It&#8217;s still a part of Bali province, and is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and stunning natural landscapes. It&#8217;s perfect for adventure seekers and nature lovers looking for a weekend trip away from mainland Bali.<\/p>\n<h3>How to get to Nusa Penida from Bali<\/h3>\n<p>You can reach Nusa Penida via a fast ferry or speedboat, which depart daily from Sanur and Padang Bai. Travel times typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the conditions that day. Most boats leave in the morning when the seas are calmer, and I would recommended departing from Sanur, because the new harbour is clean, convenient, and has a pier meaning you don&#8217;t get your feet wet.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Nusa Penida worth visiting?<\/h3>\n<p>If you love awe-inspiring natural landscapes, hidden beaches, vibrant marine life and breathtaking cultural sights, Nusa Penida is definitely worth visiting. It&#8217;s a relatively untouched island that looks like something out of Jurassic Park. It&#8217;s one of my absolute favourite places to explore over a long weekend.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"top-11-things-to-do-in-nusa-penida\"><\/span>Top 11 things to do in Nusa Penida<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.

(Photo by Honeycombers)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yep, you\u2019ve seen it on everyone\u2019s Instagram feed: the T Rex-shaped cliff that stands tall and proud on the western coast of the island. <strong>Kelingking Beach<\/strong> (\u201ckelingking\u201d meaning \u201clittle finger\u201d) is a Nusa Penida icon, and it was voted TripAdvisor&#8217;s 9th Best Beach in The World. It&#8217;s known not only for its spectacular rock formation, but also its beautiful white sandy beach\u2026 that is, if you dare to hike down the almost vertical, barely-there stairs!<\/p>\n<p>Those who are brave enough will surely be rewarded. As you step onto the pristine beach, you\u2019re instantly transported to paradise, with powder-white sands and wild crashing waves. It&#8217;s well worth the adrenaline rush, and a much-needed respite from the crowds of tourists at the top!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:<\/strong> Prepare for a sea of tourists as this incredibly popular spot. You can find quieter corners to take in the view, but generally, this is the busiest viewpoint in all of Nusa Penida.<br \/>\n<strong>Good to Know:<\/strong> There is currently an &#8216;elevator&#8217; under construction that will transport visitors down to the beach. This means the view here is no longer &#8216;natural&#8217;, as there is a large crane and heavy construction underway.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

It really was one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/bluuu-day-trip-to-nusa-penida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best days out I&#8217;ve had in Bali<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the magical day trip, Bluuu is also helping to protect marine life with its reef restoration program, which every guest can take part in \u2013 I even planted a few coral fragments myself! Add in their incredible hospitality, sleek boats, and expertise in boat safety, and you\u2019ve got the best Nusa Penida boat tour in Bali.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:<\/strong> Bluuu\u2019s boats are sleek and spacious, so even the shared tours feel private and exclusive.<br \/>\n<strong>Good to know:<\/strong> The awesome team is all about safety, and they run pre-boarding briefings so you feel fully taken care of.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/bluuu.tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Book a tour with Bluuu<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3.

You\u2019ll have the chance to get up close with a range of marine life, from sea turtles and dolphins, to dugongs, and the most famous of them all, Manta Rays. The largest families of Manta Rays can be found at <strong>Manta Point<\/strong>, but you&#8217;ll also want to explore <strong>Crystal Bay<\/strong> with its colourful reefs, and Gamat Bay which is best for underwater caves. Other popular snorkelling and diving spots include <strong>Penida Bay, Toyapakeh, Batu Meling, Batu Abah, Malibu Point and Batu Lumbung<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:<\/strong> Manta Point can get very choppy, so try to visit on a day with small swell, low winds, and if necessary, bring sea-sickness tablets!<br \/>\n<strong>Good to Know:<\/strong> The currents in Nusa Penida are notoriously strong, so stay close to your guide, and only scuba dive here if you are experienced.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

It\u2019s also where you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/swings-in-bali-attractions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soaring swings<\/a> that make for great photo-ops against a panoramic backdrop of glittering ocean and diamond-shaped rocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:<\/strong> Diamond Beach is located right next to Atuh Beach (below), so you can easily visit both of these beaches in one day.<br \/>\n<strong>Good to Know:<\/strong> There are stairs down to the beach, but they can be quite high and uneven in places, so only descend if you have the fitness levels to get back up!<\/p>\n<h3>5.

You can dip and swim in the pools, and watch the crashing waves over the edge.

You&#8217;ll also want to visit at low tide only, because when the tide is high here, wild waves crash up and over the rocks, turning this dreamy spot into a very dangerous cave with strong currents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:\u00a0<\/strong>Swimming is not permitted here, as high tides bring unpredictable and dangerous waves.<br \/>\n<strong>Good to know:<\/strong> The views from above are worth the trip alone, but as a bonus, Broken Beach is another must-see that&#8217;s just 100 metres away.<\/p>\n<h3>8.

(Photo by Honeycombers)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I first arrived at the entrance to <strong>Pura Goa Giri Putri<\/strong>, I almost turned around to leave, because I thought I&#8217;d come to the end of the path. But before I could walk away, a smiling local pointed to a small hole in the rocks&#8230; <em>That<\/em> was the entrance to the temple!<\/p>\n<p>Pura Goa Giri Putri is a sacred, underground temple, and to find it, you need to squeeze down the narrow entrance (which looks more like a hole in the ground!), before you&#8217;re transported to another world. Once you&#8217;re inside, it suddenly opens up into an enormous towering cave. It&#8217;s unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>Goa Giri Putri, which translates to \u201cthe Goddess of the cave and hill\u201d, is home to six <em>pura<\/em> (AKA \u201ctemples\u201d), one located outside and the rest inside the cave. This cultural destination is visited by local Balinese for daily prayers, but it\u2019s open for visitors too. You can simply walk through the cave, or take part in a purification ritual, which lasts for approximately two hours and uses holy water from the cave\u2019s natural springs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local tip:<\/strong> Legend has it that only those with pure intentions can fit through the temple entrance!<br \/>\n<strong>Good to know:<\/strong> Be sure to cover up and dress appropriately before you enter this space for prayer, and follow the guidance from the temple priests.<\/p>\n<h3>9.

Like on mainland Bali, you can hire a scooter or a local driver for a day. You can even ask your hotel if they offer transport services. There&#8217;s no traffic on Nusa Penida, but some of the roads can be extremely bumpy and dangerous to ride on. So, only rent a scooter if you have a licence and have ridden before. Keep in mind that there&#8217;s no online taxis like Grab and GoJek.<\/p>\n<h3>How much is the fast boat ticket from Bali to Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>Prices from Bali to Nusa Penida vary depending on the boat operator and where you&#8217;re departing from. From Sanur Harbour, the fast-boat tickets start from IDR 120,000 one-way. Note that there&#8217;s a Nusa Penida port fee of IDR 25,000, which is paid upon arrival.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the top attractions in Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>The must-visit places in Nusa Penida include Kelingking Beach, Angel\u2019s Billabong, Broken Beach, and Atuh Beach. These iconic attractions offer breathtaking ocean views, vibrant marine life, and excellent photo opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the best time to visit Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>The dry season (April to October) is ideal for visiting Nusa Penida, with clear skies, calm seas for the boat trip from Bali, as well as snorkelling and diving, and optimal conditions for exploring its natural landscapes.<\/p>\n<h3>Where can I stay on Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>Nusa Penida offers a range of accommodation, from budget-friendly guesthouses, to oceanfront hotels and upscale resorts. Many options provide easy access to beaches and top attractions.<\/p>\n<h3>What activities can I do on Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>Popular activities on Nusa Penida include snorkelling, diving, hiking, and exploring hidden beaches and waterfalls. The island is perfect for adventure tourism and outdoor exploration.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Nusa Penida safe for tourists?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Nusa Penida is safe for travellers. However, exercise caution on steep cliff roads, and be aware of strong tides and rugged terrains. Following local safety guidelines will help ensure a secure and enjoyable trip to Nusa Penida.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need a guide to explore Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>While you can explore independently, hiring a local guide or joining a tour is recommended to navigate the island\u2019s challenging roads and to gain local insights into the history and culture of Nusa Penida.<\/p>\n<h3>What travel tips should I know for Nusa Penida?<\/h3>\n<p>Essential tips include packing sunscreen, swimwear, and cash, as ATMs and card readers can be limited. Wear comfortable shoes for hiking, and respect local customs to make the most of your island adventure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love this list of things to do in Nusa Penida?
