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 .

This Nusa Penida travel guide explains both tour types so it will be easier for you to choose from.

West Coast Nusa Penida Tour

The west coast of Penida island has beautiful sights like Angel’s Billabong and Kelingking Beach . Combine this with Crystal Bay, Peguyangan waterfall and Broken Beach to have a day filled with incredible viewpoints and jaw-dropping nature. It’s also possible to book a day tour leaving from Bali in advance.

Tip: It’s also a great option to switch Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong for Tembeling Natural Pool .

Kelingking beach

Kelingking beach is 100% sure the most spectacular place on Nusa Penida. White sand and a piece of land shaped like a dinosaur head. The view from the top is incredible but be prepared if you want to hike down to the beach. This hike down is a 45-minute incredibly steep path.

Angel’s Billabong & Broken Beach

Nusa Penida is full of spectacular shaped locations. Broken Beach is one of them. A 45-minute bumpy ride from KelingKing takes you to this spectacular gate.

A 150-meter walk from Broken Beach is a natural infinity pool where you can dip in and enjoy the clearest water you’ve ever swam in.

Here are all your hotel options in Nusa Penida.

Crystal Bay Nusa Penida

One of the few beaches fully surrounded by palm trees where you can snorkel and relax.

Peguyangan waterfall or Snorkeling with Manta Rays

A 150-meter high iron blue stairs down towards a tiny waterfall, which gives you the most scenic areas and a real test to your fear of heights. Around Nusa Penida are great Manta-Ray snorkeling and diving points. To do this, you would have to stay a little longer or book a day tour dedicated to swimming with Manta Rays.

Tembeling Forest & Beach

For a more unique experience on Nusa Penida, we recommend you to visit Tembeling Natural Pool, forest and beach . Modify your west Nusa Penida tour by removing one of the other things to do on Nusa Penida .

East Coast Nusa Penida Tour

The east coast is a little more untouched. You will visit Atuh and Diamond Beach , Thousand Islands viewpoint, Rumah Pohon Treehouse and you can either choose between the underground temple Giri Putri or Teletubbies Hill.

Diamond and Atuh Beach

Two picture-perfect beaches located very near each other. To get to those beaches you will have to decline via a stair which is quite challenging.

Must read: 3-week Indonesia Route

Price of a Nusa Penida tour

The price of a tour totally depends on what you like to see and the comfort you prefer on Penida Island. A day trip usually takes from 8 AM until 16 PM. Spend one night on Nusa Penida if you like to see both the east and west coast in a Nusa Penida tour. 

Private tour price A private Nusa Penida Tour with driver, car, boat, hotel transfers, and entrance fees usually starts from 750.000 IDR (~50 USD). Split the costs with two to four people and it will be cheaper than a shared van.

A Guide to Touring Nusa Penida

• August 8, 2022

An island adventure doesn’t need to begin and end with Bali. There is a whole archipelago of islands to explore, including the tropical and beautiful Nusa Penida.

Just a hop, skip and a jump from Bali, Nusa Penida is the perfect destination for incredible day trips and long weekends.

The island is jam packed with must-see natural sights, luxurious restaurants and beach clubs to keep you busy.

A tour of Nusa Penida can include hiking, swimming, snorkelling, lounging, and riding the island by motorbike to enjoy every inch of the small 210㎢.

Get ready for some serious wanderlust!

Getting from Bali to Nusa Penida

Start your island adventure off right with a boat trip across the ocean to Nusa Penida.

The main ports of Bali – Sanur, Tanjong Benoa and Padang Bai – all offer the route either by fast boat or public ferry over to Nusa Penida’s Toya Pakeh Harbour.

The fast boat will only take around 45 minutes, while the public ferry can take up to an hour.

Get ready for stunning views of the islands and crashing waves on your way to paradise.

Sanur Beach to Nusa Penida

If you are searching for ease, then Sanur Beach will be the best port for you.

It’s just a short drive from the popular tourist towns, Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta, and has a number of companies operating including Crown Fast Cruise, Mola-Mola Express and El Rey Junior.

Running regularly from 7am through to 5pm, there is a boat to suit every plan.

If you are planning a Nusa Penida day trip, catch the earliest boat possible to make the most of your time on the island. For those planning to enjoy a longer stay, then you have the freedom of a later boat.

Starting from just IDR150,000 (approx. US $10) for a one way ticket, a trip to Nusa Penida can be affordable!

Tanjung Benoa to Nusa Penida

Tanjung Benoa is close to Nusa Dua, and the ideal port for those staying in Uluwatu and Jimbaran.

It only operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and runs once a day – so you need to plan well!

A one way ticket costs around IDR150,000 and can be bought online or at the port, perfect for a last minute trip or long planned getaway.

Start your Nusa Penida tour off on a comfortable and clean boat ride.

Padang Bai to Nusa Penida

Padang Bai is the starting port for the public ferry.

A less fancy option at a fraction of the cost, for those who want the real local experience, this is the best transfer to Nusa Penida for you!

The public ferry is used by local commuters, and those wanting to head over to Nusa Penida with their motorbike.

Costing only IDR35,000 for a one way trip, if you are on a tight budget, it doesn’t mean you need to miss out on a paradise island trip.

Getting Around Nusa Penida

Hop off the boat and jump into your private transport or a hired motorbike.

Much like driving in Bali , Nusa Penida is a motorbike haven with rough terrain and towering hills that can make a beginner anxious.

Unless you are a pro-rider, I would recommend hiring a private driver and car for your stay – it is affordable, safe, and gives you a chance to relax.

Nusa Penida by Motorbike

It’s as easy to hire a motorbike in Nusa Penida as it is in Bali. Show a form of ID and you will be handed the keys to a freedom getaway.

The roads are a lot more rough and ready than the main island, so if you are new to the world of two-wheelers, this isn’t a place to try it out.

There are plenty of places to hire a bike right off the boat. For IDR75,000 (approx. US$ 5) you can put your adventure in your hands, as well as helmets – which must be worn no matter how short the ride.

I recommend filling up the fuel close to the harbour, as stations become far and few between as you head deeper into the island.

Nusa Penida by Rental Car

A Nusa Penida tour by car is much more comfortable and fun, especially if you are travelling with children.

Along with a private local driver, you can explore the landscapes and hotspots of the island with cool air-conditioning and local radio stations.

Look out the windows to bask in the beauty of the island from sprawling fields to tall cliff tops overlooking the ocean.

Up to 10 hours of a private car and driver will cost around IDR950,000 (approx. US$ 65).

You can sit back, relax and enjoy stunning scenery as you visit all of the tourist attractions Nusa Penida is famous for. Sounds perfect to me!

Where to Stay in Nusa Penida

After long days of exploring Nusa Penida, you need a comfortable and cosy spot to rest and unwind. The island is packed with stunning accommodations from hostels to private luxury villas that suit every budget.

Here are some of my favourite places to stay on Nusa Penida .

A Secluded, Idyllic Cottage

House of gubuk paon.

A traditional style home encompassed by rolling hills and lush views, House of Gubuk Paon is located a 20 minute drive from the harbour, close by to Kutampi and Sampalan beaches.

Ideal for those who are looking for a space away from crowds, surrounded by nature and completely private, the home has everything you need from a fully equipped kitchen to a lazy lounge area.

Accommodating up to 6 guests in the 1-bedroom space, House of Gubuk Paon is a perfect escape for a group of friends or family with children.

Cosy up and spend calm evenings after a day of touring Nusa Penida in your own private paradise oasis.

An Ocean View Paradise

Villa victoria.

Villa Victoria is a sprawling tropical haven overlooking the ocean from its cliffside position.

With a huge wooden decking, infinity swimming pool and the option of 1-bedroom or beachfront villas, it is a stunning place to spend a relaxed Nusa Penida trip.

Combining beautiful wooden architecture, furnishings and modern amenities, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

After a day of venturing the island, you can dip into the shared pool or jacuzzi, snuggle up in bed and spend time looking out over the endless turquoise views.

Each villa has a private kitchenette with all the facilities to prepare your morning coffee or evening snack.

Villa Victoria is a spacious and luxurious island resort.

Just a Moment’s Walk from the Beach

Crystal bay villa.

Ideally located just a short walk from the famous Crystal Bay, this resort is a peaceful and beautiful spot to spend a romantic Nusa Penida adventure.

Cosy up with your loved one in one of the quaint poolside bungalows, dine over candle light and explore every inch of the paradise island.

Just 800m from its namesake beach, Crystal Bay Villa has a team of friendly staff who will be on hand to help arrange any extra services or excursions upon request.

Lounge, venture and spend quality time with your loved one, or friends, in this idyllic resort surrounded by towering palm trees.

A Luxury Island Bungalow

Tropical glamping.

A picture-perfect Instagram dream, Tropical Glamping is a bright bungalow paradise with ocean views, lush tropical surroundings and cosy amenities.

A peaceful and serene hideaway, it is a perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring Nusa Penida.

The bed faces out over stunning views to wake up to bright blue skies and turquoise waters, with views as far as the eye can see.

With a thatched roof, en-suite bathroom and outdoor cinema – whether you are looking to spend a quiet stay away from the crowds, or use the bungalow as a base to explore everything the island has to offer, Tropical Glamping is a great option.

Traditional Wooden Bungalow in the Jungle

Tanah damai.

With intricate carvings, a canopy bed and modern facilities, Tanah Damai is immersed in nature, encompassed by jungles and overlooking expansive green views.

Ideal for a romantic retreat or nature-lovers escape, it is located away from the crowds but just a short walk to Gamat Bay.

An eco-friendly and conservational resort, there is no air-conditioning in the bungalow but well-placed air slots to allow for easy ventilation.

For a relaxing and comfortable stay without any harm to the environment, Tanah Damai is a peaceful and tranquil getaway.

Lavish and Modern Villa

The arancia villa.

Featuring from 2 – 4 bedrooms, The Arancia Villa is the height of modern luxury on Nusa Penida.

Situated on the hillside overlooking expansive views, it is a perfect place to bask in the sun and enjoy a calm day.

With a private swimming pool, modern bright bedrooms and homey amenities, you quickly settle in for a stay of a lifetime.

Just a 4 minute drive from Toya Pakeh harbour, close by to all the must-see tourist attractions and a moment from stunning beaches, The Arancia Villa is a central and comfortable base for a Nusa Penida tour trip.

Enjoy all the hotspots of the town with a luxurious and private accommodation to return to.

Types of Tours in Nusa Penida & Must-Visit Spots

Touring Nusa Penida can be done 1 of 3 ways –

• You can take the adventure into your own hands and explore the island yourself
• Hop onboard a fully catered day trip of Nusa Penida that will take you to the highlights of the island before heading back to Bali
• Spend a longer stay visiting each attraction without any rush with a private tour

It depends what kind of traveller you are as to which option will suit you.

Solo travellers and backpackers will love the first option to venture around on their own schedule. Whereas families and couples can enjoy planned out tours – whether a day or longer trip – to make sure they can check off each of the must-see spots.

Nusa Penida Day Trips

Organised day trips to Nusa Penida are a great way to be able to explore the island hitting all the must-see hotspots with a team of pro guides.

The price usually includes all travel and meals so you don’t need to worry about extra costs – other than souvenirs.

For someone on a quick stop-off in Bali, a one-day round trip is a perfect way to not miss out on the paradise island.

Starting around IDR 650,000 (approx. US $45) for a half day tour, there are many operators around Bali and Nusa Penida that have schedules packed with activities and extras.

Nusa Penida Private Tours

If you have some time to kill and want to have an extended Nusa Penida experience, spending a few nights on the island and enjoying private tours is a great way to be able to plan your own itinerary, without getting tired from riding a bike across the rocky roads all day.

With one of the affordable private drivers – as previously mentioned – you can create your own tour of Nusa Penida, hitting all the spots you want to see, along with the suggestions from the local driver.

Sit back and enjoy the landscape from the cool air-conditioning, and spend as much time as you wish at each stop.

It is the perfect middle ground for a more personalised tour. Although slightly more expensive, this is definitely my favourite to explore Nusa Penida.

13 Must-See Spots in Nusa Penida

So, you’ve chosen the type of tour to suit you, now – where do you go?

Here are all the must-see spots on the island including those which are on guided tours, and some hidden gems for travellers venturing off the beaten track.

Broken Beach

On the West coast of Nusa Penida, Broken Beach is one of the island’s most famous, and stunning, spots.

The little cove is encompassed with a sprawling cliffside that gives way to a completely natural and beautiful archway.

Allowing the ocean to flow in and out of the cove, the archway is picturesque and not to be missed. You can bask in awe of the wonders of nature from the cliffside view point.

Angel’s Billabong

Neighbouring Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong needs some careful planning before you visit – although travelling with a planned tour will have this figured out for you.

Depending on the high or low tide will determine what view you get from this incredible scenic attraction.

For the best views, head here early to catch low tide – around 8am!

But be aware, the attraction is incredibly popular and can get busy quickly.

Devil’s Billabong

What’s an angel without a devil? Hanging on another shoulder of Nusa Penida is Devil’s Billabong.

A cove of crashing waves, sharp rocks and crystal clear water, head here to catch some incredible pictures of the waves smashing the rocks and to get away from the regular tourist crowd.

Kelingking Beach

Known as Secret Point or T-Rex Beach, Kelingking Beach is the one tour stop-off point that companies use to lure in guests.

A Nusa Penida star, rightfully so, if you are heading out on a solo tour, make sure this is on the list.

The walk down the cliffside to the beach is dotted with magnificent viewpoints that offer a perfect picture, but heed the warnings.

A bamboo rail is all that separates the pathway from the cliff’s edge, you should remain vigilant and careful on your way down the cliff.

Once your toes plant into the brilliant white sand, the trek down is totally worth it.

Crystal Bay Beach

Crystal Bay Beach is the hotspot beach of the island with some of the best sunset views.

A starting point for snorkelling and diving tours, the white sand paradise is just 30 minutes from the harbour.

Lined with stalls, warungs and shops, it is an ideal place to spend a day on the sand relaxing.

Not only are the white sands and turquoise waters beautiful, you can snorkel right off the beach above the coral reef. Stunning!

Diamond Beach

The staircase leading you down to Diamond Beach gives you outstanding views of the cliff side, white sand and crystal blue waters.

Taking only minutes to get down, it is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island for a relaxing day in the sun.

Rarely found on Nusa Penida tour itineraries, this is a spot to check out for when you have some downtime to unwind.

A real tropical island oasis, Atuh Beach is the stuff of dreams.

A 10-minute walk down the cliffside will lead you past jungle viewpoints overlooking the stunning landscape until you reach the perfectly white sand.

Atuh Beach features its own beautiful natural archway that is magically aligned for majestic sunrise views – take note photographers!

Teletubbies Hill

We all know the iconic rolling hills of the Teletubbies – if you don’t, don’t tell me, I’ll feel old.

As the name suggests, this must-see spot in Nusa Penida is luscious, sprawling and unique.

It’s best to explore the vast hill formation by foot so you can stop to take pictures, look out over expansive views of Nusa Penida and enjoy the incredible scenery.

Included in 2 day tours, I love this spot on the island – even if for nostalgia.

Tembeling Natural Pool

Tembeling Natural Pool is an island hidden gem located down a rocky and rough road.

Off the beaten path, it is a spot for backpackers and adventurers to explore.

After a tough drive – not recommended for beginners – you will take a 30-minute hike down to the pools.

Encompassed with jungles, dotted with statues and fountains and etched into the surrounding stone cliffs, it is a romantic and idyllic utopia.

Manta Point

It’s time for us to head under the water.

Manta Point can be organised as its own Nusa Penida diving tour starting in Bali and heading back right after the dive is done, it can also be part of an island based adventure as part of a longer stay.

Spreading to a huge 5m in length, Manta Rays are not dangerous but can be incredibly intimidating. That being said, if you are a confident diver, this is an experience that should be at the top of your list.

Dip into the cool ocean waters right off the boat, and swim with the gentle giants in their own natural habitat.

Banah Cliff Point

Towering above the ocean overlooking panoramic West-facing views, Banah Cliff Point is one of the best places to catch a Nusa Penida sunset.

A still relatively quiet spot, it is a beautiful place to take some tropical pictures and watch the sun dip into the horizon.

Watch out on the rocky cliff edge as there is no safety barrier!

Thousand Island Viewpoint

There are numerous viewpoints along the Thousand Island cliff side.

Looking out over jutting rocks from the ocean and the coast of Nusa Penida, it is a stunning place to take in tropical landscapes and the paradise setting.

Peguyangan Waterfall

Peguyangan Waterfall is a sacred site on Nusa Penida that the locals use as a place for water rituals and blessings.

After venturing down the blue staircase hugging the cliffside, you will reach the ‘spouts’.

Each has a different meaning and you must shower under each to be fully blessed and cleansed. Dotted with spiritual shrines it is a place of healing.

The oceanfront spot has small fresh water pools that look out over the ocean for a relaxing and truly blissful experience.

If you have the time, Peguyangan Waterfall is definitely worth a visit.

3-Day Tour Itinerary for Nusa Penida

Now you know all the spots to hit, here is our suggested tour itinerary for a 3-day adventure around Nusa Penida .

The best way to tackle the island, and make sure you visit all the must-see spots, is to break the island into areas – East and West.

Day One in Nusa Penida

• Take the first boat over from Bali to make the most of the day. The trips start at 8am landing you on Nusa Penida early to start your adventure.
• Grab a rental bike or hop into your private car – I prefer touring with a car as it makes things easy. It also means you can get a head start on your tour without having to stop to drop off big luggage.
• First stop –  Gamat Bay . Whether you fancy dipping into the water right away, or just enjoying the view over the ocean, Gamat Bay is a great first stop to initiate your Nusa Penida tour.
• Devil’s Billabong Get some beautiful pictures of the angry waters crashing over the impressive rocks.
• Angel’s Billabong You may have missed low tide, but Angel’s Billabong still provides some incredible views.
• Broken Beach This is another viewpoint where you can capture some beautiful pictures of the Nusa Penida landscape with the naturally made archway.
• Kelingking Beach This stop off will be dependent on your timings as you don’t want to be hiking the trail in the hot midday sun. Try to head here before it gets too hot, or after the midday hours to avoid heat exhaustion. Then spend the rest of your day relaxing on the sand.
• Banah Cliff Point Finally, your first day on the island should be memorable, which means a stunning sunset view from the Banah Cliff Point.

Day Two in Nusa Penida

• Tembeling Beach, Forest and Natural Pools Today is adventure day, and it starts off strong with an adventure into the jungle to find majestic natural pools.
• Peguyangan Waterfall Next up, we are gonna connect with the spiritual side of Nusa Penida and cleanse in the waterfall and dip into the rock pools.
• Manta Point For the divers among us, you can skip those 2 spots and spend the day out in the ocean playing with the manta rays.
• Teletubbies Hill End the day in-land on teletubbies hill overlooking the expanse of the island as the sunsets.

Day Three in Nusa Penida

• Sunrise at Atuh Beach Wake up early for your last day in paradise and watch a stunning sunrise at Atuh Beach
• Thousand Island Viewpoint Look out over the landscape from Thousand Island Viewpoint and Rumah Pohon
• Diamond Beach Spend some time relaxing around Diamond Beach – well deserved after battling the stairs!
• Make the scenic drive back to the harbour Drive through the jungles, palm trees and hills to reach the harbour to head back over to Bali.

Don’t hold me to this itinerary. I can’t promise it will be better than the professionally curated tours of Nusa Penida, however, it is an efficient way to explore the island from West to East.

And, there are plenty of stops in-between to check out!

Final Thoughts

There you go! Everything you should and need to know about touring Nusa Penida.

Whether you decide to sign up for an all-inclusive package tour of Nusa Penida, or create your own itinerary – even follow mine – the paradise island awaits your adventure.

From West to East, the island is packed with must-see spots, stunning natural sights and tropical beaches that you’ve only previously dreamed of.

Now you have all the information, start booking your Nusa Penida trip!

The Best Nusa Penida Day-Trip from Bali

Jackson Groves

Posted on Last updated: July 5, 2023

Categories INDONESIA

Nusa Penida is the biggest of the three Nusa Islands (and most epic), located just off from mainland Bali. BUT did you know it’s only a 30-minute boat trip from the Sanur Harbor in Bali so it’s VERY easy to reach quickly for a Nusa Penida day trip if you are staying in Canggu, Seminyak, or Kuta. There are so many awesome things to do on Nusa Penida Island and there are two main different Nusa Penida day trip tours I suggest you look at.

Table of Contents

The Best Nusa Penida Day-Trips from Bali

In this blog post, I’m going to detail the two most popular Nusa Penida day trips from Bali. The first option is the Manta Ray Snorkel Tour . It’s honestly the most amazing experience to swim with gentle Giant Manta Rays. The tour takes you from Bali to Penida to snorkel with mantas but also to snorkel at other locations where you will find beautiful corals and even spot turtles. The second tour is the BEST of Nusa Penida Day Tour , which basically takes you to all of the most iconic viewpoints and beaches on Nusa Penida in one day.

BEST NUSA PENIDA TOURS!

These are the four most popular Nusa Penida Tours. I’ve done all four and they are AWESOME !

• Manta Ray Snorkel Tour (from Bali) – Most amazing experience to swim with Giant Manta’s.
• Manta Ray Snorkel Tour (from Penida) This is the cheaper option if already on Nusa Penida.
• BEST of Nusa Penida Day Tour (from Bali) Most booked day trip fro Bali to Penida with all highlights
• Nusa Penida Car Rental with Driver : Great way to see all the highlights and tourist spots.

BEST NUSA PENIDA DAY TOURS

If you are staying in Bali.. take a day trip on a speedboat to explore the highlights of Nusa Penida. It takes just 35 minutes to get from Bali to Nusa Penida by speed boat. Yep, in just one day you can snorkel with Manta rays and visit lots of the best beaches and viewpoints.

Manta Ray Snorkeling Tour

Manta Ray Nusa Penida Tour (from Bali): Snorkeling with Manta Rays is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one of the best wildlife encounters I’ve had in my life. The Manta Rays are majestic and very friendly. With a wingspan of 5m, these gentle giants cruise around you while you snorkel amongst them. The Nusa Penida Manta Ray Snorkel Tour includes pick up and drop off from your hotel in Bali and all transport and tickets included.

Nusa Penida Highlights Tour

Nusa Penida Highlights Tour : Get picked-up from your Bali hotel, take a 35-minute fast boat to Nusa Penida and then visit the most popular viewpoints, beaches and snorkel spots on the island. This small Nusa Penida Highlights Tour group tour is the most highly reviewed day trip for Nusa Penida Island. You’ll visit all the most popular spots and can request certain viewpoints on your itinerary. Places you will visit are sites like the ones listed below:

Angel’s Billabong

• Kelingking T-Rex Beach

Broken Beach

• Rumah Pohon Treehouse
• Snorkeling at Crystal Bay
• Thousand Island Viewpoint

Okay, that was a the brief overview of the two tours I will detail in this article. Below, I’m going to go into the exact details of what each tour involves as I have personally done them both!

Nusa Penida Day Trip – Snorkeling with Manta Rays

This is a tour you simply cannot afford to pass on. I know for some people they are on a budget in Bali or they prefer not to book tours but I guarantee you, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to float around with Giant Manta Rays.

• Swim with the massive reef manta rays of Nusa Penida
• Visit Crystal Bay, Atuh Beach, Diamond Beach
• Snorkel in scenic spots around Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan
• Enjoy a delicious beachside lunch overlooking a white sand beach
• Explore some of the most diverse reefs on the planet

CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR TOUR: Manta Ray Snorkeling Tour

The tour includes lunch, and several other snorkeling spots near Manta Point where you can see turtles, corals and tropical fish. You’ll also cruise through a few beaches on top of the Manta Point snorkel.

As soon as we plunged into the water, we found ourselves looking directly at a huge Manta Ray, one of the most impressive beings of the sea. It was completely surprising, I assumed we’d be hanging around waiting for them. More than five of these Manta Rays were making repeated circuits in the bay, delighting the cluster of snorkelers. Unlike turtles or fish that tend to swim away at the presence of humans, the Manta Rays were consistently interactive, circling back time and again. They would often approach you directly and then quickly swerve off to one side at the very last moment.

Manta Ray Snorkel Tour

• Fast-boat from Bali
• Pick-up Included
• Lunch Included

Snorkeling with Manta Rays Availability

You can use this calendar below to see the availability of tours. It’s important to book this tour in advance during high season as it can be a very popular activity on Nusa Penida and they try and limit the number of boats in the water.

Gamat Bay Snorkeling

As part of the Manta Ray Snorkeling tour , you will get to snorkel at Gamat Bay aswell. We jumped off the boat, and immediately realized the water at Gamat Bay is much colder than at Manta Point and Crystal Bay. I’m not sure why that is. The second thing we noticed was the incredible coral structures and rock formations beneath the surface. The depth ranged from a few meters closer to shore all the way down to perfect free-diving depth of 5-20 meters.

Our guide told us this is where you can see a turtle if you are lucky. We looked long and hard and finally, we found a turtle who let us chill near him for ten minutes as he went about his business. The water clarity at Gamat was perfect!

BEST of Nusa Penida Tour: Epic Day Trip

This BEST of Nusa Penida Day Tour from Bali via fast-boat is the best way to see Nusa Penida in just one day. The itinerary looks like the following:

• Hotel pickup by car
• Fast-boat to Nusa Penida
• 4-5 Sightseeing spots on Nusa Penida
• Fast-boat to Bali
• Hotel drop-off by car

The BEST of Nusa Penida Day Tour is the most convenient way to see Nusa Penida in just one day. There are three set spots on the itinerary but you can customize the schedule and spots to visit by discussing with the tour guide and tour company, which is quite important. You may have some bucketvlist items that you want to guarantee that you see so just discuss that in advance and they will make it happen!

Below I’m going to detail each of the spots on the itinerary and/or those spots you can add to the itinerary by customizing it!

Atuh Beach is one of the most picturesque and beautiful beaches on Nusa Penida, an island off the southeastern coast of Bali, Indonesia. It’s s a stunning white sand beach surrounded by the huge cliffs and remarkable rock formations. An arch sits directly out from the shore while several islets string off in the distance.

Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach, found on the far eastern edge of Nusa Penida Island in Indonesia, is famous for its incredible natural scenery. The beach showcases an extraordinary setting marked by clean white sands, transparent turquoise waters, and high cliffs. The beach’s distinct rock structures, which look like shining diamonds, give this beach its unique name. A carved staircase descending the cliffs allows entry to the beach, presenting stunning wide-angle views on the way down.

But the key feature here is the rock shaped like a diamond in the shallow waters. After all, I think this diamond-like rock is what gives the beach its name.

Nusa Penida Treehouse (Rumah Pohon)

The Tree House (Rumah Pohon) on  Nusa Penida  has become something of an iconic spot. It is perched up on the mountain at Thousand Island (Pulau Seribu) viewpoint near Atuh Beach.

It is part of the Thousand Island viewpoint area costing only 10,000 rupiah to park and enter, which is less than $1 USD. The best part about this treehouse is that it is actually a house and you can rent it out for pretty cheap considering how popular this spot has become and how insane the view is.

Teletubbies Hill

Teletubbies Hill is a great spot to understand just how diverse the landscapes are on Nusa Penida and it was incredibly interesting flying the drone here scoping out all the different contours, valleys and canyons in this region.

Angel’s Billabong is one of the magical spots to visit on Nusa Penida. A crystal clear tide pool cascades into the ocean on the east coast of Nusa Penida. Angel’s Billabong is an enchanting natural wonder located on the island of Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. This unique rock formation, nestled on the island’s southwestern coast, forms a tranquil natural infinity pool that overlooks the vast Indian Ocean. During low tide, the pool’s crystal clear water provides a safe and serene spot for swimming, revealing a mesmerizing underwater world.

Broken Beach is an incredible little cove on Nusa Penida island. The highlight of the cove and the reason it is called Broken Beach is due to the archway that wraps around the bay allowing water to flow in and out from the ocean. Broken Beach is also one of the spots on the  Ultimate Nusa Penida Day Trip Tour from Bali .

The arch at Broken Beach has been formed over many, many years and is now a true spectacle. From above the cove appears almost circular and closed in, however, at eye level the arch is quite high.

Kelingking Beach

The Instagram famous coastal cliffscape, which truly does look like a T-rex doesn’t disappoint. I still remember the moment I laid eyes on Kelingking Beach. I watched the crystal clear water slowly form into a wave before crashing below us, in what seemed like slow motion.

Nusa Penida has so many amazing views making it hard to pick ‘the best one’. But when the cliffs form in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex at Kelingking Beach it is bound to be a crowd favorite. Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida is one of the MOST epic spots in all of Indonesia and worth voyaging out to visit from Bali.

Read the full blog post:   Kelingking Secret Point Beach

Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay is probably the most popular beach on Nusa Penida for a number of reasons. It is the best sunset beach, facing directly west. This alone makes it a winner for people trying to have a sunset beer and watch the sun go down.

It’s also the jump-off spot for snorkel tours and is only a 30-minute drive from the main port, Toyapakeh. Most importantly, unlike many of the crazy beaches on Penida, you can snorkel and swim with relaxing conditions.

Of course, if you have more time than just a day trip you can check out my blog post about my 27 favorite things to do on Nusa Penida and enjoy exploring the island.

TOP 3 PLACES TO STAY ON NUSA PENIDA

I’ve written a massive, detailed guide about the Best Places To Stay on Nusa Penida …. BUT If you just want me three favorites right now, here they are!

• My TOP Pick: Atalaya Villas – Bungalow Style, Beautiful Palm Trees, Great Location.
• Beach Bungalow: Santen Bungalows – Stay on the beach, Best Value for Money
• Luxury: Nay Palad Hideaway – Oceanfront, Beach Access, Beautiful Pool

How to get to the Nusa Islands

There are three main options to get to Nusa Penida depending on your budget and how many logistics you want to manage. Here are the three options with the cheapest first:

• Book your ticket:   Sanur (Bali) to Nusa Lembongan – Book a regular ferry that leaves from Sanur to Nusa Penida on the reliable website 12go . You then need to moped or taxi across to Nusa Penida via another ferry/boat.
• Book a fast boat: Sanur (Bali) to Nusa Penida – This option is great as you go direct from Bali to Penida without having to stop in Lembongan. This option is only slightly more expensive than stopping in Lembongan. This is my favorite option of the three and can be booked on Klook .
• Book a fast boat with hotel pick-up: Sanur (Bali) to Nusa Penida – This option includes a fast boat from Sanur (Bali) to Nusa Penida but also includes pick-up from your hotel in Bali in a van. This option from GetYourGuide is a bit more expensive but takes all the hassle out of the transit from Bali to Nusa Penida.

We couldn't fault our 3 day Nusa Penida experience with BaliTripMate Our lovely driver Diky picked us up from our hotel to catch a speed boat from Sanur to Nusa Penida. On arriving, we were greeted by our amazing Nusa Penida driver Kadek. BaliTripMate's exceptional itinerary included the incredible sights of the lesser known of Nusa Penida Island. We visited Kelingking Beach, Angel's Billabong, Broken Beach, Diamond Beach, Peguyanan and Tembeling Waterfalls, Goa Giri Putri Temple and Crystal Bay stopping for lunches at a local restaurants. Kadek was punctual to pick us up from our hotel and assisted in recommending times to start the day to best avoid larger crowds and take photos with the best position of the sun. Kadek made the trip fantastic. He was friendly, talkative, knowledgable and took amazing pictures of us - everything was seamless and we never felt rushed or pressured. Kadek was even kind enough to buy us traditional local meal to try for breakfast. Both Riki and Kadek went to great lengths to provide us with a memorable and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend a trip to Nusa Penida to explore the beautiful island and contacting Riki and the team at BaliTripMate for support planning your itinerary.

I went as a solo traveler and had a great time on all the tours, water sports was the best of all. This tour does include most of the sites and culture in 7 days. Putu the owner is very helpful if there are any changes and he is readily available if u need him, he was quick in responding to my queries, my flight was an hour late on arrival and he patiently waited to pick me up, he even contacted the hotel for late checkout and i didn't pay xtra since my flight was in the evening and i needed more time at the hotel, that was very helpful, very trustworthy too. I was the only one on my tour, there was a lot of flexibility in doing xtra tours(self pay) if i wanted too. Food options were mostly good, there were a couple lunch locations that i wasnt too fond of, that was my only drawback for this tour, overall a great experience. Thankyou Putu and team fo ur hard work.

What people love about nusa penida tours.

I loved my wanderlands tour, it gave me so many amazing experiences and helped me connect with myself in a deeper way. I was in a spot in life where I needed something to change. I’m so lucky to have had my group leader as Stacia. She was so welcoming and since she’s a local, it gave a more authentic feel to Bali and the culture around it. I loved learning from her and having her guide me through this tour! She made me feel comfortable, safe and excited for our next day! I really appreciated how organized and on time she kept our group. The itinerary kept me busy and happy! I loved the events like snorkelling and hikes. I was also able to connect with myself on a more spiritual level too, Bali is the place for that. ❤️ One of my best friends came on the tour before me and told me it was a MUST and that booking my tour with Stacia, was also a MUST. He was definitely right and I agree with him completely! The group members are also amazing, being with like minded people and people who are close to my age. The hostels were all great and the food hasn’t let me down!

This tour was action packed and our tour guide Ali was the best The standard of hotels were good and I got to see more of Bali than I would if I organised it myself. Now I've ticked it off I know exactly where to go on my next trip I would recommend ? Ali made sure we were always having fun and kept the energy up on the longer journeys.. he also made sure to document our trip which was a lovely bonus ! If you are a solo traveller take the jump.. Bali is incredible and I was lucky to be travelling with a lovely set of girls :)

The island is as stunning as it appears in pictures and is everything you could hope for. You will have a great time exploring Nusa Penida if you have a sense of adventure. Hiring a reputable guide is one thing you can do to ensure the safety and smoothness of your trip.

Some of the places to visit in Canggu are:

• La Laguna Gypsy Market

3-Day Trip to Nusa Penida, Indonesia: A Perfect Tour Itinerary

• Facebook 18

Nusa Penida is a gorgeous, mostly undeveloped island just 30 minutes off the eastern coast of Bali in Indonesia . And unlike Bali, you won’t find hundreds of yoga studios or organic cafes there. Just miles of spectacular cliffs towering over the ocean, exhilarating hiking adventures, white sand beaches, and the friendliest locals.

And while it is possible to do a day trip to Nusa Penida from Bali, that is certainly not the best way to explore this amazing island. We would recommend that you leave your heavy luggage at your hotel in Bali, pack a small bag, and spend at least three days touring the island by motorbike. You’ll stay in different hotels each night and love the freedom that you get from the open road!

Don’t forget to check out our web story: 3-Day Trip to Nusa Penida, Indonesia

Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase or booking through one of our links we may earn a small commission (don’t worry, it’s at no extra cost to you).

Know Before You Go

• The currency in Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and at the time of writing, the exchange rate was 14,294 IDR to $1 USD. So if we say something costs 10,000 IDR, that’s less than a dollar.
• Be sure to get money out of the ATM before leaving Bali. Only a few of the ATMs in Nusa Penida accept foreign cards and they often run out of money or simply don’t work.
• The roads are terrible! If you’ve never driven a motorbike before, this probably isn’t the best place to learn.
• Driving everywhere on Nusa Penida takes longer than expected. A 3-4 mile trip can easily take 30 minutes to an hour depending on the weather and road conditions. Leave yourself plenty of extra time so you don’t get caught driving long distances on your motorbike after dark.
• Both men and women must wear sarongs to enter temples on Nusa Penida Island. While some have sarongs that you can borrow, others do not. It’s worth bringing something that you can tie around your waist, just in case.
• Check out our complete list of things to know before you visit Nusa Penida !

What to Pack for Nusa Penida

Since you’ll be touring the island on a motorbike, you’ll just want to bring a small backpack that is comfortable to wear all day.

• Swimsuit and coverup
• Tennis shoes
• Quick-dry towel
• Socks and underwear
• Compact camera and/or GoPro Camera

If rain is in the forecast during your visit, we’d recommend bringing one extra change of clothes and keeping it in a ziplock bag. We were drenched at the end of every day from the rain or the ocean, and since nothing ever dries in the humid climate all of our clothes were soggy for the entire trip.

Getting to Nusa Penida Island

Ferries depart from the Sanur Pier on the eastern coast of Bali. This is about 30-45 minutes from Kuta, 1 hour from Seminyak, and 1-1.5 hours from Canggu , and 2 hours from either Ubud or Uluwatu. It’s not far but traffic on Bali can be terrible so leave yourself plenty of time to get to Sanur before your boat’s scheduled departure.

The ferry trip from Sanur Bali to Nusa Penida takes just 45 minutes and will cost anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000 IDR per person depending on who sells you the ticket and how hard you bargain. Ferries depart frequently throughout the day so if you’re traveling during the low season, it’s easy to show up at the pier and just buy a ticket for the next departure.

During high season you should book your ferry well in advance as they occasionally sell out for weeks at a time. We recommend doing it online at Bookaway.com . There you can see all of the fast ferry routes and schedules as well as compare prices.

Check Fast Ferry Schedule & Ticket Prices

Motorbike Basics

As soon as you arrive at the pier on Nusa Penida, you’ll be approached by men offering to rent you a bike right there. And if you head to the main street just one block over, there are several small shops renting motorbikes as well. Expect to pay around 70,000 IDR per day.

It doesn’t really matter where you rent your bike from as long as it is in good condition. You’re going to be riding on some rough roads in remote parts of the island so you definitely don’t want to have your motorbike break down on Nusa Penida!

Be sure to check the following prior to committing to a bike:

• Make sure both brakes work well as there are a lot of hills on the island.
• Check the shocks – you’re going to have a bumpy ride!
• Take photos of any existing damage, just in case.
• Fill up on gas before you set out.
• There are small shops all over the island that sell petrol but you won’t use it much as you’ll be covering very small distances.

We had great luck with our bike from Double-G Guesthouse , they clearly keep their rentals in good condition.

Complete 3-Day Itinerary for Nusa Penida Island in Indonesia

Day 1: angel’s billabong, broken beach, and crystal bay.

You’re going to have a lot of activities over the next three days so we would recommend catching an early ferry from Bali to Nusa Penida Island. As mentioned previously, you can rent a motorbike from one of the entrepreneurs hanging out at the pier or head one street over and shop around for a good bargain on a motorbike rental.

Once you have your bike and a full tank of gas, it’s time to begin your tour of Nusa Penida! Head south towards Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach . Be careful while driving on this road because it gets a lot of vehicle traffic from the day tours of the island and the cars don’t leave a lot of room for motorbikes to get by. You may want to pull off to the side if you see a line of them heading your way.

The road to Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach is the worst on the entire island so plan for a bumpy ride. Not only is the road badly damaged, but because of the long distance, you must drive on the rutted, rocky road.

Angel’s Billabong

When you arrive at Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach, you’ll need to pay the entrance fee of 5,000 IDR per person and 1,000 IDR for motorbike parking. There are several small restaurants here if you want to have a snack or rest with an ice-cold beverage before continuing on your tour. Be aware that this is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island so expect to encounter crowds.

Angel’s Billabong is a small swimming hole with gorgeous, turquoise water that overlooks the ocean. It is surrounded by high rocks so you can enjoy the view from above. It’s one of the most beautiful spots on Nusa Penida.

Swimming here is only allowed right at low tide and is roped off when it is deemed unsafe by the “lifeguard” on duty. There have been incidents of unsuspecting tourists getting swept out to sea by a particularly large sneaker wave here so safety is a priority. Be sure to check the tide report prior to visiting as swimming here is absolutely amazing!

Broken Beach

Broken Beach is essentially a beach that is completely surrounded by cliff walls; a natural sea arch allows water to flow through. You can walk the loop trail high above the enclosed beach area and see the spectacular views from all angles. There are even several platforms that you can stand on to best capture a photo.

Your final stop for the day is Crystal Bay . It’s only a little over 11 miles from Angel’s Billabong, but it will take you about an hour to drive back over that terrible, bumpy road you just came down!

Crystal Bay

The water in Crystal Bay is calm and it’s perfect for snorkeling. You can rent snorkel gear on the beach for 50,000 IDR to see the coral. Or you can just relax on the beach with an ice-cold Bintang in hand. There are numerous small warungs lining the beach that serve food and drinks.

If you have an extra day on Nusa Penida, you can also sign onto one of the daily diving/snorkeling trips to Manta Point where you can swim with giant manta rays (more about that below).

Be sure to watch the sunset on the beach at Crystal Bay, the sun sets behind the huge rock in the middle of the bay and it’s absolutely magical. You’ll be happy if you’re staying nearby so you don’t have to worry about driving after dark!

Where to Stay: Puri Penida Cottage is just a short, 5-minute walk from the bay. Each darling little bungalow has a large, comfortable bed and air conditioning to keep you cool in the heat.

Day 2: Kelingking Beach and Tembeling Beach

From Angel’s Billabong and Broken Beach, you’ll have a 30-minute ride to Kelingking Beach . This is the most famous location on Nusa Penida due to the fact that the peninsula jutting out into the ocean resembles a T-Rex when viewed from the right angle. This is also a very touristy spot, but most visitors simply snap a few photos from the lookout at the top and don’t actually hike down to the beautiful beach below.

Kelingking Beach

Again, you’ll pay 5,000 IDR per person to enter the area and 1,000 IDR to park your motorbike. You’ll walk past a few small restaurants to the beginning of the stairway where views of the T-Rex will start to come into view. This is where the crowds gather. Keep walking down to where the actual trail begins and you’ll start to see fewer and fewer people.

The trail to Kelingking Beach follows the ridgeline of the peak and then takes an abrupt right turn for an even steeper descent down the mountain. It takes about 45 minutes to descend, and an hour to hike back up. You’ll most certainly want tennis shoes here as the trail is very steep and rocky. And while there are railings for most of the hike, there are times you’ll need to do some rock scrambling. And the railings get less sturdy toward the bottom of the hike.

But once you reach Kelingking Beach, you’ll know it was all worth it! Here you’ll find a beautiful and secluded white sand beach, where only the most dedicated visitors are lounging. There is one small stand where you can purchase drinks or snacks but be sure to bring your own water, just in case it’s closed. The waves here are intense so be careful.

Your next stop is Tembeling Beach and Forest which is just over four miles away from Kelingking Beach and should take about 40 minutes on your motorbike. If you want to stop for lunch on your way there, we recommend heading inland to Warung D’Coconut . It’s a little bit out of your way but the food is excellent!

Tembeling Beach

Once you reach the turnoff for Tembeling Beach, it’s about 1.85 miles down a steep paved lane just wide enough for one motorbike at a time. It’s a total forest surrounding you the whole way and there’s a steep drop-off on one side. But the vegetation is so thick you probably won’t even notice how far the drop really is.

If you’re touring Nusa Penida by car or you don’t feel comfortable navigating such a steep road on your own motorbike, you can hire a motorbike taxi driver to take you down to Tembeling Beach. There are a handful of drivers that wait at the turnoff from the main road. The going seems to be 50,000 INR for the round-trip journey plus some wait time at the bottom.

Once you arrive at the parking lot for Tembeling Beach, you’ll still need to descend a set of steep steps down to the beach. It’s just about a 10-minute walk to the beach at the bottom. There are two freshwater swimming holes here, one about halfway down, and one that overlooks the ocean. It’s so refreshing to cool off in the calm water, without getting salty or sandy from the beach.

If you do want to enjoy the beach here, it is small but incredibly beautiful. Enclosed by tall cliff walls with large rocks on either side. It feels totally secluded and you’re likely to see more locals than foreigners here. In fact, this was our favorite spot on the whole island of Nusa Penida!

There is a small swing set here and usually a lady selling drinks and snacks. You’ll want to spend at least an hour here soaking in the pools and enjoying the ocean view.

Our favorite place to stay on Nusa Penida is The Mesare Resort ; just 7 miles from Tembeling Beach. After a long day of climbing stairs, you’ll definitely want to have an ice-cold beer while swimming in their lovely pool. Plus, you’ll have the best night’s sleep in their massive and luxurious beds!

Where to Stay: The Mesare Resort is one of the best hotels on the whole island. Offering super comfortable beds, luxurious outdoor showers, and daily yoga sessions, you’ll have a hard time leaving this little piece of paradise.

If you’re on a tight budget, Agasta Villa is just another great option in the area though you’ll have to do a little backtracking. The bungalows are brand new, with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and a hot shower!

Where to Eat: Warung D’Coconut is a great stop for lunch, although a bit pricier than many of the warungs on the island. Be sure to try the calamari and the gado-gado! You can also eat dinner there if you’re staying at Holy Hill Villa.

Day 3: Peguyangan Waterfall, Diamond Beach, and Atuh Beach

You’ll want to get an early start again today especially if you’re hoping to catch a ferry back to Bali in the afternoon. Your first stop is Peguyangan Waterfall . It’s four miles from The Mesare Resort and should take you about 30 minutes to drive there.

Peguyangan Waterfall

You’ll need to pay 5,000 IDR to park your motorbike and 10,000 IDR per person to rent a sarong. Both men and women need to wear sarongs here as there is a sacred temple at the bottom.

You may have seen photos of Peguyangan Waterfall’s famous blue stairs that cling to the side of a cliff wall and lead down to the ocean below. This hike is intense and not for anyone who is afraid of heights. Some of the stairs are concrete, but others are blue metal slats where you can see through to the ocean far, far below your feet.

When you reach the bottom there is a small temple. And past that you’ll see a sign for a “bathing area”. The steps down to the bathing area are slippery so be careful here. At the base of the stairs are several man-made pools that catch the spring water from the mountain. Here you can relax and enjoy the waves crashing into the rocks below you. If you’re wondering why it’s called a waterfall, you’ll notice a small one-off to the right side when you’re facing the ocean in the pools.

Your next stop is Diamond Beach . It’s about 12.5 miles from the Peguyangan Waterfall but will take about an hour by motorbike. If you have extra time to spare, stop at Teletubbies Hill for the beautiful views.

Diamond Beach

It’s 10,000 IDR per person to enter the Diamond Beach / Atuh Beach area. Once you park you have three choices. You can take a right and go down the stairs to Diamond Beach. Another option is to go straight and head up the hill to a small temple with nice views. Or, take a left and head down the stairs to Atuh Beach.

The stairs down to Diamond Beach are very picturesque as you get the view of the beach below. There are usually people here taking photos. The descent is tricky in some areas but there are ropes to hang on to.

There is a woman with a small stand at the bottom. You can pay 100,000 IDR to get harnessed into her awesome swing off the side of the cliff, or 50,000 IDR to sit in one of her “nests” for a photo shoot. She also has cold drinks and snacks for sale.

The waves here are aggressive, and during high tide, there’s not a lot of beach left to sit on. But it is the most beautiful beach on Nusa Penida and well worth the trip down.

Atuh Beach has much calmer water for swimming or snorkeling and many more amenities. The beach is lined with warungs selling seafood, fruit shakes, and cold Bingtangs.

You can rent two lounge chairs with an umbrella between them for 50,000 IDR. It’s the perfect place to grab lunch and spend an afternoon on Nusa Penida.

Rumah Pohon Tree House

While you’re in the area, you may as well stop by the famous Instagram tree houses of Nusa Penida. The Rumah Pohon Tree Houses are small houses that have been built into the trees high on a hill with spectacular views of Diamond Beach below. They have become quite famous on social media with hundreds of photographers descending on the viewpoint daily to snap the perfect Instagram selfie.

If you can plan far enough in advance, you can actually spend a night in one of the tree houses , but they book out months in advance. Sleeping in one of the tree houses is quite expensive for how basic the accommodations are, but you’re really paying for the view.

Or you can simply pay 10,000 IDR per person to check them out and snap a few photos.

Back to Bali

From Atuh Beach, it’s just a 1-hour drive back to the pier on the west side of Nusa Penida where you’ll drop off your motorbike and catch the ferry back to Bali.

One interesting stop along the way is the Goa Giri Putri Temple. This Hindu temple is hidden in a cave and you’ll have to crawl through a small entrance to access it. Once you’re inside; however, it opens up into a large cavern filled with incense smoke and Hindu worshippers. As usual, you’ll need to be wearing a sarong to enter the temple, but there are a few shops nearby offering cheap sarong rentals.

And finally, if you have left yourself some extra time then stop at the famous Penida Colada beach bar for happy hour (2 for 1 cocktail from 4 pm – 7 pm) and beautiful sunset views of Mount Agung.

Where to Stay: If you have time consider spending a night at Kempoel Jangkang . It’s just a short, 5-minute motorbike ride from Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach. Accommodations are basic but rooms have air conditioning and the food here is some of the best on the entire island!

Where to Eat: The food at Kempoel Jangkang is fantastic. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, it’s a good stop for lunch on your way to Diamond Beach. There are also numerous warungs at Atuh Beach offering food and drinks.

If You Have More Time on Nusa Penida Island

There are a few popular attractions that we left off the list for various reasons. If you can spend more time on the island, it’s worth checking them out!

Manta Point

One of the most popular sites on Nusa Penida is actually underwater. If you have an extra day on Nusa Penida, sign up for a boat trip to Manta Point. The boats typically leave from Crystal Bay. They will include pickup services from your hotel if you’re staying on the west side of the island.

You’ll have the opportunity to swim with giant manta rays which will undoubtedly be a highlight of your trip to Nusa Penida !

Banah Cliff Point

Banah Cliff Point is located between Kelingking Beach and Tembeling Beach. We left it off our itinerary because the last mile of the road to get there is incredibly rough. We ended up parking our bike about 1/4 mile from the point and walking the rest of the way. There are nice views of the cliffs from both sides of the point. But, in our opinion, they were no better than the views from, say, Kelingking. If you do go, there is a really friendly little shop. It has a few hot dishes as well as chips and cold drinks for sale.

Saren Cliff Point

Saren Cliff Point is located on the coast between Tembeling Beach and Peguyangan. And as with Banah, the last mile or so of the road here is terrible. And again, the views are nice, but it may not be worth the difficult drive if you are short on time.

Pura Puncak Mundi

Pura Puncak Mundi is the temple that is located on the highest point on the island. Men and women must wear a sarong to enter the temple, and as with all Indonesian temples, foreigners are not allowed to enter the inner sanctuary.

The drive up to the temple is really beautiful, with views of the lush vegetation for miles in all directions. However, the temple isn’t all that interesting and people there will look at you like you are crazy for visiting. Plus, there are no real views from the actual temple.

Enjoy your tour of Nusa Penida Island!
