Nusa Penida is the most striking of the three sister islands off the coast of Bali. With its limestone formations and dramatic cliffs that cascade down into deep turquoise waters, the island attracts adventure seekers and travelers in search of untouched natural beauty. It is a true paradise for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of mainland Bali and experience serenity along with breathtaking landscapes.

Nusa Penida is home to unique natural highlights, such as a natural infinity-like pool opening out to the ocean, and Broken Beach, a cove carved by erosion into a massive rock arch that resembles a giant natural gateway—though boats cannot pass through it. The island is also renowned for its rich marine life, famously known as a gathering spot for manta rays and mola mola, which can be easily encountered at various dive sites.

A visit to Nusa Penida offers a wide range of experiences—from climbing down rugged trails to hidden beaches, to sitting peacefully atop the cliffs while watching sunrise and sunset. The overall atmosphere is calmer and simpler than Bali, allowing visitors to feel the authentic charm of island life. Getting around the island typically requires a motorbike or a car with a driver, as the roads can be rough, but the spectacular scenery makes every journey worthwhile.

• Fast Boat: Depart from Sanur or Kusamba Harbor on the main island of Bali. The journey takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

• Ferry: Depart from Padang Bai Harbor (This option takes longer and is suitable for those who need to bring a car or motorbike across).

On-Island Travel:

• Renting a motorbike is a popular option, but you should have good riding skills as the roads can be quite challenging and rough
