Trip Gotik - Bali Tours · Sanur, Bali
The most-booked day trip to Nusa Penida: hotel pickup in Bali, the 07:00 fast boat from Sanur, then a car and driver to the west coast cliffs in the morning and the east coast beaches after lunch. Pick it if you want Kelingking and Diamond Beach on the same day and are fine with a fast pace to get both.
With 4.7 from 8,673 reviews, this is the big seller among Nusa Penida day trips. The shared transfer collects you early, and the window depends on where you sleep: Central Bali 05:00 to 05:30, South Bali 05:00 to 05:45, East Bali 05:30 to 06:00 and Denpasar 05:45 to 06:00. Everyone is aiming for the 07:00 boat from The Angkal Fast Cruise on Jalan Matahari Terbit in Sanur, next to the Circle K, which is also the meeting point if you book without pickup. Boats board at the Sanur fast-boat terminal on Jalan Matahari Terbit, and the crossing takes about 45 minutes. The listing puts the whole day at about 12 hours door to door on shared transfers and about 10 hours from the meeting point.
On the island a local driver takes over in an air-conditioned car and you get about 7 hours on Nusa Penida. The order is fixed: the west coast first (Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong), lunch at a local restaurant, then the east coast (Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach). Doing both sides means long stretches in the car on narrow, steep, patched roads, and guests mention the bumps in almost every review. The walk down to Kelingking beach is optional and takes most of an hour there and back; the stairs at Diamond Beach depend on time and conditions. Expect to choose one long descent, not both.
Entry to Diamond Beach, Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong is included, and so are the return boat (on options that include it), bottled water and the guide. Lunch is on you, and so are drinks and tips. The Molenteng Tree House is not part of the day from Bali: the listing keeps it for selected island-based options, with its fee unpaid. Drivers on the island may speak limited English, though the listing offers guides in English, Indonesian, French, Japanese, Chinese and German. It is marked as unsuitable for people prone to seasickness, with back or heart problems, or with limited mobility.
The shared transfer collects you by area: Central Bali first, Denpasar last. Booked without pickup? Meet at The Angkal Fast Cruise in Sanur, next to the Circle K.
Board at the Sanur fast-boat terminal on Jalan Matahari Terbit and cross in about 45 minutes. The sea can be choppy, so take a seasickness tablet before you board if you need one.
Kelingking Beach from the viewpoint, with the optional walk down, then Broken Beach and the rock pool at Angel's Billabong a few minutes away.
A stop at a local restaurant, paid on the spot. Bring rupiah in cash.
The long drive east to Diamond Beach and its cliff staircase, with Atuh Beach next door. One guest had 2 hours here to go down the stairs or stay at the top.
The afternoon boat to Sanur, then the transfer to your hotel. About 12 hours door to door on shared transfers.
★★★★★You can still find them in Nusa Penida: the stunning beaches that you look for in vain on Bali! Our guide Yani picked us up right from the hotel on time and took care of everything, from the tickets for the speedboat crossing to providing us with water. [...] What was particularly nice was that we were able to plan the day entirely according to our own wishes and needs.
★★★★★We were small group of 3 which made it easy to keep up. [...] The diamond beach is the nicest view and we had 2 hours to explore the shore down the stairs or enjoy the view from above which was amazing!
★★★★★The places we have visited were incredible. The views were awesome. Diamond beach, atuh beach, kelingking beach, angel billabong and broken beach. Mostly are cliff, only at atuh beach if you wish to swim. But be prepared for some hikes at atuh beach and kelingking beach.
★★★★★The tour met my expectations. The beautiful, majestic views made up for any inconveniences associated with the challenging roads. The guide was helpful and very enthusiastic.
