Nusa Penida Day Trip – Bali 2025 Guide

Nusa Penida lies just off the southeast coast of Bali and is known for steep cliffs, hidden beaches and bright blue water. Most visitors do it as a full-day trip from Bali: morning speedboat from Sanur Harbor, a loop of the main sights with a local driver, then an afternoon/evening return.

Roads can be bumpy and distances longer than they look on the map, so keep your route focused instead of trying to see everything in one day.

• 📌 Kelingking Beach – the iconic T-Rex shaped cliff and viewpoint; steep stairs lead down to the beach.
• 📌 Broken Beach – a stunning natural sea arch with a circular cove and turquoise water.
• 📌 Angel’s Billabong – a crystal-clear natural rock pool (always check tide, waves and safety signs).
• 📌 Crystal Bay – a calmer bay great for swimming, relaxing and sunset.

Many classic tours focus on these west-coast spots. Separate trips can cover the east coast (Diamond Beach, Atuh, Rumah Pohon tree house) or dedicated Manta Ray snorkeling tours.

• 🚤 Speedboat from Sanur Harbor to Nusa Penida – sailing time is about 30–45 minutes depending on sea conditions.
• 🎟️ Tickets: usually around USD 15–20 per person (one way).
• Most visitors book a full-day tour including boat tickets and a local driver to cover the highlights without stress.

Be at Sanur Harbor early for check-in; boats don’t always run exactly on time and schedules can change with the weather.

• Round-trip boat ticket: about USD 30–40.
• Full-day tour with local driver: about USD 50–70 per person.
• Meals & extras: roughly USD 10–20 (simple lunch + drinks + small fees).

Package tours often bundle these items for a single price; always check what’s included (lunch, entrance fees, hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, etc.) before booking.

• Take iconic photos at Kelingking Beach from the main viewpoints.
• Walk around Broken Beach and admire the natural sea arch.
• See Angel’s Billabong from safe viewing points; sometimes the pool is closed for safety.
• Swim and relax at Crystal Bay or enjoy a coconut on the beach.
• Join snorkeling or diving trips with Manta Rays (often from Penida or Nusa Lembongan).
• Explore small local villages, warungs and roadside viewpoints along the way.

• Wear comfortable shoes for walking on cliffs, uneven paths and steep stairs.
• Book your tour in advance, especially in high season and holidays.
• Bring enough water, light snacks and sun protection (hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen).
• Expect some bumpy roads – driving times are longer than they look on the map.
• If you get seasick, consider taking motion sickness tablets before the boat ride.
