It truly is paradise! So many beaches to choose from that you will most likely find one you can have all to yourself. Mot fast boats stop in Lombok before the Gilis so it doesn’t take that much longer to get there either 😉

The photos you have captured are absolutely stunning! I’ve yet to visit even Bali, but it looks like Nusa Penida will have to be included on my list as well. Was it easy to get around on a scooter?

23. March 2017 at 16:26

Thank you Tina! Not as easy as on Bali and Lembongan. Some of the roads are good and some are really bad. But then again there is very little traffic, so you can take your time which is nice 😉

Ahhh every one of your posts makes me more and more excited to be going to Bali in May!! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful photos and information. We are staying at Nusa Lembongan for 5 days, do you happen to know if it’s easy to get a boat from Lembongan to Penida?

28. March 2017 at 18:38

I’m so happy to hear that Tanya! 🙂 And I’m glad you’re staying for 5 nights on Lembongan, one of my favorite places. Yes you can easily get a boat to Penida. I think we paid 200k Rp one way for a private boat from the yellow bridge. Just ask at your hotel the night before when and where the boat departs from. But keep in mind that Penida is much bigger than Lembongan so you probably won’t be able to see it all in one day if you drive by yourself. There are many organized trips you can join or just get a driver 🙂 Happy travels!

Thanks for sharing, I am in love with Nusa Penida and can’t wait to explore. How many days do you think I’ll need between the Nusa islands? I was thinking 2 in Lembongan and Cenigan and 2 in Penida.

27. September 2017 at 22:05

Thanks, Caitlin, I’m so happy to hear that! Because of the bad roads, you won’t be able to see all the attractions on Nusa Penida in two days if you drive a motorbike by yourself. We had four days and didn’t manage to cover everything, but then again it was raining quite a lot. Also, remember that it’ll sometimes take about half a day getting there from Bali 🙂

East and West on One Day or Two Days?

Now, lots of folks opt for a day trip from Bali to Nusa Penida , but let me tell you from personal experience, there’s so much beauty to uncover on this island that I’d strongly suggest maybe staying overnight and doing a Nusa Penida East tour on the second day. It lets you really dive into the experience without feeling rushed or having to pick and choose between the stunning attractions of the West and East sides.

Sure, there are options for Nusa Penida West and East tours that pack everything into a single day, but they can be quite a whirlwind and leave you feeling worn out.

So, if it’s within your means, I’d recommend looking at the best places to stay in Nusa Penida so that you can cover both the west and east Nusa Penida island tours separately. Trust me, it’s worth it!

Having explored every corner of this island paradise multiple times, I’ve put together a list of the best-rated Nusa Penida West tours for fellow wanderlust souls. These are adventures that have left me spellbound, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Nusa Penida West Tour Attractions

Angel’s billabong.

This natural infinity pool found in Nusa Penida West has become one of the most Instagrammable spots in Bali. The spot is named after the crystal clear and calm waters which feel like a pool in the middle of the ocean. The rock cliffs that surround the area also make this a fascinating place to enjoy a sun-soaked day in Nusa Penida

Kelingking Beach

One of the most famous and beautiful beaches on the Island, Kelingking Beach’s name means pinkie finger in Indonesian. This beach is renowned for its iconic T-Rex-shaped cliff and turquoise blue waters. It’s a must-see destination on your tour of Nusa Penida West, and the perfect spot for some stunning photographs!

Broken Beach

panoramic view of broken beach nusa penida west on nusa penida west tour

An extraordinary natural wonder, Broken Beach is a testament to the raw and untamed beauty of Nusa Penida. This unique geological formation got its name from the archway that encircles the bay, creating a ‘broken’ effect. The turquoise waters contrast beautifully with the rugged cliffs, making it a perfect spot for awe-inspiring photos. Legend has it that a giant creature was banished here, leaving behind this breathtaking landscape.

Crystal Bay

Things to do in Nusa Penida Crystal Bay Beach on Nusa Penida west tour

The beautiful crystal clear bay of Nusa Penida West is one of the most alluring beaches situated in the area. As the name suggests, Crystal Bay is renowned for its crystal-clear waters that mirror the blue skies. This idyllic beach is surrounded by palm trees and offers a serene spot for relaxation. But the real magic happens beneath the surface. Crystal Bay is a popular spot for snorkelling, with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. It’s like stepping into a living aquarium!

Snorkelling Spots of Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is a snorkeller’s paradise, offering an underwater world teeming with life and colour. From Manta Point where you can swim with majestic manta rays, to Gamat Bay where you’ll find colourful coral gardens, each spot holds its own charm.

Travel Tips For Nusa Penida West Tours

  • Tackle the West and East Side Tours separately: I’ve made a separate blog post for Nusa Penida West and Nusa Penida East tours because its really hard to pack everything into one day- is it possible yes? but if you want to take lots of photos, head down to the beach and feel a bit more relaxed and not be rushed I recommend doing a Nusa Penida West trip and an east Nusa Penida day trip separately .
  • Motion Sickness Medication: Not needed by everyone but a good few people on our Bali/Sanur trip to Nusa Penida had severe motion sickness due to the rough seas and also struggled with motion sickness on our snorkelling trip- it really does get rough on occasions.
  • Bring a change of clothes: For the Tour that involves snorkelling, You’ll head out to the snorkelling stops first, then go onto the island and explore Nusa Penida West island tour attractions. Having a change of clothes and a towel will ensure you enjoy the rest of your tour in comfort.
  • Sun Protection: Nusa Penida is very exposed to the sun, so please bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. There is VERY MINIMAL shade at most of the attractions. I actually do not remember any shade on the Nusa Penida West tours, so cover up if you’re sun-sensitive.
  • Comfortable Shoes: We recommend wearing comfortable shoes for this tour as you’ll be doing quite a bit of walking. Flip flops or sandals are good for the beach portions, but some of the terrain is rougher if you’re descending down to Kelingking Beach or walking the circumference of Broken Beach.
  • Waterproof Camera: If you’re looking to capture the days memories, bring a waterproof camera for your snorkelling trip! Alternatively, phones come with great waterproof cases that can help protect them if it rains or while snorkelling/swimming.
  • Bring Cash: There is no ATM on the Island, so make sure you bring enough cash for any souvenirs or food/drinks that you may want to buy as well as tip for your guide or driver.

Nusa Penida West Tour FAQ

Absolutely! Nusa Penida is a beautiful destination and the West side of the island offers incredible attractions, stunning landscapes and unique experiences that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s definitely a place worth exploring if you’re looking for something different from your standard Bali holiday. Read my full post: Is Nusa Penida Worth Visiting?

I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes for the tour. It’s extremely hot, so lightweight, fast-drying clothes are best. If you’re planning on swimming or snorkelling, make sure to bring your swimsuit and a towel as well. It’s also important to wear sun protection such as sunglasses, hats and sunscreen since Nusa Penida is quite exposed to the sun.

The best time to visit Nusa Penida West or do a Nusa Penida East tour is during the dry months from April to October. During this time, you’re likely to experience clear skies and calmer waters. The wet season runs from November to March and while it can still be enjoyable during these months, the seas tend to be rougher and there’s more chance of rain. We visited during October, and it was still pretty dry. I don’t remember it raining at all actually.

A number of factors will play a role in the price of a Nusa Penida tour namely: Is it a private or join-in/shared tour? Is the one-day trip Nusa Penida tour from Bali or Nusa Penida, Is there included hotel pick up and drop off in Bali, What is included in the day tour package, The nusa penida day trip cost can range between as little as 400 000 IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) to 2 million IDR, Therefore the Nusa Penida tour package does depend on what type of experience you want.

Nusa Penida Day trips are dependent on which side of the island you want to see, the East or the West. I strongly recommend picking one day for each. This is my top pick for a West Nusa Penida Day tour: West Nusa Penida island Tour with Snorkelling , My other best Nusa Penida tour is the 2day 1night Nusa Penida tour

Most tours include a hotel pick/up and drop off in Bali and return boat transfers too. If you’re choosing a Bali Nusa Penida tour without this option: Check out separate fast boat ticket prices from Bali to Nusa Penida here

Yes, you can definitely do this. Nusa Penida is only a 25-minute boat ride away from Nusa Lembongan so it’s possible to make a day trip out of it. Once you arrive at the harbour in Nusa Penida, there are plenty of tour operators and drivers who will tout their services.

Yes, you can do a day trip from Sanur to Nusa Penida. It’s a journey of usually around 1 hour and 10 minutes boat ride but it’s still very doable. We took this route on our first Nusa Penida experience. This is the main way to get to Nusa Penida from Bali.

It really depends on what you’re looking for. Nusa Penida Wast offers a lot of photo-worthy attractions like Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach and Crystal Bay while the Eest side is more relaxed with spectacular views from Diamond and Atuh Beach and the insta-famous Rumah Pohon Treehouse stunning. I definitely recommend doing both as it’s quite hard to pack everything into one day.

We’ve had quite an adventure exploring the best of Nusa Penida West tour, haven’t we? From the majestic Kelingking Beach to the serene natural pool of Angel’s Billabong, every moment has been a testament to the beauty that Indonesia has to offer.

Now, it’s your turn to dive into this experience! Choose from our top three recommended tours and embark on your own journey of discovery.

When you return, sun-kissed and brimming with stories, remember to share your experiences with me! I can’t wait to hear about your adventures in Nusa Penida. So, are you ready to make some memories? Book your tour now and let Nusa Penida’s magic unfold before your eyes.

Nusa Penida Day Trip from Bali: Complete Guide

Located about a 30-minute boat ride from Bali, Nusa Penida is the largest of the three Nusa islands and definitely feels like paradise on earth!

With so many things to see and do on the island, it can be hard to see everything on a day trip. For this reason, I recommend sticking to the west side of Nusa Penida, which is home to some of the most unique attractions.

From breathtaking viewpoints to T-Rex-shaped cliffs overlooking stunningly blue waters, a natural infinity pool, and pristine beaches, a day trip to Nusa Penida from Bali is an absolute must!

In this blog post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to plan an epic Nusa Penida day trip, including the best places to visit, how to get there from Bali, how to get around the island, tour suggestions, and other helpful tips.

Planning a Nusa Penida Day Trip

If you prefer to visit Nusa Penida as part of a guided tour , you have the option between a group or private tour. Both will take you to Kelingking Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach, and Crystal Bay.

If you have the budget, I highly recommend booking the private tour as you’ll be able to customize your itinerary and choose how long to spend at each attraction.

Below are a few recommendations for Nusa Penida day tours from Bali:

Another option is to book a snorkeling and sightseeing tour . After a pick-up from your hotel in Bali and a boat transfer to Nusa Pena, you’ll spend the first half of the day snorkeling at four different spots, namely Manta Bay, Gamat Bay, Crystal Bay, and Wall Point. After lunch, you’ll then visit all the top attractions on the west coast.

DIYing your day trip to Nusa Penida

For those who don’t want to visit as part of a tour, you can easily customize your day trip. Below you’ll find all the best places to visit. Make sure to follow the same order if you want to skip the crowds and maximize your time at each attraction.

Kelingking Beach

The first place I recommend visiting during your day trip to Nusa Penida is Kelingking Beach . This is because it’s the most popular attraction on the island and thus the most crowded. Plan to get there at least before 9.30 a.m to avoid the crowds.

The view from the top of the T-Rex shaped cliff offers a breathtaking panoramic view and the white sand beach below is absolutely stunning! It’s no doubt the most beautiful photo spot in Bali .

Most people only visit the viewpoint area but if you’re fit and not afraid of heights, you can also hike down to the beach.

Note that the hike is quite hard due to the steep steps but well worth it for a chance to see the beach up close.

There’s no entrance fee except for a small parking fee of IDR 5k.

T-Rex shaped cliff at Kelingking beach Nusa Penida

Related post: Complete guide to visiting Kelingking Beach

Angel’s Billabong

The next stop is Angel’s Billabong , a natural infinity pool located about a 40-minute drive from Kelingking. The pool boasts crystal-clear water and is definitely a unique spot to swim in (during low tide only!).

When the tide is high, gigantic waves crash into the pool, making swimming extremely dangerous. There have been a few accidents before so make sure to always follow the guidelines and only go into the pool when swimming is allowed.

Again there’s no entrance fee except for a small parking fee of IDR 5k.

Related post: Guide to visiting Angel’s Billabong in Nusa Penida  

Broken Beach

Another unique place to visit is Broken Beach . It’s located within the same area as Angel’s Billabong and can be reached on foot in less than 5 minutes.

Here you’ll find a little cove surrounded by tall cliffs except for the natural arched bridge that allows water to flow in and out. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to go down to the beach but you can still admire the view from above.

Related post: Visiting Broken Beach in Nusa Penida

Manta Ray Viewpoint

If you turn right towards the cliffs about halfway in between Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach, you’ll find the Manta Ray viewpoint. If you’re patient enough, you can spot Manta Rays swimming in the ocean below.

Crystal Bay

The final stop on this Nusa Penida day trip from Bali is Crystal Bay. Surrounded by rows of palm trees, Crystal Bay is the perfect place to relax after a long travel day.

It’s also a prime spot for snorkeling as the bay is full of fish. I booked a snorkeling tour when I was visiting Nusa Lembongan and we stopped at Manta Point and Crystal Bay. I even got the opportunity to see some huge Mola Mola fish on the tour.

Just a heads up though, don’t expect a pristine white sand beach like you would see at Kelingking. Crystal Bay is rocky in places and the waves can sometimes be rough.

Palm trees and colorful umbrellas on Crystal Bay in Nusa Penida

Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite beach but it was still nice to watch the sunset there. There are a few restaurants here as well as a couple of street food stalls along the beach. 

If you have time, I also recommend hiking to Pandan Beach , which is more secluded. The trail can be found by taking the stairs on the left side of Crystal Bay.

There’s no entrance fee for Crystal Bay except for a parking fee of IDR 5k.

small islands near Crystal Bay

How to get to Nusa Penida from Bali?

If you’re not joining a tour, you’ll need to arrange transportation to Nusa Penida on your own.

You first need to take a ferry from Sanur in Bali. You can easily book your ticket online or go directly to Sanur Harbor. You’ll find several boat operators at the harbor but keep in mind that you might need to wait in line if you’re visiting during high season.

The boat will then drop you off at Toya Pakeh Harbor and the next step will be to hire a taxi with driver , join a guided tour , or rent a motorbike .

waves crashing along Kelingking beach

Note : The roads in Nusa Penida aren’t the best and are full of potholes! Only attempt to ride a motorbike if you’re highly experienced as it can be dangerous driving on these roads.

While most people choose to visit Nusa Penida as a day trip from Bali, you can also take a boat from Nusa Lembongan . You can buy boat tickets near the Yellow Bridge on Nusa Lembongan ( click here for the location ) for about IDR 50k.

Nusa Penida Tour: The Perfect day trip from Bali

Nusa Penida Tour: The Perfect day trip from Bali

Nusa Penida is the little gem of Bali. Penida island is part of the Nusa Islands , is the biggest of the 3 but until now the least developed. By visiting Nusa Penida expect white-sand beaches with silky blue water, 200-meter high coastal cliffs drop, and yet untouched nature. It is recommended to either visit the island by a one-day Nusa Penida Tour or a 3-day Nusa Penida trip .

Things to see on a Nusa Penida Tour

During a Nusa Penida day tour, you can either explore the west or east coast of Penida Island. West is more popular since it is closer to the harbor. East is at least as beautiful and has fewer tourists. If you prefer to see both sides, it is better to do a 3-day Nusa Penida Trip .

The Ultimate Guide to Exploring Nusa Penida’s West Coast

August 28, 2019 · In: Indonesia , Travel Guides

Nusa Penida is an island off the coast of Bali that is known for its rugged coastline , jaw dropping cliffs and picturesque beaches .

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three Nusa Islands which also include Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. It is the most wild and underdeveloped but that is slowly starting to change as tourism is increasing.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to see both sides of the island in one day due to the road conditions. Therefore if you are short on time and only have one day you will have to choose which side to visit.

If you have the time, it is best to spend at least 3 days on Penida Island if you want to explore both the east and west sides.

The west coast of Penida Island includes spectacular sights like Kelinking Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Tembling Forest & Beach and more!

Most of the main stops along Nusa Penida’s west coast can be done in one day but you always have the option to add or remove anything from the itinerary.

Keep in mind that traveling around Nusa Penida is not easy. Due to the condition of the roads, most of the sights will take anywhere from 45-90 minutes to reach even though the actual distance isn’t that far.

In order to maximize your day exploring the west coast it is best to arrive to the island very early in the morning. If you are staying a few days then I would recommend waking up early and hitting the road around sunrise.

Top Places to Visit on Nusa Penida’s West Coast

1. manta point.

Starting at the farthest location from the Harbor is Manta Point. High up on the cliffside you’ll find one of the most stunning views overlooking the ocean. Inhale the fresh air as you peer over the edge in hopes of spotting some of the majestic manta rays.

Send your gaze down to where the rocks meet the ocean and you’ll see them flying through the water. Luckily, the manta swim quite close to the surface so even though you’ll be about 200 meters up you’ll still be able to spot them.

› To Reach Manta Point:

If you are renting a motorbike and driving yourself then type Manta Point Nusa Penida into your GPS. Or you can use these coordinates:( -8.7911747, 115.5256028) This will take you to a spot where you can park your bike and then walk to the edge of the cliff.

To get to the main spot you will walk past the temple and continue along a makeshift path until you reach the area where all the boats are.

There was no one there at this location to make you pay for parking.

2. Peguyangan Waterfall/Mata Air Guyangan

Possibly the only spot on Nusa Penida that I wouldn’t recommend visiting would be this waterfall. Unless you have a ton of time and are looking for something to do to fill your day.

We arrived at this waterfall to find out that we had to pay 15K IDR (~$1.05 USD) per person to rent a sarong since it is actually a temple down at the bottom. If you already have one then just bring your own. Also, pants, a long dress/skirt or a towel will not work.

However, they are quite sketchy.

The steep blue stairs at the waterfall in Nusa Penida

The climb down takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how slow and careful you are. We probably took closer to an hour because we were wearing flip flops and were trying to be extra careful.

I’ll be honest, I was pretty nervous the whole way down and back up and I am not afraid of heights in the slightest. So if you are then I would advise skipping this all together.

An area that you have to walk through with slippery rocks to reach the waterfall

The bathing pool was small and so was the waterfall. Honest opinion for the Peguyangan Waterfall? Skip it!

› To Reach Peguyangan Waterfall:

To reach the waterfall and temple on your own you will type Peguyangan Waterfall Nusa Penida into your Google Maps. Or you can use these GPS coordinates: (-8.7810896, 115.5186767). Once you arrive here you will see a motorbike parking area and a couple of guys renting the sarongs.

3. Tembeling Beach and Forest

One of the least touristy spots on Nusa Penida’s west coast is the Tembeling Beach and Forest. This hidden spot is filled with lush greenery, natural bathing pools and a small private beach.

A path that leads through a forest on Nusa Penida

However, just be very careful if you swim on any of the beaches on the island as the currents are very strong and the tides come in fast.

› To Reach Tembeling Beach and Forest:

This one was a bit tricky to find. To reach this spot type Tembeling Springs into your Google Maps or use these GPS coordinates: (-8.7639000, 115.5022170). If you type in Tembeling Beach & Forest your Google Maps might take you to a different spot like it did for us.

A natural bathing pool at Tembeling

The road down is extremely steep and very narrow with a significant drop down on your left hand side. Do NOT drive down unless you are a very skilled motorbike driver. You can also walk down but it would probably take around 45 minutes and the walk up would be pretty hard.

There were no parking or entrance fees here.

4. Kelingking Beach

One of the most iconic and insta-famous spots on Nusa Penida’s west coast is definitely Kelingking beach. Made famous due to its T-Rex shaped formation, this is a must visit for anyone traveling to the island.

If you want another view besides the main stairs you can head up the side of the cliff just a short ways!

› To Reach Kelinking Beach:

To get to this spot type Kelinking Beach into your Google Maps or use these GPS Coordinates: (-8.7508444, 115.4744766). You can drive all the way until you reach the area with the shops and parking. From there you will walk just a bit further to see Kelinking Beach.

5. Broken Beach

Located just a few steps from Angel’s Billabong is Broken Beach. This large natural rock archway is another picturesque spot on Nusa Penida’s west coast. You can walk along the entire path and up over the arch but are not allowed to go down to the actual beach.

› To Reach Broken Beach:

Located within the same area as Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach is easy to reach. Once you’ve parked and seen Angel’s Billabong, walk along the path a short distance and you will see the archway.

6. Angel’s Billabong

One of the most beautiful natural infinity pools we’ve ever seen is Angel’s Billabong! During our visit the steps leading down were roped off so you couldn’t swim in it.

While we aren’t sure if swimming here is a great idea due to the strong currents and waves that crash over the edge, it seems that some people are still getting in. We will leave that decision up to you but just be careful should you decided to take a dip.

› To Reach Angel’s Billabong

To get here type Angel’s Billabong into your map or use these GPS Coordinates: (8.7332938, 115.4482674) This will take you to the parking area and from there you will walk along the path to reach the natural infinity pool.

The roads to reach here are definitely some of the worst in Nusa Penida but it seems they have been making some improvements since the last time I was there!

7. Crystal Bay

Located closest to the Harbor and the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring Nusa Penida’s west coast. Surrounded by palm trees, Crystal Bay is most recognizable by the large rock formation in the center of the beach.

› To Reach Crystal Bay:

Probably the easiest place to get to on the whole island is Crystal Bay. The roads are paved the entire way and while you will have some steep inclines and declines the drive is good. Once you reach Crystal Bay you can find parking and there are no fees.

How to Get to Nusa Penida Island

› from bali.

To get to Nusa Penida from Bali you will first get to the Sanur Harbor on the south east side of the island. You can either take a taxi, GRAB, motorbike or tour company to reach the harbor.

Once you’ve arrived you will find many fast boat companies where you can purchase either a one way ticket or an open return ticket.

The journey to Penida Island takes about 45 minutes and there are many boats that run during the day.

› From Nusa Lembongan

To get to Nusa Penida from Lembongan you can easily take one of the fast boats which take about 10 minutes. The boats leave directly from the yellow bridge on the Lembongan side at these exact GPS coordinates (8.6930270, 115.4506560) The tickets cost 50,000 IDR (~$3.50USD) for one-way or 100,000 IDR (~$7 USD) for a return.

The boats typically leave every hour starting at 8AM but they might leave more frequently if they have enough passengers. The last boat leaving Nusa Lembongan back to Penida is at 5PM so make sure you are at the harbor before then!

How to Get Around Nusa Penida’s West Coast

There are quite a few ways to adventure around the island. The most popular, albeit dangerous, choice is to rent your own motorbike. The roads can be very dangerous in some parts so it is important that you be a skilled driver before deciding to rent a bike.

Where to Stay on Nusa Penida

With the increase in tourism, new accommodations are popping up all over the island. From budget stays to luxury hotels, you will be sure to find something that fits your needs. I’ve stayed in one of the iconic bungalows, as well as one of the smaller guesthouses and both were very nice.

Nusa Penida is so high on my bucket list. I really wish I had the time to visit this beautiful spot when I went to Bali, but because I was on a blogging retreat, it didn’t happen. This is a well-written and thorough article that I will keep handy for when I eventually go.

Thanks so much Taylor! I definitely hope that you make it back to Bali and can visit Nusa Penida one day soon!

Nusa Penida Island In Bali: Travel Guide & How To Visit

The beautiful, exotic Nusa Penida island lies just 25 kilometers from Bali, the most famous tourist destination in Indonesia.

Nusa Penida is a much smaller island than Bali, but it has some of the most amazing scenery in the entire Bali province (which it’s part of).

We’ve visited Penida more than a dozen times over the years, but it never gets old. This island is definitely one of the most beautiful places to visit in Indonesia .

The island can be visited on a day trip from Bali (same day return), but I think it’s better to stay and spend at least a few days sightseeing. There are so many good photo spots, hikes, and other things to do in Nusa Penida!

This travel blog will explain what to do in Nusa Penida, how to get there, where to stay, best transport options and tour packages, and some of the top sights to see. I’ve also included a handy Nusa Penida island map for trip planning!

Where Is Nusa Penida?

Nusa Penida is a small island located southeast of Bali, Indonesia. The distance from Bali is about 25 kilometers (15 miles).

Penida has two small neighboring islands sitting right next to it called Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, and together these are known as the Nusa islands, but Nusa Penida has become the most famous of the three because of its scenic cliff views and stunning beaches.  

How To Get To Nusa Penida

From Bali, the only way to reach Nusa Penida is by speedboat or ferry, with the speedboat journey taking about 45 minutes or so. There’s no airport in Nusa Penida, so the closest place to fly is the international airport in Bali (DPS). You can shop for flights to Bali at Skyscanner.

There are a bunch of speedboat companies in Bali making the trip to Penida daily, and they all depart from Sanur Beach at various times. If you’re staying in Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, or elsewhere in south Bali, you can also drive over to Sanur and catch a boat. Some boat companies include a shuttle service from these areas in their total price.

I wrote a complete guide on how to get to Nusa Penida with one of these speedboat companies if you want to go there independently and arrange everything yourself. It’s more economical than booking a tour package, but also a bit more complicated.

The other option is booking a day tour to Nusa Penida with a Bali-based tour company. This can be a good option if you’re on a tight schedule or want to skip the hassle.

Visiting Nusa Penida Island – Tourist Fee

Since 2023, there’s now an entrance fee for tourists arriving by boat at Nusa Penida, and it’s intended to pay for better infrastructure on the island.

You’ll pay this in cash when you first get off the boat in Penida, and the fee is 25k Rupiah for adults and 15k for children. It gives you entry to all three of the Nusa islands: Penida, Lembongan, and Ceningan.

This ticket also gives you entrance to all of the main attractions and beaches on Nusa Penida, so you don’t have to pay a second fee at Kelingking Beach anymore, for example.

Overall, it’s a positive change, because in the past you had to whip out your wallet and pay a small entrance fee at every tourist spot in Nusa Penida. That was a bit tiresome. Nowadays, you pay once at the harbor and you’re done.  

Transport: How To Get Around On Nusa Penida

Even though Nusa Penida is a much smaller island than Bali (with about 4 percent of Bali’s land mass), it’s still not exactly tiny. You can expect to spend hours driving around if you want to see the best sights on each corner of the island.

Just like in Bali, you have two main transport options for exploring Nusa Penida: motorbike rental (self drive), or hire a car and private driver.

Many of the roads in Nusa Penida are still very rough and narrow, so I don’t think motorbikes are a good idea here, although lots of people seem to do it with no issues. Remember to wear a helmet, honk your horn before hills and blind turns, and be prepared to pull over to the side to let cars pass. There’s not a lot of room on the road.

When I visit Nusa Penida I’ve always rented a car with driver (you can book here ) because it’s safer and more comfortable, and the prices are only a bit higher than what you’d pay in Bali for a full day of driving.

Scooters are also easy to rent from your accommodation (or other places) in Penida, and you can expect to pay about 75k Rupiah (~$5 USD) per day with a full tank of gas.

For short taxi trips (like hotel transfers to/from the dock) you can usually arrange those on the spot or with your hotel, although they’re not very cost effective.

Unfortunately the Grab and Go-Jek ride hailing apps are not yet available in Nusa Penida (only Bali), but maybe that will change eventually.

What To Do In Nusa Penida

• kelingking beach.

The Kelingking Cliff is the most famous view in Nusa Penida, and probably one of the most iconic views anywhere in Bali.

This is an incredible ‘T-Rex’ shaped rock sticking out over the ocean, with perfect turquoise water splashing around it. The first time you look over the edge of the cliff and see this view, it really is breathtaking!

After you’re done admiring the scenery at the Kelingking Cliff, there’s also a path to go down to the beach at the bottom.

The hike down to the beach is a major workout, a bit scary, and takes at least two hours roundtrip, but you’re rewarded with one of the best white sand beaches in Nusa Penida Bali.

• Paluang Cliff Viewpoint

Everyone goes to Kelingking Cliff, but there’s another spot located very close to it with its own amazing scenery, called Paluang Cliff. It’s just a 5 minute drive from Kelingking.

Paluang may not be as well known as Kelingking, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a great alternative spot that gives you views of the Kelingking T-rex from the other side, without the crowds.

There are swings and photo platforms at the Paluang Cliff, plus a Balinese temple with a quirky car shrine, called the ‘car temple’ of Nusa Penida.

• Broken Beach

For most visitors to Nusa Penida island, one of the first stops will be Broken Beach. This is a cool circular cove formed in the rocks, complete with a leftover arch.

This area is also one of the popular hangout spots for the manta rays, so you’ll most likely get to see some rays floating around in the sea nearby.

The bottom is filled with turquoise water from the waves coming in, and there’s even a small white sand beach. You can’t actually go down to the beach, just admire from above, but what a cool view it is!

There’s a few old local legends associated with this place that say it was created either by a giant’s footsteps or by an angry sorcerer.

It’s definitely a very unique kind of formation that I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere else in the world.

• Crystal Bay

One of the popular spots on the west side of Penida is Crystal Bay. This is a good hangout or suntanning spot, and it has plenty of food and drink shacks for refreshments. Snorkeling gear can be rented here, or you can just sit around and chill out while eating some chicken satay.

The great thing about Crystal Bay is that it’s one of the best spots to catch the sunset in Penida. Last July, I went back here with a buddy and we sipped Bintangs with our toes in the sand while the sunset came down over the rocks on the coast.

• Banah Cliff Point

The great thing about Banah Cliff Point is that it actually has half a dozen different view points along the cliffs, and at each view point you can walk right up to the edge of the cliff and look down at the waves crashing on the rocks.

From these cliffs you can usually see a bunch of tiny manta rays and speedboats floating around on the ocean below. You can also see the Banah rock, a doughnut shaped rock sticking out of the ocean. Great stuff!

• Tembeling Cave & Beach

The Tembeling beach and forest is a hidden spot tucked away in the cliffs on Nusa Penida’s west coast, with a natural pool and small waterfall to enjoy.

My favorite feature of this beach is the awesome sea cave that opens up to a view of the huge cliffs on the coast, but this place is also becoming popular for the Tembeling natural pool, which you can take a dip in and relax.

The access to this beach is a bit tricky, but it’s one of our favorite spots in Bali!

• Atuh Beach

This is one of the nicest beaches on the south end of Penida island. Unlike Suwehan Beach, Atuh is not a secret and there are sunbeds, beanbags, and a couple of nice food and drink shacks here.

The highlight of Atuh Beach is probably the big elephant shaped rock in the ocean (locals say it looks like a stiletto), and the big variety of sea life that can be seen trapped in the rocks at low tide.

• Nusa Penida Treehouse (Rumah Pohon)

Have you ever wanted to sleep in a wooden tree house and wake up to the sounds of the ocean? Here’s where you can do it. The room and bed are very basic, but the views and location are out of this world.

You’ll fall asleep to the sound of geckos chirping in the trees, and wake up to an incredible sunrise over the Raja Lima islands, with dolphins and manta rays swimming and jumping in the distance.

• Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach, named after the pointy diamond shaped rock on the beach, is another utterly incredible “cliff beach” on the southeastern coast of Nusa Penida island.

It’s accessible since late 2018, when a path down to the beach was carved into the side of the cliffs. I’ve even seen some wildlife occasionally, from monitor lizards to dolphins and manta rays.

This place is also becoming popular thanks to the scenic swing, where you can take pictures while swinging between two palm trees over the beach.

• Teletubbies Hill

The center of Penida island has these big round hills named after the background scenery from the Teletubbies kids show.

They look kind of like the Chocolate Hills in Bohol Philippines , and using a drone here gives you some unique perspectives.

If you come here during or just after the rainy season (roughly December to April), then the hills are a perfect green color.

Between April and May, the hills are a more yellow color, but still neat to see. During the summer however, the hills will turn dry and brown, so they won’t look as nice.

• Suwehan Beach

Looking for a hidden beach with perfect white sand and turquoise waves? Suwehan is one of the best hidden beaches in Penida.

The hike down to the beach takes about 30 minutes and it’s exhausting, but very worthwhile. This is one of my favorite places in Penida. There’s even a cool pointy rock that looks like a Christmas tree.

This beach is a hidden gem that still isn’t included in most Nusa Penida island tour packages, but you can get there with a scooter or car charter. Careful, because the road is quite rough.

• Suwehan Tree House

In 2018, the locals built some tree houses at the top of Suwehan cliff. There’s four of these tree houses now, and you can stay the night in them!

Don’t expect luxury, but there’s an outside shower/bathroom and a small food shack for ordering meals, and the beds look comfy.

The best part is that you have a stunning view of the ocean and cliffs, and it’s just a short distance from Suwehan Beach!

• Goa Giri Putri Temple

This is a Hindu temple inside of a big limestone cave, located on the east side of Penida. To reach it, you have to climb more than one hundred steps to the top of the hill.

After crawling through a tiny hole in the side of the mountain, the inside opens up to a huge cave about 300 meters long, with high rock ceilings!

Hindu ceremonies are still performed here, but it’s also open to tourists. Exploring this cave is an interesting experience, for sure.

• Nyanyad Beach

This is a mostly unknown beach on the south end of Nusa Penida, with a small temple and giant hills on both sides of the beach.

The road to Nyanyad Beach is a bit tricky to find, but well worth the effort. Google Maps will try to steer you onto a wrong road that leads to a lighthouse.

Once you reach the parking area for Nyanyad, the hike down to the beach only takes 15 minutes, with concrete steps all the way, and the beach has perfect white sand!

This spot is another hidden gem that isn’t included in most Nusa Penida island tour packages, although you can get there with a scooter or car charter.

• Peguyangan Waterfall

If you want to try a sketchy, remote Nusa Penida hike with steep paths to get your adrenaline going, this one is for you.

Peguyangan is a small waterfall and natural swimming pool at the bottom of some cliffs on Nusa Penida island, and you reach it by climbing down hundreds of steps on a bright blue stairway.

It’s not for the faint of heart, but the ocean and cliff views here are incredible, which is why I’d rate it as one of the best hikes in Nusa Penida.

There’s even a neat little ultra scenic hotel at the top of the cliffs called Waterfall Inn , with stunning views of the whole area.

Best Nusa Penida Photo Spot

It’s hard to pick the best Nusa Penida photo spot, but I’d say it’s probably a toss-up between Kelingking Beach and Diamond Beach . Both are amazing.

Two other great photo spots in Nusa Penida would have to be Suwehan Beach and the Nusa Penida treehouse . These are stunning, and Suwehan is still pretty underrated.  

Best Nusa Penida Beaches

If white sand is the main thing you’re looking for in Bali, then you’ll want to check out my complete Nusa Penida beach guide, which has a list of all of the very best Penida island beaches .

Obviously there are the famous beaches like Kelingking , Diamond , and Atuh , but there are also quite a few others that are not so well known.

Nusa Penida Hike List

Probably the most epic Nusa Penida hike is the famous Kelingking Cliff , where you can climb down a steep stairway to reach a pristine white sand beach at the bottom.

Another good Nusa Penida hike is Tembeling Beach And Forest , which has a nice mix of jungle and beach scenery, plus a sea cave and natural swimming pool.

If you really want an off-the-radar Nusa Penida hike, check out Batu Siha Beach . This is a new one I explored in 2019, and it’s still untouched except for locals. The path is intense and exhausting, but there’s a white sand beach at the bottom.

The hiking trails in Nusa Penida tend to be very short and intense, because you’re usually climbing down steep cliffs to reach a secluded beach, temple, or waterfall at the bottom.

Unlike Bali, Penida island doesn’t have any mountains or volcanoes to hike. This also means waterfalls are scarce on the island, although there are a couple interesting ones like Peguyangan Waterfall .

Best Sunset Spot In Nusa Penida

There are lots of great sunset spots in Nusa Penida.

The island has a long west-facing coastline, and pretty much anywhere on the west side is good for watching the sunset.

Two favorites are Crystal Bay , which has a relaxing beach, and Amok Sunset , which is a nice restaurant with views over Nusa Ceningan. The views at Kelingking Beach or Paluang Cliff can also be pretty nice.

Sunset time in Nusa Penida Bali can be anywhere from 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM, depending on the day and month. You can check that here .

For a good sunrise spot, check out the Nusa Penida treehouse , on the southeast side of the island.

Water Sports In Nusa Penida

The main water sports in Nusa Penida are snorkeling and scuba diving, and these are exceptional! The section below talks about these activities in a bit more detail.

Unlike Bali, Nusa Penida is not really known for good surfing or waves. However, two other good water sports in Nusa Penida are jet skiing and boat charters.

A boat charter can be great for snorkeling, fishing, or just relaxing while sightseeing around the coast of the island. You can book this with Pulau Private Charters , and they have cruise options to fit every need.

I’ve been itching to try a jet ski tour around Nusa Penida, because it looks like an amazing way to see the epic coastline from a new perspective. The only company currently offering this is Jet Ski Safari Bali Wibisana , and it’s not cheap!

Scuba Diving & Snorkeling In Nusa Penida

The coral reefs around Nusa Penida island are fantastic for diving and snorkeling, and you can even swim with manta rays, ocean sunfish (‘mola mola’), and all kinds of other colorful fish.

In fact, Nusa Penida is one of the best places in the world to swim with manta rays and giant mola mola fish. The latter can only be seen by scuba diving, but manta rays are easy to see while snorkeling near the surface. Take a look at Underwater Photography Guide’s handy writeup for scuba diving in Nusa Penida and Lembongan , including seasonal tips and the best diving spots.

For snorkeling, some of the best spots in Nusa Penida include Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, Gamat Bay, and Toyapakeh Wall. It’s possible to visit all of these spots in a day trip. There’s also an underwater Buddha statue , but sadly they don’t seem to be allowing access anymore.

Nusa Penida snorkeling tours can be arranged on the spot at Toyapakeh boat harbor, or it’s also possible to book them online as day tours departing from Bali, complete with hotel pickup and speed boat transfer.

What To Bring

If you’re putting together a Nusa Penida packing list, here are a few ideas of good things to bring.

Most of the items below can probably be found on Nusa Penida island in a pinch, but the quality of stuff you buy on the street won’t be guaranteed (personally, I’m not about to use a junky knockoff bag from a street vendor to protect my expensive camera gear).

It’s best to buy vetted products online!

  • Waterproof Bag: Essential for keeping your electronics safe on the boats. I brought a 30 liter bag and was able to fit my drone, tablet, camera, phone, and a bunch of other stuff inside. Everything was kept dry, even when I took the bag swimming a few times!
  • Waterproof Phone Pouch: Same as above, but these are for your phone only. Great if you don’t have other electronics and just need something small to protect your phone.
  • Snorkeling Gear: Many of the areas around Nusa Penida have nice corals and fish, and you won’t want to miss out on them. Snorkels and masks can be rented on the boat too, but if you plan to do multiple tours it’s more economical to bring your own gear.
  • Water Shoes: Save your feet some grief and wear water shoes! We got some cuts while walking to shore from the boats.

Nusa Penida Restaurants

The flurry of tourism is bringing lots of new restaurants and cafes to Nusa Penida, so now it has a bunch of great options!

Here are just a few of our restaurant recommendations:

  • Penida Colada : This was one of the first great restaurants on the island, with a big menu, beach vibes, good food and good presentation. Plus the name is cool!
  • Secret Penida Cafe : Another nice beachfront cafe in north Nusa Penida with Western and Indonesian food.
  • Penida Espresso : Best smoothie bowls on the island, and they’re very reasonably priced. Nice for a hot day.
  • Sweet Spot : One of the first indoor cafes on the island with air-conditioning! Great breakfast here.
  • The Chill : Ocean view pool with no minimum spend! Nice atmosphere with a wade-up bar and swings.
  • Amok Sunset : Fancy cliffside restaurant and bar with a pool, and great sunset views over Nusa Ceningan.
  • Warung Nengah Mesin : Mother’s cooking. Simply delicious. This is a local warung in the south part of the island, so it’s easy to reach from many of the major sights.

Penida Colada restaurant drinks

Nusa Penida Massage & Spa

Nusa Penida doesn’t have a lot of massage places compared to Bali, but I’m sure that’ll change over time as more tourists arrive. A foot massage is the perfect way to unwind after a full day of hiking or touring.

One of the best massage places in Nusa Penida would have to be Tejas Spa Warnakali , which has ocean views and is part of the Adiwana Warnakali Resort . You don’t need to be a guest at the resort to get a massage there, it’s open to the public.

For budget spa and massage places in Nusa Penida, you can check out Little Papaya , Juara Spa , and Dhipalia Massage . However, we haven’t tried these ones yet, so I can’t vouch for the quality.  

Other Nusa Penida Tips

  • Credit Cards: Almost all restaurants, hotels, and other charges in Penida are cash only. Best thing to do is bring plenty of cash with you from Bali. I also like to book my bigger purchases online (like hotels and drivers), that way I can pay for them with credit card and save my precious cash for those little roadside warungs and fresh coconuts!
  • ATM: Penida still has very few ATM options. The most reliable seems to be the Bank BRI booth at Sampalan , but it only lets you pull 1 million Rupiah per try.
  • Cell Service: Phone reception is strong with Telkomsel in most of the main areas of Penida, although you may lose service in some places while driving around because of the hilly terrain of the island.
  • WiFi: The WiFi situation in Penida used to be very poor compared to Bali, but it has improved dramatically in the last few years, so most hotels already have good WiFi that can be used for browsing, streaming videos, and sending emails.
  • Convenience Stores: There are lots of small mini marts, especially around the north shore, where you can buy cheap snacks, drinks, toiletries, sunscreen, and other such things. Sari Yoga Mart and Bagus Mart are two good options. However, their selection is much smaller than what you’ll find shopping in Bali.
  • Language: The locals in Nusa Penida speak Balinese with a distinct dialect, and although many of them also understand Indonesian, they’re not schooled in English (unlike in Bali). This means most Nusa Penidans only know a little bit of English that they’ve been able to pick up from tourists, so be patient and come prepared to explain things by pointing or showing pictures.
  • Mosquitoes: There is some dengue fever present in Nusa Penida, but it seems to be less common than in Bali, which is probably because of the drier climate in Penida. You won’t need bug spray for visiting the beaches or really any of the popular tourist sites, but we have seen mosquitoes at the Tembeling forest and Goa Giri Putri, as well as near some of the hotels in Nusa Penida. Thankfully there is no malaria in either Penida or Bali, so you don’t need to worry about anti-malarial medications or anything like that. The entire Bali province is certified malaria free according to this Lancet study from 2018.

Is Nusa Penida Safe?

Yes, Nusa Penida is very safe!

We live in Bali off and on. Violent crime is unheard of in Penida, and petty crime is also rare. Just take normal precautions. This is a tight knit community and the locals are very kind and hospitable.

Balinese are religious people, so please don’t disrespect the temples or local culture. And do be careful if you hike any of the steep cliffs like Kelingking Beach!

Sekartaji Cliff Point Drone Nusa Penida Bali

Nusa Penida Wildlife

Just like Bali, the island of Nusa Penida is full of wonderful wildlife, and if you’re lucky you might see some during your visit.

Animals living in Penida include bats, spiders, monitor lizards, and monkeys (Balinese macaques). You can see the monkeys at Kelingking Cliff and other places on the island. At the Goa Giri Putri cave , there are even two species of endangered purplish-orange crabs that live nowhere else on Earth except Nusa Penida island.

Nusa Penida is a bird sanctuary with many endangered bird species, including the very nice Bali starlings. Not many of these are left in the wild, so sightings are rare, but it’s hoped their numbers will improve.

Snakes in Nusa Penida include pythons, vipers, spitting cobras, and sea snakes. The only one I’ve seen here personally is the island pit viper (Trimeresurus insularis).

In the main tourist spots of Nusa Penida, you aren’t likely to ever see a snake. If you do, treat it with extreme caution! Venomous snakes in Bali can be very dangerous and there’s no anti-venom available in Penida.

One time I almost stepped on a very venomous island pit viper while hiking in Nusa Penida. My foot landed within inches of the snake, which was coiled up in the center of the path, but thankfully its head was turned away from me and it didn’t see how close my foot landed.

The triangular head and bright red tail on its green body was a giveaway. This was in a less traveled part of the island with lots of foliage. It wasn’t in a tourist area.

If you go snorkeling or scuba diving at Nusa Penida, you can get up close with the gentle manta rays and gigantic ocean sunfish (‘mola mola’), and all kinds of other colorful fish and coral. We’ve also seen sea turtles and dolphins in the waters around Penida.

Best Time To Visit

Nusa Penida has a drier and more sunny climate than mainland Bali, so any month is great for visiting.

The best time to visit Nusa Penida island really just depends on what you’re looking for.

Bali’s rainy season runs from November to April. It’s less crowded during this time, and the rain is mostly at night, but the weather during the day can be hot and humid at 90-95 F (32-35 C).

From May to August, the temps are a lot cooler, and it’s more breezy and sunny. This is the high season so it’s a little more crowded.

Penida is spectacular at any time of the year, but I think the best months for photography are March to May (right after the rainy season ends), as this is when the island is covered with green foliage.

However, if you’re just looking for the nicest weather, May to August are the most comfortable months of the year.

Is Nusa Penida Worth It?

If you’ve kept reading this far and you still aren’t sure whether you should visit Pineda, then the answer is YES, Nusa Penida is definitely worth it!

This island has some of the best natural scenery anywhere in the Bali province, and some of the best views anywhere in Indonesia for that matter. It has great photo spots, cliffs, caves, beaches, hikes, water sports, and more.

There are even lots of nice hotels and restaurants popping up, and it’s becoming easier to get around the island. Overall, it’s well worth crossing the short distance from Bali to Nusa Penida in order to see all of the things this island has to offer.

How Long To Stay

Don’t be a day tripper. There are so many good things to do in Nusa Penida island. You need to spend at least 2 days to see the best highlights, even if you don’t do any snorkeling.

I would try to spend 3 or 4 days in the Nusa islands if possible, but you could easily fill a week, especially if you plan to do snorkeling or scuba diving.  

Nusa Penida Itinerary

Here’s what a sample 4-day itinerary for Nusa Penida could look like:

  • Day 1: West Nusa Penida . Visit Kelingking Beach , Paluang Cliff , Pererenan Cliff , Banah Cliff Point , and Tembeling Beach .
  • Day 2: East Nusa Penida . Visit Diamond Beach , Atuh Beach , Rumah Pohon Treehouse , Teletubbies Hill , and Goa Giri Putri Cave Temple .
  • Day 3: Snorkeling + West Penida . Take a half day snorkeling tour and then continue the land tour, visiting Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach , and Smoke Beach.
  • Day 4: South Nusa Penida . Visit Suwehan Beach , Sekartaji Cliff (or Nyanyad Beach ), Manta Point Overlook , and Crystal Bay .

You can take a look at my full blog post about this Ultimate 4-Day Nusa Penida Itinerary for more detailed information and photos!  

Nusa Penida Hotels

Nusa lembongan & ceningan.

While you’re busy exploring Nusa Penida island, don’t forget there are also two other nice islands located next to it — Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, respectively.

The islands of Lembongan and Ceningan are connected to each other by a colorful yellow bridge, and even though they don’t have the epic cliffs and dramatic scenery of Penida, they’re still worth a visit for their nice hotels , seaside cafes, and laidback atmosphere.

It’s easy to go between the Nusa islands with a short and cheap boat ride. Some people even base themselves in Lembongan while touring Penida.

Where We Stayed

We stayed at Saren Villa on the north coast of Nusa Penida , and paid 240k Rupiah ($15 USD) for a private double room with cold A/C, hot shower, and good WiFi.

This is one of the cheapest options in Penida, and it's in a great location near the best restaurants! We were happy.

Prices may fluctuate from time to time, so just keep an eye out for a good deal.

This is so useful, thank you! We are going 28/29th Dec and wanted to do a private tour whilst we are there, do you have any suggestions? All I can find is day tours from Bali to Nusa Penida but we will already be there. Thank you in advance!

Hi! In that case, you could just book a private driver since you’ll already be on the island. They can take you to some of the best places on the island, or you can suggest places that you’d like to visit. Enjoy!

This looks amazing. I haven’t been here yet but definitely love to go. this is a great article thanks.

Or perhaps you plan to spend a few days on the island and want the full scope of all the best things to do, so be sure to check out my Nusa Penida Travel Guide linked below.

DIY ITINERARY #1

Here is an overview of the DIY Nusa Penida One Day Itinerary #1 

  • Crystal Bay
  • Angels Billabong

CRYSTAL BAY

Crystal Bay Nusa Penida is a palm tree haven and an awesome snorkeling location on the west coast of Nusa Penida Island.

Crystal Bay is one of the best beaches to explore and the perfect spot to begin your DIY Nusa Penida trip!

The drive towards Crystal Bay is an experience in itself, passing through local villages and palm tree lined roads, eventually coming to a dead end on the beachfront.

There are a number of beach shack cafes, traditional temples, a coconut palm tree forest, and colorful umbrellas along the shoreline at Crystal Bay, all of which overlook a gorgeous beach cove and a nearby rocky island.

Just offshore, there is a colorful reef system beneath the surface of Crystal Bay Nusa Penida, a very popular spot for snorkeling with all sorts of fish, turtles, and other sea critters.

ANGELS BILLABONG

Angels Billabong is one of Nusa Penida’s most popular attractions.

This natural infinity pool is framed by rock cliffs and hangs out over the ocean and it’s a must-see location on your day trip to Nusa Penida!

The Angels Billabong can be found on the farmost western tip of Nusa Penida’s coastline.

When you arrive at Angel’s Billabong there is a parking lot on the cliffs you will be asked to pay a parking fee of 10,000 IDR.

There are signposts leading the way down the steps to Angel’s Billabong, so you won’t get lost.

The rocks are quite sharp and rugged getting down into the infinity pool at Angels Billabong, but once you step in, the surface of the rocks under the water is smooth and easy to walk on.

Due to its recent popularity, the best time to visit Angels Billabong is early morning to avoid crowds.

BROKEN BEACH

Broken Beach is one of many awesome locations on the island and it is not to be missed on your DIY day trip Nusa Penida.

A naturally carved-out bridge stretches over turquoise waters that flow in and out of the archway, hence the name Broken Beach.

Broken Beach is located right next to Angels Billabong so you can combine these two locations on the same trip.

Although you can’t go swimming at Broken Beach, it is such an unreal setting in itself. The ocean water flows into a natural bowl that is surrounded by towering cliffs.

You can take a panoramic walk all the way around Broken Beach Bali to several different viewpoints offering incredible views of this hole in the cliff.

Perched on the cliffs at Broken Beach you can also find small warungs for a nasi goreng, morning coffee, or a refreshing coconut!

Have you got travel insurance for your trip?!

We all know accidents can happen and having Heymondo Insurance will save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.

Heymondo offers low-cost Travel Insurance to keep you covered on all your adventures.

KELINGKING BEACH

Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to and it’s the best location for sunset to finish off your one day trip Nusa Penida.

Kelingking Beach, also known as Kelingking Secret Point, is located on the west coast of Nusa Penida Island.

The reason why Kelingking Beach is such a popular location is that the cliffs form the shape of a T-Rex.

The head of the T-Rex can be seen on the left of the bay and the body and tail wrap around to the right.

Access to Kelingking Beach is possible but explore at your own risk.

There are stairs and railings made out of timber that lead down the spine of Keling King to the beach, though don’t completely rely on this and take your time when descending down to the shoreline.

Kelingking Beach has multiple viewpoints around the edge of the cliffs, offering spectacular views up and down the coastline of Nusa Penida.

DIAMOND BEACH

Diamond Beach Nusa Penida is hands down the most amazing beach I have ever been to, and that’s saying something!

A glistening white sand beach surrounded by verdant cliffs and turquoise water, Diamond Beach is a hard-to-beat destination and one of the best places to visit.

When you arrive at the car park you will have to pay a small entrance fee of 10,000 IDR to the parking lot attendant sitting in his booth before making your way down the stairs to Diamond Beach.

The way down to Diamond Beach Penida only takes around ten minutes before emerging on the sandy shoreline.

A small warung resides down on Diamond Beach where you can buy cold refreshments and local dishes such as mie goreng and nasi goreng for as little as $3 to $5.

You can also have a turn on the Diamond Beach Nusa Penida swing which is strung up between two coconut palms down by the beach.

The hike down the ridge takes no more than five or ten minutes to the first viewpoint that overlooks the bay known as Thousand Islands (Pulau Seribu).

Goa Giri Putri Cave is one of Nusa Penida’s most underrated tourist spots but not to be missed.

There is a small car park at the entrance and here you will also be asked to wear a sarong which you can rent for 5,000 IDR and the entrance fee to the temple is 20,000 IDR.

Take the winding staircase midway up the mountain and you’ll be greeted by a man that will bless you with some holy water on the forehead.

I was absolutely jaw-dropped at how insanely huge the Pura Goa Giri Putri cave is, my guess is 300 meters long and 15 meters tall.

We wandered deeper into the Pura Goa Giri Putri cave and stumbled upon a small group of locals sitting in prayer around an altar.

Incense filled the air and we pretty much went unnoticed as we walked around the cave.

Follow the pathway to the end of the Goa Giri Putri cave to a viewpoint of a small village in the lush green mountainside.

You can exit the cave here or head back the same way you came to the parking lot.

DIY ITINERARY #3

Here is an overview of the DIY Nusa Penida One Day Itinerary #3

  • Manta Point Snorkeling
  • Banah Cliff Viewpoint
  • Tembeling Beach & Lagoons
  • Peguyangan Blue Stairs & Waterfall

MANTA POINT SNORKELING

Snorkeling at Manta Point Nusa Penida is one of the most epic experiences you could ever have.

These underwater giants are incredibly humble and to be able to swim with them is a moment you will never forget!

I recommend booking your Manta Point snorkeling tour the day before to secure your spot on the boat. The tour starts between 7:00 am – 8:00 am and finishes around 12:00 pm.

The tour includes all snorkeling equipment and it will stop at three different snorkeling sites – Manta Point, Toya Pakeh Wall, and Crystal Bay.

These majestic creatures are absolutely incredible! They glide effortlessly through the ocean and are really friendly to swim with.

The manta rays at Manta Point can be quite intimidating to begin with due to their body size of up to 5 meters, though you will soon realize they are harmless, humble giants.

Snorkeling at Manta Point is the best way to begin your DIY Nusa Penida trip!

BANAH CLIFF VIEWPOINT

Banah Cliff Nusa is one of the best viewpoints along the southwest coastline of Nusa Penida Island!

There are not just not one but two incredible viewpoints at Banah Cliff.

At the jump-off point to the right is the panoramic view and to the left is the official Banah Cliff.

The panoramic viewpoint at Banah Cliff Nusa Penida faces west and offers extreme views of surrounding cliffs, perched high above the ocean.

On a clear day, you can actually see the tail of the T-Rex at Keling King Beach.

Be very careful when taking photos at Banah Cliff as there is no safety barrier to protect you from falling hundreds of feet to the ground. Know your limits.

The other viewpoint at Banah Cliff faces east and offers an awesome viewpoint of an arched rock island just off the coastline. Again, please watch your step along these rocky cliffs.

TEMBELING BEACH & LAGOONS

Tembeling features a number of cool things to see including pristine white sand beaches, tropical rainforests, natural lagoons, hidden caves, and cliff-jumping spots.

The main attraction at Tembeling Nusa Penida is the freshwater blue lagoon nestled in the Tembeling Forest.

This freshwater natural pool is the perfect spot for a swim on the way down to Tembeling Beach.

You can also discover the hidden cave and secret beach just a short 2-minute walk from the blue lagoon through the Tembeling Forest.

There is also a freshwater jacuzzi pool that the locals have creatively built on the edge of the cliffs.

And of course, there’s Tembeling Beach where a number of tidal pools can be found to take a dip but swimming in the waves here is not recommended.

Full Blog Post → Tembeling Beach & Lagoons

PEGUYANGAN BLUE STAIRS & WATERFALL

Last but not least on your DIY Nusa Penida trip, the ultimate adventure awaits at Peguyangan Waterfall and the Instafamous Blue Stairs.

At the jump-off point for Peguyanngan Waterfall, you will have to pay a small parking fee of 5,000 IDR.

There are 750 blue stairs that are impressively constructed into the side of the cliff giving access to Peguyangan Waterfall.

There are several viewpoints that make for great photo opportunities as you make your way down to Peguyangan Waterfall.

After a 20-minute hike down the blue stairs, you’ll arrive at the sacred water temple that has four waterspouts.

The waterfall itself is not your common 50-meter meter waterfall, like those you will find in  Bali , but rather a waterspout between a crack in a rock where crystal clear water flows out into tiered rock pools and over the cliff edge into the ocean.

NUSA PENIDA ISLAND – FAQ

Here are some quick answers to the most frequently asked questions from first-time visitors.

HOW TO GET TO NUSA PENIDA?

Bali to nusa penida:.

Fast Boats operate daily to Nusa Penida from Sanur Harbor in Southeast Bali. You can book the fast boat online  in advance to guarantee the lowest price.

The fast boat ticket to the Nusa Penida also includes a hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Bali and a drop-off directly to the pier at Sanur Beach Port.

The boat trip takes approximately 45 minutes from Bali to Nusa Penida Island.

NUSA LEMBONGAN TO NUSA PENIDA:

You can also take a boat to Nusa Penida from Nusa Lembongan if you happen to be exploring this island first.

A boat from Nusa Lembongan to Nusa Penida will cost you around 50,000 IDR.

You can organize the boat via your accommodation on Nusa Lembongan or simply head to the main beach port on Lembongan Island and ask one of the boat companies located down on the beachfront.

Alternatively, you can book a Nusa Penida day trip from Nusa Lembongan, and I’ll tell you more in the following sections.

nusa penida boat 2

HOW TO GET AROUND NUSA PENIDA?

Nusa Penida is quite a large island and it can take up to one hour to get from one side of the island to the other.

The best mode of transport to visit all the tourist spots in Nusa Penida is by scooter.

When you arrive at Toya Pakeh harbor in Nusa Penida there are a number of scooter rental shops on the beachfront that will be able to sort you out with some wheels.

I paid 70,000 IDR per day for a scooter rental that came with a full tank of gas so you can expect to pay something around this price.

Be sure to get a helmet as an extra precaution for riding on the roads in Nusa Penida as they are not very well maintained.

CAN YOU TAKE A NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIP FROM ULUWATU?

The ferry from Bali to Nusa Penida departs from Sanur Port , which is in Denpasar, and you’ll have to take a taxi to get there.

However, when joining a day trip to Nusa Penida , transportation is included and you can let the guide know where your hotel is, and they will pick you up, which is so convenient.

This is the best option when it comes to taking a Uluwatu to Nusa Penida day trip.

The same applies to Nusa Dua to Nusa Penida day trip.

COST OF A NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIP

The cost of a Nusa Penida 1 day trip from Bali depends on the option you go for – Let me clarify here below.

NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIP

A day trip around Nusa Penida (whether you choose the Nusa Penida West or Nusa Penida East tour) will cost you about $35 per person, including transportation and the tour guide.

The catch? These tours start in Nusa Penida, so you’ll have to get there from Bali on your own and pay the ferry tickets.

NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIP FROM BALI

On the other hand, when booking an All-inclusive Nusa Penida day trip from Sanur, you can expect to pay around $100 per person.

While this is more expensive, it includes the ferry ticket from Bali and back, lunch, and the entrance fees to all attractions, making it much more worth it if you ask me!

Click here below to see this day trip to Nusa Penida from Nusa Lembongan.

NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIP FROM LEMBONGAN

Nusa Penida day trips from Lembongan cost about $37 per person, including transfers from Lembongan, snorkeling sessions, and a mangrove trip.

Note that, usually, Nusa Penida tours from Lembongan do not include any sightseeing but rather snorkeling only, so keep that in mind.

WHERE TO STAY IN NUSA PENIDA?

Nusa Penida Island has hundreds of accommodations to choose from, so I have narrowed it down to the best places to stay suitable for budget backpackers, luxury travelers, and everyone in between.

See the list of accommodations below that I personally recommend.

LUXURY: MAUA NUSA PENIDA

MAUA is one of the only luxury properties in Nusa Penida which is located on the cliffs near Gamat Bay and boasts stunning ocean views.

Features include a swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, an outdoor terrace, free Wi-Fi, and breakfast is included for all guests.

Perfect for couples with a choice of staying in one of the suite villas or luxury villas.

345326775

MID RANGE: LA ROJA BUNGALOWS

La Roja Bungalows is the most Instagrammable accommodation in Nusa Penida making it the perfect place to stay for couples or friends.

These cute wooden bungalows sleep up to 2 people and feature spacious rooms, a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

There is also an outdoor swimming pool, a shared lounge, and a restaurant with breakfast included for all guests.

3624862 17120614140060238065

BUDGET: NUANSA PENIDA HOSTEL

This is the most popular hostel on the island to accommodate solo backpackers and all other travelers on a budget.

Each bungalow-style dormitory has an ensuite bathroom, private balcony, sofas, personalized wardrobes, and free Wi-Fi.

Nuansa Penida Hostel also has a swimming pool, a restaurant, a mini-mart, and rental scooters available, which is convenient one a Nusa Penida 1 day itinerary.

Detail Trip

west trip nusa penida

Kelingking Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali. This beach is located in Bunga Mekar Village, Nusa Penida District, Klungkung Regency, Bali. The attractiveness of Kelingking Beach makes it a mandatory tour destination when you are on vacation to Nusa Penida.

west trip nusa penida

Paluang Cliff is one of the attractions in the western part of Nusa Penida. Paluang Cliff itself is a hidden spot that allows visitors to be able to see the cliffs/stones in Kelingking Beach from a different perspective. This spot is also one of the best spots to see the sunset because we are immediately presented with views of the open sea without being covered by other objects.

west trip nusa penida

Broken Beach is better known as Pasih Uug by local residents. This beach is a 200 meter high cliff jutting into the ocean. This beautiful beach was created because of the abrasion of sea water for hundreds of years. If you are on vacation to Nusa Penida, you must visit this beach because the beauty of the beach is different from other beaches.

west trip nusa penida

This very famous beach is located in Sakti Village, Nusa Penida District, Klungkung Regency, Bali Province. The word Billabong itself is taken from the English meaning "The end of the dead river. Angel's billabong is the estuary of the river before the water flows into the open sea. Avoid swimming when the sea is rising or in pairs.

west trip nusa penida

Crystal bay beach is a very beautiful white sand beach located in Nusa Penida Bay. Crystal Bay Beach itself is located in the southwest of Nusa Penida Island. The attraction of this beach is that the air from this beach is so clear that it is called crystal. This beach is safe for swimming because on the left and right there are high cliffs.

As you can see from our package name, there are two areas you will explore, the East and West areas.

west trip nusa penida

The first stop is Atuh Beach. This beautiful white sand beach surrounding by tall green limestone cliff is waiting for you to enjoy.

Enjoy this beautiful and unique building. Take several pictures as well. This is one of the best Instaworthy spots you can find in Bali.

west trip nusa penida

Next, we take you to Pulau Seribu. In the Indonesian Language, this means a thousand islands. However, you won’t find many islands in this area. Instead, you can find a viewpoint where you can see the formation of the magnificent island under the cliff. People also call this viewpoint as Bali’s Raja Ampat. You are free to take pictures of the beautiful scenery you see from this viewpoint as much as you want. Once you are done, we have lunch at a local restaurant. Then, move to the next destination, Kelingking Beach.

west trip nusa penida

Kelingking Beach is a beautiful beach located at the bottom of the cliff. This beach also has a nickname as the T-Rex beach, because of the shape of the cliff when you see it from top looks like a dinosaur. So, take a picture when you are at the top of the cliff before climbing down to enjoy this beautiful beach. People also call it the dream beach because the scenery here is so stunning.

west trip nusa penida

The last destination of our Nusa Penida Tour is Crystal Bay. The calm sea around it is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.

Here’s What To Pack On Day Trip To Nusa Penida

H ave you ever seen photos from Bali’s coastline where if you look closely, the water and cliffs resemble a Tyrannosaurus Rex head? Did you ever see images of crystal-clear blue water with a ridge that appears to be shaped like a diamond from the water? These popular destinations are Kelingking Beach and Diamond Beach in Nusa Penida. It’s the largest offshore island in Bali , just southeast of the main island.

Both of these destinations have become popular tourist attractions because of social media and travel influencers. It’s all because the island’s iconic cliff views are unlike anything else in the world. Nusa Penida is one of the “Most Instagrammed” travel destinations. However, people don’t tell you how much work it takes to get these beautiful pictures. 

Everything To Know About Nusa Penida

The tropical climate in Bali means it’s hot and humid year-round with temperatures averaging 87 degrees. As you travel more south of Nusa Penida, it’s relatively drier and hotter than Bali. The only way to get to Nusa Penida is by boat. From there, your local guide will have an itinerary. It varies depending on what part of the island you want to see. You can choose between the eastern side, the western side or a combination of both.

Diamond Beach is located on the eastern side, and Kelingking Beach, known for its T-Rex head image, is on the western side.

Your time in Nusa Penida will be worth it, if you prepare for what’s to come. There’s a lot of hiking and some scary heights. While some people do it, it is recommended that travelers use extreme caution on Diamond Beach. The trek is dangerous for even the most seasoned hiker.

If you are interested in traveling to Nusa Penida, here is everything that you should make sure to pack.

Sun Protective Clothing

Sun-protective clothing is a must during your hikes around Nusa Penida. You will realize that there’s not much shade from the sun, no matter which side of the island you choose to explore.

There are a lot of brands on the market that specialize in clothing that protects your skin against the sun.

Coolibar’s LumaLeo Tank

For women who want to wear something light for hikes, try a Coolibar LumaLeo tank. They come in various colors, so you can choose the aesthetically pleasing ones for your pictures along the rugged trails.

The athleisure cotton tank top is the perfect base for sun wraps or jackets. It is made with UPF 50+ protection. There’s also a higher neckline and an extended tank sleeve for extra protection against the sun.

Coolibar’s Morada T-Shirt

Coolibar’s UPF 50+ Morada Everyday T-shirt for men features the brand’s well-known ZnO fabric. The fabric contains tiny particles of zinc oxide. This ingredient is used to block UVA & UVB in better sunscreens. These ZnO particles don’t wash or wear out.

Similar to the women’s styles, this t-shirt comes in almost a dozen colors. It allows you to pick and choose colors for your next adventure.

FURTALK’s Straw Hat

You don’t have to choose between quality, style and effectiveness with the Furtalk’s Straw Hat.

This beach hat offers high UV UPF sun protection with its full brim and sun blocker function. It is a great hat to wear with a dress or hiking gear. The hat’s foldable design makes it easy to pack in your carry-on or checked-in luggage.

It is available in eight different colors and in various sizes.

Mission Cooling Boonie Hat

There’s much to love about Mission’s cooling boonie hat. It offers protection from the sun for beach, hiking and fishing days. It also comes equipped with laser-perforated mesh panels in the crown to maximize airflow.

The hat protects you from the sun and keeps you cool with its HydroActive cooling fabric.

EleVen by Venus Williams’ Game. Set. Match. Body Lotion

The sun protective clothing isn’t enough. You need to have good sunscreen to apply multiple times throughout the day. Tennis superstar Venus Williams has a sunscreen that’s especially good for darker skin tones. It’s one of the few sunscreens targeted for people of color that offers a higher SPF.

EleVen by Venus Williams Game. Set. Match. Body Lotion SPF 50 is a clean daily-use sunscreen that combines sun protection with skin-calming hydration. The lotion actively works to prevent dry skin and protect it from the sun. It’s formulated to be water and sweat-resistant for 80 minutes, which means it’s perfect for your Nusa Penida adventure.

Be My Green Bag’s Backpack

When it comes to Nusa Penida, a light backpack with a drybag is an excellent option. It will have enough space for you to pack all of your items on your trip. It will also provide a space to keep your sweaty or wet clothes.

The Be My Green Bag’s backpack is lightweight, but has roomy pockets to pack different goods. It has separate dry and wet items. This bag is also rainproof.

DripDrop Hydration Packs

It’s vital to drink water throughout your adventure in Nusa Penida. Heat-related illnesses are common among tourists who are not used to physical activity for extended periods of time outdoors. Dehydration affects 75 percent of people daily. It negatively impacts physical and mental performance. You should take breaks frequently during your travels, but also have a plan to hydrate faster. Items, such as DripDrop hydration packets, are perfect if you begin to experience signs of heat exhaustion.

The packets have a precise ratio of sodium electrolytes, glucose, potassium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin C for maximum immune support.
