Going to the island with Nusa Penida tours

Another option is to go to the island with a tour you buy from Bali. Tourism agencies in Bali offer tour packages to those who want to explore Nusa Penida. These packages usually include ferry transfer, guide service on the island and some tourist attractions. By choosing a tour package, you can make both transportation and exploring the island easier.







Things to pay attention

Don't forget to check the weather forecast. If waves are high, ferry services may be cancelled.
I recommend purchasing your ticket in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season.
It is generally more convenient to buy roundtrip tickets together. Don't forget to check this option!
Carry sun protection products such as sunscreen, hat and sunglasses with you.
Since there are not many ATMs on the island, it is useful to have cash with you.

I hope this information was helpful for your adventurous trip to Nusa Penida! Don't forget to take unforgettable photos at Dinosaur Beach and enjoy this unique island!
