Now, let’s dive into the unparalleled beauty of Nusa Penida West Tour Attractions

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

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

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 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.

Also read about the best  3-week Bali Route

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.

Read all about:   Kelingking Nusa Penida

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.

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.

Also see:  19 Things to do in Nusa Penida

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 .

Also read, full guide: 3-day Nusa Penida Trip

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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!!!!

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 😉

22. March 2017 at 21:48

Your photos are stunning. You’ve clearly got a good eye and great skill. I’m convinced I want to go here now too!

22. March 2017 at 22:08

Thank you so much for the nice comment Lisa 😀

22. March 2017 at 21:56

Wow, your photos are amazing. If I wasn’t on my way to Hawaii tomorrow you’d have given me serious island envy 🙂

Thank you Lisa 😀 Ah Hawaii, can’t wait to go back there one day. Happy travels!

22. March 2017 at 22:39

i love the way you capture the nature. It is so beautiful xxx

23. March 2017 at 16:27

Thanks Yuliya 🙂

23. March 2017 at 05:46

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 😉

23. March 2017 at 08:14

I’ve been planning to visit Bali since ages. Now, Nusa Penida is in my list too. All thanks to your stunning captures! Absolutely love your post and your blog. Sleek and stylish. <3

23. March 2017 at 16:22

Thank you Shalini 😀 I’m so happy to hear that you liked it!

23. March 2017 at 19:23

You have such a good eye. Great photos

23. March 2017 at 20:00

I was on Bali this summer and really liked it. Sadly I dod not visit Nusa Penida….hopefully the next time I visit Bali 🙂 x

23. March 2017 at 20:54

Yes! 100% convinced, it’s on my list! Beautiful post and photos x

24. March 2017 at 00:35

Omg such a beautiful place. Feels and looks like you have been in Heaven lol. Thanks for sharing this post with us. x

27. March 2017 at 20:07

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!

18. May 2017 at 15:31

Beautiful photos ! Nusa Penida is now on my Wish list too. Thank you! .

19. May 2017 at 00:02

Thank you, Olga! I’m happy to hear that 😀

23. September 2017 at 17:58

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 🙂

1. May 2024 at 11:56

This is so amazing i loved your post and thank you for making it for us!

1. May 2024 at 22:38

I’m happy you found it helpful 😊

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Make Travel Truly Transformational

Nusa Penida Tour – Everything You Should Know Before You Go

Just 45 minutes from Bali by boat, Nusa Penida has beautiful views, stunning landscapes, and one of the most gorgeous beaches we’ve ever seen. If you’re thinking about doing a Nusa Penida tour , this post covers everything you need to know before booking.

What’s in our guide to a Nusa Penida tour?

If you know anything about Stephen and me, you’ll know that we hardly ever recommend tours. We prefer to travel independently, staying away from the tourist crowds and seeing things at our own pace.

But the spectacularly beautiful Nusa Penida Island, not far from the south shores of Bali, is a tricky place to travel independently.

For a start, there is little public transport available, and you can’t even hire an ojek (motorbike with driver) without a lot of hassle. Even taxis are hard to come by.

Lots of tourists rent motorbikes when they get to Nusa Penida. If that’s your plan, read the section below about driving on the island before you do it!

Most people see the main sights of the island on a guided tour. You can choose to:

• Get to Nusa Penida yourself, spend a few nights on the island, and book your tour while you’re there.
• Take a one day trip to Nusa Penida from Bali, squeezing everything into about 10 hours, depending on traffic.

We did the first option, but the tour is basically the same either way.

If you want to see the incredible sights on Nusa Penida, read on to discover…

What you Need to Know to Plan Your Nusa Penida Tour

Nusa penida video tour.

Here’s what you’ll see on your Nusa Penida tour. Watch the video and then use the post to plan your trip!

Should you choose a West Nusa or East Nusa tour?

West nusa penida tour.

The west side of the island is the more popular one — and rightly so. It takes you to visit four scenic spots, including the most perfect beach we’ve ever seen!

This is the tour we chose. It goes to:

• Angel’s Billabong . A natural tidal pool, swimmable at low tide.
• Broken Beach . An inaccessible beach with an impressive stone archway.
• Kelingking Beach . The most beautiful beach on earth?
• Crystal Bay . A great beach for swimming and sunbathing.

East Nusa Penida Tour

If you can’t stand crowds, you might want to opt for the east side of the island, where fewer tourists go.

The East Nusa Penida Tour goes to:

• Atuh. A simply gorgeous Nusa Penida beach.
• Raja Lima. A viewpoint that’s perfect for Instagram.
• Gili Putri Cave. A Balinese Hindu cave temple.
• Teletubbies Hills. Green rolling hills named for their resemblance to the Teletubbies’ home.

Sights and Highlights of the West Nusa Penida Tour

Angel’s billabong, nusa penida.

After a juddery hour on the road, driving in a long line of almost identical four-wheel-drive SUVs, we arrived at Angel’s Billabong. The parking lot was jammed. Was this tour going to be a terrible mistake?

As we walked along the cement trail to the viewpoints, we weren’t feeling much better about our choice. Every space along the cliff held a girl in a bikini top striking adorable poses while her boyfriend took pictures. Actually, that’s not quite true. Only the Western girls were inappropriately dressed!

Side note: Yes, I know I shouldn’t judge people based on their choice of clothing, but wearing next to nothing in a relatively conservative country is just not cool. Would it kill you to show some respect by throwing on a beach cover-up?

We pushed our way through the crowds for our own photos and selfies and finally climbed down to the Billabong. Though the waves were crashing into the pool and churning back out to see, one guy ventured out near the edge.

The crowd gasped as an especially large wave yanked him off his feet and threatened to drag him out to sea. He managed to regain his footing and retreated back to safety.

Angel’s Billabong is only safe for a swim during low tide and when the waves are small. If your guide says to get out of the water, get out of the water.

Broken Beach, Nusa Penida

Once we were done at Angel’s Billabong, our guide, Madé, walked us a short way down the trail to Broken Beach.

The actual beach, being at the bottom of a steep cliff, is inaccessible from the top. The only activity here is to admire the stone archway leading into the beach and take more photos for Instagram!

If you walk across the archway, you’ll get the best view of the beach. When we were there, sadly, there was a dead dog washed up on shore.

You get used to this kind of contrast when you travel in countries like Indonesia. Good and bad often come hand-in-hand, all becoming part of your travel experience.

(If you’re interested in helping the stray dogs on Bali, check out the Bali Animal Welfare Association ) →

Kelingking Beach, Nusa Penida

At first, we thought that Kelingking Beach was just another pretty viewpoint, where we’d snap a few pictures and move onto the next thing. Then, we noticed that there were people down on the beach, hundreds of feet below where we stood.

This is where our Nusa Penida tour took a turn towards the incredible.

Kelingking Beach is best described with this picture.

It is a perfect stretch of golden sand in a perfectly protected bay. Looking down (way down!) at the beach from the cliffs above is a dizzying experience.

When Madé, our tour guide, said “You can go down”, I didn’t believe it. How could we possibly get from here, way in the sky, to there, down at the sea?

As it turns out, there is a trail, if it can be called that.

It dips down off the plateau and onto the ridge that juts out into the sea. At the beginning, it is fairly steep and precarious, with low fences made of branches lining each side.

The second half of the trail is steeper, in worse repair, more crowded, and even more terrifying. If you choose to go down, you’ll need nerves of steel and arms and legs to match.

As we slowly scrambled our way down, sweaty tourists on their way up assured us it was worth it. Starting to feel breathless and dizzy from the extreme height, I wasn’t so sure. If Stephen hadn’t been there egging me on, I would have turned around after 5 minutes.

But I’m so glad I didn’t!

Kelingking is the most beautiful beach we’ve ever sunk our toes into.

Only a small percentage of the tourists up top ever make it down to the beach. The climb makes it feel all the more special — like you’re in a secret club of crazy brave people.

After playing in the crashing waves for a while, we sat on the beach and absorbed the views.

Though we loved the beach, I have to admit I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle the climb back up! I resigned myself to being stranded for the rest of my life on the stunning beach. But, as the tide came in, leaving only a tiny bit of beach exposed, I realized I would have to leave with everyone else.

My worry was all for nothing. Going up was much easier than coming down! Plus, the people in front of us were so slow that I had plenty of time to rest and catch my breath.

Crystal Bay, Nusa Penida

After the sweaty, dusty climb out of Kelingking Beach, we considered skipping Crystal Bay and heading back early. But, we had visited there four years ago when we were on Nusa Penida and really wanted to see how much it had changed.

Another 40-minute drive took us to the familiar beach.

In 2014, there were only two small drink stalls and a small handful of people on the beach. Now, it is lined with little restaurants, beach chairs, and people soaking up the sun.

By the time we arrived, many of the day trippers and boat trippers had already left, so it was busy but not overcrowded.

Sinking into the crystal blue water and washing off the accumulated grit, sunscreen, and sweat from our day tour on Nusa Penida was the best feeling in the world. Crystal Bay made the perfect end to a tour that, if not perfect, was well worth the time and money.

How much does a Nusa Penida tour cost?

We were already on the island when we decided to do a tour of Nusa Penida. Before we booked, I emailed four of the main Nusa Penida tour companies for pricing and details.

Two of them never replied and the two that did offered me the same tour at significantly different prices.

This is typical in Indonesia, where pricing is often based on getting you to pay as much as possible, rather than offering the same price to everyone.

• Penida Tours was the most expensive at 1.35 million IDR (94 USD) per person.
• Discover Nusa Penida offered us the same tour at 1.5 million IDR (104 USD) for two people.

Instead of going with either of these companies, we asked our hotel to arrange the tour. They use a local tour company called Sampalan Trans Company. Our Nusa Penida tour cost us 700K IDR (50 USD) for a car and driver for a full day. We arranged the tour at around 8pm the night before we wanted to go.

What is included on a tour?

Our tour included:

• Car and driver for a full day
• Transportation to Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach, Kelingking Beach, Crystal Bay
• All entry fees and parking fees were included

The more expensive tours also include:

• Lunch at a restaurant (value 110K IDR / 8 USD for two people)
• English-speaking guide (our guide only spoke a little English)

Should you do a Nusa Penida day tour from Bali?

If you’re going to do a day trip to Nusa Penida, you’ll have to book everything in Bali or before you leave home. This greatly simplifies the trip, but will also cost you more.

A Nusa Penida day trip from Bali is busy, but you’ll just be able to squeeze in all the Nusa Penida must sees!

Most of the Nusa Penida tour companies offer the exact same things, with varying prices.

The only major difference can be in the quality of fast boat you get to take. It’s important to travel with a reliable company, since the fast boats can often be late or have mechanical problems — and the safety levels can also vary!

Expect to pay around 100 USD per person for the full day with everything included.

If you like to book ahead, this day tour from Bali includes everything I cover in this post and has excellent reviews.

This tour costs a little less but it doesn’t have any reviews yet!

You can also do a 2-day tour from Bali that includes Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. This tour includes and overnight stay on Lembongan, plus snorkelling on both Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. More Nusa Penida Tours →

What should you bring on a Nusa Penida tour?

• Bathing suit & towel – you can swim at Kelingking and Crystal Bay
• Beach cover up – to be respectful of the Indonesian culture
• Suncreen – most of the day you’ll be in direct sunlight
• Lots of water – it’s easy to get dehydrated on this dry island
• Shoes other than flip-flops – the Kelingking climb is much easier in proper shoes
• Camera – to capture the best views in the world
• A small backpack – don’t bring a big beach bag or purse, as you’ll need your hands free for Kelingking

Things You Should Know Before You go to Nusa Penida

1. the roads are insanely lousy..

Except for a few nicely paved stretches, the roads on Nusa Penida are indescribably bad. Roads that were originally meant for a few local villagers on motorbikes are now packed with scores of SUVs every day.

In most places, the asphalt has worn away to infrequent chunks, which are connected by rocky, sandy, potholes. Even the good parts of road are narrow, winding, and crowded, making the driving hair-raising either way. It makes for a very bumpy ride.

2. Avoid renting a motorbike on Nusa Penida.

When you first get to Nusa Penida, you might be fooled by the perfectly paved beach road into thinking that driving a motorbike there will be easy. But inland, the roads transform into pot-holed messes, with sandy rocks, huge potholes, steep hills, and little or no asphalt. Unless you’re an excellent motorbike driver, I wouldn’t even try it.

It might be all part of the adventure — or it could be a great way to earn a trip to the hospital.

3. Everything is farther than it looks on the map.

Even though the sights look close together, don’t let that fool you. It takes about an hour to get between each stop. You’ll spend a good part of the day in the car, shaking and rattling your way from one destination to the next. If you’re prone to car sickness, take your nausea meds!

4. Nusa Penida is not the deserted paradise it once was.

If you’ve heard how secluded and tranquil Nusa Penida is, you’ll be in for a shock! The four destinations on the West Nusa Penida Tour are as crowded as the Mona Lisa on a holiday weekend. There are bikini-clad tourists everywhere, all jostling for that perfect Instagram shot.

At least that is what it was like in early July. If you visit in low season, you might have a better experience.

5. The views will actually take your breath away.

Despite these setbacks, we did come away from the day thinking “that was great!” We love observing and interating with people from all different cultures. The landscapes are incredible and Kelingking Beach is an experience we’ll never forget.

6. You should definitely stay a few nights on Nusa Penida.

Unless you have time to stay for a few days on Nusa Penida, I would hesitate to recommend coming here at all. The great appeal of the island is the slow pace of life, away from the Aussie surfer dudes and ultra-spiritual yogis you find on Bali.

Great Places to Stay on Nusa Penida

We loved the beautiful Namaste bungalows , which is where we stayed on our 2014 trip to Nusa Penida. It’s about halfway between the fast boat dock at Tojapakeh and Crystal Bay.

Just down the road from Namaste is Bintang Bungalows , where our good friends just stayed. They said it was great!

We also really enjoyed our villa at Petak Cottage on the north side of the island. It is walking distance to Penida Espresso, where they make delicious smoothie bowls. It also gave us an amazing view over Mount Agung as it was erupting!

I hope this guide to taking a Nusa Penida tour is helpful when you’re planning your trip to Bali! If you have any questions or have been on Nusa Penida, please let us know what it was like in the comments below.

Ketut is the best!!;

Ketut was a brilliant driver and answered all my enquiries promptly. So thankful for his suggestion to start our East/West tour at 7.30am. We had taken a ferry from Lembongan. He took us to the East Coast first and as I'm a bit unsteady on my feet he was very courteous and assisted me on uneven paths He was also a wonderful photographer and went that extra mile even climbing a tree!!! He also took us to a great lunch spot with great service and yummy food. He also is a great singer and we enjoyed his playlist especially the song It's a Beautiful Day which has become our anthem song each day. He dropped us back with plenty of time for our ferry back to Lembongan. Thank you Ketut you are the best!!!

We had 3 nights in Nusa Penida and booked Ketut for 2 days to do the East and West side of the island and were so glad we did ! Ketut went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience ! He took us to all the best spots and took some amazing photos for us too. We ended up booking him during our other days to take us around the island and to the port. We felt very safe with Ketut on the bumpy roads and he had some great stories to tell along the way. Definitely recommend Ketut if you’re planning a trip to Nuda Penida !

Unfortunately I had the best time with Ketut! He’s such a friendly and funny guy, the perfect driver for this day trip! I would definitely recommend doing it with him! He was perfectly on time plus he made the experience even better and unforgettable! See you next time!

Ketut is the Best driver in 𝐍𝐔𝐒𝐀 Penida Island. We take a 1 day west and east tour. He show us the best views of the beaches (diamond, cristal, Atuh….) and he took us nice photos! We highly recommend him!

We booked a private tour and had a great day! We were able to customize it to where we wanted to go. Ketut was a great driver and took some fabulous photos of us as well. We enjoyed the mix of places we went: Angels Billabong, Broken beach, kelingking beach, tembeling swimming pools, and guyangan waterfall.

We did a 1 day tour of the West coast of Nusa Penida. We saw Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel’s Bilabong, and went swimming on Cristal Beach. Ketut was waiting at the port when we arrived and dropped us off at the end of the day in perfect time. We booked the trip the day before so we’re very pleased with communication and availability. Highly recommend Ketut and his tour!
