• Beautiful Sights, Long Travel – Worth It If You Know What to Expect

  We booked the Nusa Penida One Day Tour with Bali Natural Tours and had a mixed experience. Our Bali driver was great—punctual, professional, and helpful at the busy Sanur harbor. Our Nusa Penida driver was very skilled on the island’s narrow and bumpy roads, though not very talkative and shared little information—perhaps because he was focused on driving safely. In contrast, all our other drivers in Bali were quite informative, so this stood out. It’s essential to start early—we had a 6am pickup from Kuta, but we were stuck because of heavy traffic heading to the harbor. The ferry takes about an hour, and on Nusa Penida, you can expect 15–45 minutes of driving between locations on very rough roads. It’s a full-day trip, and without an early start, the sun and traffic can make it unbearable. The views at Kelingking and Broken Beach were stunning, but the tour is largely a photo op, with limited time to explore or swim. We could visit Crystal Bay and swim for some time, and lunch was very basic not worth it. If you want to truly enjoy Nusa Penida, we’d recommend staying overnight on the island instead of trying to rush through in one day.

• Beautiful Nusa Penida Views, Worth the Travel Time

  This tour was a great way to experience the beauty of Nusa Penida. The pick-up and drop-off to and from the harbor were seamless, thanks to our driver Kadek. Kadek provided helpful instructions for navigating the busy harbor, which was crucial as the ferry boarding process was a bit chaotic since guides do not accompany travelers past a certain point. Upon arriving in Nusa Penida, our guide (a local to Nusa Penida) met us and was efficient throughout the day. He also knew all the best photo spots and took great pictures for us. The included lunch was a bit disappointing - we recommend discussing lunch options with the guide beforehand. Be prepared for some crowds (we went in May), and significant car travel time on the island due to distances and traffic; the ferry ride is about 1hr, followed by 15-45min drives between different locations on the island. However, the breathtaking views during the drives and at the destinations, made the travel worthwhile. This is truly a full-day experience - in our case starting with a 6am pick-up from Canggu which is far from the harbor. However, once on the island, our guide offered flexibility to adjust the itinerary based on our preferences, and we could choose when to take the ferry back. We took the 4pm ferry back and were back at our Canggu hotel at about 7pm. Overall worth it!

• Great experience!!

  The tour guide and spots were great. I took a star because of the roads were extremely bumpy at certain times.

  I wouldn’t recommend this trip. The staff are wonderful but It was mostly just hours and hours in a car, very uncomfortable trip on very bumpy/damaged roads, only to get to places you cannot swim and are very crowded with tourists. We got the first ferry possible back to Sanur. It’s sad to see the island so overrun by tourists and traffic. Very expensive for what you get.

  Went from Bali to Nusa, picked up at hotel and driven to Bali marina. Boat trip to Nusa takes around 45 minutes. Met in Nusa by our guide who drove us to 2 beaches, excellent knowledge and very friendly. Tour felt like it was purely for photo opportunities and most of the time was spent in the car. We had booked to go snorkelling aswell but this was cancelled due to bad weather. Partial refund was offered very quickly by supplier
