Dramatic Cliffs, Hidden Beaches, and Ocean Adventures
Start your Nusa Penida tour early in the morning (or better, stay overnight) — most day trippers from Bali arrive mid-morning, so you’ll get the most famous spots like Kelingking or Angel’s Billabong to yourself if you beat the crowds.
Snorkel or dive with giant manta rays off Nusa Penida.
Take a day tour exploring Penida’s rugged coastal highlights.
Relax at a beach club on Lembongan.
Cross the Yellow Bridge on foot or scooter to explore hidden spots on Ceningan.
Walk along Blue Lagoon (Ceningan) for unreal cliff and ocean views.
Best for photographers, adventure seekers, nature lovers, divers, and travelers who want a raw, less-polished experience compared to Bali’s main tourist hubs.
April to October offers the calmest seas for boat crossings and water activities. Avoid December to February when rains can make roads muddy and boat rides rougher.
Sanur (Bali) – Main departure point for boats to the Nusa Islands.
Gili Islands – Reachable by boat if you’re hopping between island chains.
Lombok – A larger, less-developed island east of the Gilis.
