Nusa Penida Island Hopping

Speedboat to the cliffs of Kelingking Beach, swim in natural pools and snorkel with manta rays.

About Nusa Penida Island Hopping

Just a short fast-boat ride from Bali, Nusa Penida is a wild, rugged island of jaw-dropping coastlines. The T-Rex-shaped cliff of Kelingking Beach is one of Indonesia’s most photographed views; pair it with the natural infinity pool of Angel’s Billabong, the arch of Broken Beach and snorkelling with giant manta rays.

What to see & do

  • Kelingking Beach viewpoint (the “T-Rex” cliff)
  • Angel’s Billabong natural pool and Broken Beach
  • Crystal Bay snorkelling and Manta Point
  • Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach in the east
  • Kelingking and Peguyangan blue-stairs cliff walks

🗓️ Best time to visit

April–October for calm crossings and clear water. Take the earliest boat (08:00) to reach Kelingking before the day-trip crowds.

🚆 How to reach

Fast boats to Nusa Penida leave from Sanur harbour and take about 45 minutes (≈₹1,200–₹2,000 return). On the island, rough roads mean it is best explored by a hired car-and-driver or jeep tour rather than scooter for first-timers.

💰 Cost

A full-day Nusa Penida tour from Bali, including the return fast boat, a driver and snorkelling, costs about ₹3,500–₹6,000 per person.

Insider tips

  • Book a return fast-boat seat in advance and keep some seasickness tablets handy.
  • Wear sturdy shoes — the cliff paths to the beaches are steep and slippery.
  • Carry cash; ATMs on the island are few and unreliable.
  • Consider an overnight stay to see the quieter east-coast beaches.
