2024 Nusa Penida Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

The breathtaking sights of Nusa Penida

#100waysoftravel Nusa Penida is the little gem of Bali. You can expect white-sand beaches with silky blue water, 200-meter high coastal cliffs drop, and yet untouched nature 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. Diamond Beach, is also famous for its incredible natural scenery with clean white sands, transparent turquoise waters, and high cliffs. The key feature here would be 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. We got here on a day trip from Seminyak… and it was an amazing and memorable trip for sure… #livelifelah #travel #wanderlust #bali #indonesia

Wonders of West Nusa Penida

To get here, I booked a tour that has hotel transfer from Bali. 📍Kelingking Beach is famous for its unique rock formation that resembles the backbone of a T-Rex. 📍Angel's Billabong is a natural infinity pool facing the Indian ocean. Swimming is now prohibited. 📍Broken Beach is so named because a portion of the cliff has collapsed, creating a circular shape. Water flows through an arch that overlooks the sea, creating a circular bay. #indonesiatrip #nusapenida #bali #balitrip #indonesia

Beauty of Nusa Penida, Bali

Disclaimer : All photos uploaded without any filter or edit🩵 We took fast boat from Bali island to Nusa penida. Then a driver picked us up from the port to tour around for a day. For one day trip, we could only choose whether to tour on east or west area as the timing is tight and we have to go back to the port before sunset.

Nusa Penida Bali 🇮🇩🏝️

#balitrip It was a pleasure embarking on a trip to Nusa Pineda with Bali Sun Tours, and simply, it was fantastic. From the moment we left, the team ensured we had everything we needed for a fun trip. The trip was organized like no other, and the crew’s knowledge of the locations we visited was really impressive. Snorkeling around the island was a particularly prominent landmark. The underwater scenes were a marvel to look at with the vibrant coral reefs teeming with water life. The equipment provided was top-notch and the evidence ensured that even we were less experienced to feel safe and comfortable. The sightseeing tour was equally delightful. We had the opportunity to see the stunning landscape and learn about the unique culture and history of Nusa Pineda. The tour was going perfectly, allowing us to snage into the stunning scenery without feeling rushing. In addition, the staff were polite and friendly, and went to great lengths Whether it’s snorkelling, sightseeing or just exploring this beautiful island, you’ll be in excellent hands with Bali Suns Tours. The memories I made on this journey are the ones I will cherish forever. Really, a 5 star experience! I fell in love with this island while I was there last week. Breathtaking landscapes and motorcycle road rides that are struck by the island’s splendor is another. We stayed two nights there and I'm very glad I did this instead of a day trip, I knew from what I saw and read that I would love it, so I decided to stay for two nights. I wish I stayed more, when I get back to Bali I will definitely stay longer in Nusa Pineda. It’s a magical island

Diamond Beach 🐚

Diamond beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on Nusa Penida island. It is definitely a must visit spot to explore in your trip to Bali. The place is stunning and magical with breathtaking views. It is a perfect spot to relax, take photos and enjoy the nature. Unfortunately, the beach is not made for swimming or snorkelling. The current is quite dangerous and waves are big, so be careful. It is possible to reach the beach by motorbike or car and there is a parking at the entrance. . . . #beachlife #diamondbeach #bali #balitravel #indonesia #naturalwonders #nature #naturelover #nusapenida #island #islandtravel #beaches #beachvacation #scenicspotguide #travelgoals #travelinspiration #travelphotography #travelguide

Penida Island West Tour for One Day

Wake up at 5:30am and go on a one-day tour to the west side of Nusa Penida. After a whole day of rushing around, being exposed to the sun, clocking in and taking photos on the assembly line, I really feel that such beautiful scenery should be enjoyed slowly while drinking coffee/afternoon tea/sunbathing/eating/soaking in a hotel, instead of only being able to see each attraction for one or two seconds and the tour guide asking "are you done?" right after taking the photo. Then most of the time during the whole trip is spent on a motorcycle/boat/minivan. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but I still cancelled all the similar day trips afterwards. If you have time and conditions, it is recommended to stay on the island for one or two days and play slowly.

Getting to Paradise on Earth: Nusa Penida

#2023travelwish Pristine beaches, cliffs and clear waters.. this paradise on earth is just 25km from the main Bali island! Nusa Penida is known for its instagrammable spots, manta rays, and treks. Here's a quick guide on getting to Nusa Penida from Bali: Transport: The only way to Nusa Penida is by fastboat. The journey will take 45 minutes each way, and boats depart from Sanur Harbour. There are various companies/timings, but a majority depart at 0730/0830 and return at 1530/1630. Ticket Info & Cost: IDR150.000 per person/one way. The price will vary if you book a tour package. Most travellers either book tickets through their drivers, or show up at the harbour and buy directly at the counters. Tourist fee is IDR25.000 adults and IDR15.000 children. Experience: Sanur Harbour was opened this year, so it's comfortable. The fastboat ride was fine. However, arriving at Nusa Penida will require you to walk through sand/water up the beach. The island is rustic and underdeveloped, so the rides are bumpy, narrow and a bit dangerous. But, the sites and views were worth everything. Look at the pictures! You MUST see them in person. Highlights: Kelingking Beach (separate post), Crystal Bay, Broken Beach, Diamond Beach 2023 travel wish! Hoping to visit the Great Barrier Reef! Have never been there before and it looks amazing. #beachlife #summervacation #bali #nusapenida

Try to get there!

Hey travelers, Nusa Penida is a very beautiful island, and this well-known picturesque beach - the famous one - is the most common destination that tourists visit, of course. But have you ever heard that to get to the beach can be quite a challenge! The path down is a steep slope with sort of natural stairs, and you will have a great workout while getting to the beach and back. However, it’s worth it ! Harsh way guarantees that the beach will not be overcrowded and only few people will be around. Nature over there is super awesome, the ocean is beautiful, swimming is refreshing, time flies lol. Enjoy the beach, enjoy your life! GO TRAVELING !

Watching the waves crash just beyond the pool reminded us how both peaceful and powerful the ocean can be. 3. Broken Beach This spot is a natural wonder! A stunning archway, formed over time by the waves, connects the ocean to a tranquil lagoon. It’s not just a beach—it’s like a natural sculpture park created by the Earth itself. The beauty and calmness here make it a perfect stop for families who want to soak in nature’s artistry.
