If you plan a vacation to Bali and want to experience a true island vibe, you must visit Nusa Penida Island. The island's shoreline is incredible, just 45 minutes from Bali. There's plenty to see and do on Nusa Penida Island, including beautiful beaches with coarse white sand, soaring cliff vistas, and sea views that can get extremely romantic at sunset. So, here are the top things to do in Nusa Penida.
If you're searching for a great spot to watch the sunset while sipping a drink, Nusa Penida Island has you covered. They include:
Kelingking Beach is the most well-known site in Nusa Penida. There is a big lookout with breathtaking views of the T-Rex's spine, surrounding cliffs, and the beautiful white sand beach below.
Just a 5-minute walk from Angel's Billabong comes to Broken Beach. With amazing ocean and cliff views, watching the waves smashing on the coast is mesmerizing.
Angel's Billabong is one of the most stunning sites in Nusa Penida and should be on your list of things to do. It's close to Broken Beach, so you can visit the two sites in one day. The naturally created rock lagoon provides a beautiful seascape. You may swim or bathe in its crystal-clear rock pools, but only during low tide.
Atuh is located on the east side of Penida, distant from everything else. The beach is reached through a steep cliffside stairway, and the top view is stunning.
Beaches exploration won't be complete without Diamond Beach. This east coast secret beach has quickly become recognized for its blue sea, magnificent rock formations, and stunning beach.
There are 750 blue stairs carved into the side of the rock that provides access to the waterfall. It's a nice exercise hiking down and then back up! You'll arrive at the sacred water temple with four waterspouts after a 20-minute stroll down the blue stairs. At the bottom, there's a little natural pool with crystal-clear water where you may cool yourself.
A few minutes' walk from Utah Beach takes you to another unique hotel. The hotel has a spectacular outlook since its houses are on top of trees. It's an excellent site to see a sunrise and get the ideal photo because it's on the island's east shore, and you can even hire it to stay overnight.
On Penida's western coast, Crystal Bay is noted for its high-end beach resorts and snorkeling. Snorkeling tours depart from Crystal Bay and often stop at Manta Point and Gamat Bay. Along the Crystal Bay beachfront, there are a variety of beach shack cafés, traditional temples, and colorful umbrellas, all of which overlook a beautiful cove and a nearby rocky island.
Teletubbies Hill features beautiful scenery with a variety of turfs. It is interesting flying the drone here, scoping out all the varied curves, valleys, and canyons in this region, and it is a perfect site to realize just how diverse the landscapes are in Nusa Penida.
You may kill two birds with one stone by visiting Rumah Pohon and Thousand Island Viewpoint on the same day. It's a lovely spot at any time of day; at dawn and sunset, the sky is a breathtaking orangey pink, and you can observe the deep blue water throughout the day.
Pura Goa Giri Putri Cave is one of Nusa Penida's most underestimated tourist attractions and should not be missed on your island explorations. At the cave's mouth is a temple with a statue of Dewi Kwam Im with traditional adornment Pagoda, which is decorated with numerous lanterns on the cave's ceiling. If you have the opportunity, try not to miss the cave adventure.
You can't go to Nusa Penida without stopping at Manta Point! Snorkeling here is a spectacular experience due to the beauty of the reefs and the diversity of marine life. Furthermore, you may swim together with the Manta Rays, which is not a common experience. Aside from swimming, you may also visit the Manta Viewpoint. Prepare to witness crystal-clear seas and manta rays moving below.
Tembeling Beach and Forest is a popular tourist destination on Nusa Penida Island. The beach is quiet, away from the rush and bustle of the main tourist areas (a 30-minute walk down to the forest). Although the beach is modest, its white sand, crystal-clear waves, and tranquil ambiance make it worthwhile to visit. After taking in the breathtaking views, descend the steep stairs to the Tembeling Natural Pools. There are two pools, the first of which is the larger. Despite its surroundings of cliffs, the pool's water is shockingly pure and blue.
Do you wish to meet your spiritual demands while on your adventure? Visit the Pura Dalem Ped, commonly known as the Penataran Ped Temple. It is one of the sacred temples on the island of Nusa Penida, close off the coast of Bali Island. It is considered one of the Pura Kahyangan Jagat, which indicates that Pura Penataran Agung Dalem Ped has long played a significant role in local and Balinese spiritual life. Pura Kahyangan Jagat translates as "universal temple," where everyone can engage in spiritual activities such as prayer and meditation.
So there you have it - the best activities to do in Nusa Penida! Whether you come to swim with mantas, see all the gorgeous scenery, or escape the crowds in Bali, I assure you you'll adore it!
