Nusa Penida Place guide

Nusa Penida is a small picturesque island situated in between Bali and Lombok, famous for its rugged coastline and scenic view atop Kelingking Beach. It’s close enough to visit even for just a day, but many will want to stay on this enchanting island for more to see the rest of its amazing sights.

Take a dip in the natural infinity pool at Angel’s Billabong and marvel at the natural pools and cliff arches at Broken Beach. Bring out your snorkeling gear to explore underwater at the aptly named Crystal Bay.

Bring out your best Indiana Jones impression and visit the Pura Goa Giri Putri Cave, a unique underground temple inside a 300m cave. Atuh Beach is blessed with white sand and stunning cliffs with striking rock formations. Make the climb to Peguyangan Waterfall and see more dazzling cliff coastline alongside a sacred temple and waterfall. Interact and snorkel with majestic manta rays at Manta Bay.

Travelers will hardly run out of activities in Nusa Penida with all the extraordinary sights and beaches to experience on the island.

GETTING THERE

Book a tour to Nusa Penida or head to Sanur and take the traditional public boat, the jukung, which will take 90 minutes and cost you upwards of IDR40,000. You can also take a speedboat which will be more expensive but will only take less than an hour to reach the island. If you want to take your own vehicle, ferries go from Padang Bai in northeast Bali to Nusa Penida.
