Experience the Best of Nusa Penida in a Day

A trip to Nusa Penida offers an unforgettable glimpse into some of Bali’s most iconic natural wonders—if you’re looking for a full day of adventure, this all-inclusive private tour from Ubud hits the mark. For a reasonable $76 per person, you’ll spend around 8 to 10 hours exploring Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach, Kelingking Cliff, and Crystal Bay. The tour includes boat transfers, hotel pickup, and a local guide, making it a seamless way to tick off some of the island’s most photographed spots.
What we really like about this experience is how it balances structured sightseeing with enough flexibility to enjoy each stop at your own pace. The small group size (max five people per vehicle) ensures a more intimate atmosphere, and the local guides are praised for their friendly attitude and good English.

Detailed Breakdown of the Experience

Starting Point: Sanur Beach and the Boat Ride
The adventure begins early, with hotel pickup around 6:00 AM in Ubud or nearby areas. From there, you’ll head to Sanur harbor for a 30-minute boat ride across the strait to Nusa Penida. This part of the trip is straightforward, and the boat tickets are included, allowing you to relax and enjoy the sea breeze. Several reviews mention the smooth transfer and the friendly attitude of the boat staff, which adds to the overall comfort.
First Stop: Pasih Uug (Broken Beach)
Your first destination is the famous Broken Beach with its big circular hole in the cliff, a truly surreal sight. It takes roughly 45 minutes to reach from the harbor, and the entrance fee is included. Here, you’ll get about an hour to wander around, take photos, and marvel at the natural archway. One reviewer describes it as a “very unique spot” that’s perfect for snapping memorable pictures.
Angel’s Billabong: A Natural Wonder
Next, about 20 minutes away, is Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool over the cliff that faces the Indian Ocean. This spot is admired for its clear turquoise waters and the spectacular cliff backdrop. Expect around an hour here to do some light exploring and enjoy the views. Many travelers comment on how beautiful and photogenic this area is, making it a highlight of the day.
Kelingking Beach: The Iconic T-Rex Cliff
The famous Kelingking Cliff, often called the “T-Rex”, is about 30 minutes from Angel’s Billabong. The trek to the viewpoint is relatively easy, but the steep descent to the beach requires proper footwear and a bit of caution. You’ll get about an hour here—plenty of time for photos and soaking in the breathtaking vistas. One reviewer says, “Snap your picture here for the unforgettable moment,” emphasizing its popularity for capturing that “once-in-a-lifetime” shot.
Crystal Bay: Relaxation and Refreshment
Finally, about 45 minutes from Kelingking, is Crystal Bay, a white sandy beach ideal for a quick swim or simply unwinding before heading back. The inclusion of lunch at this point not only recharges you but also offers a chance to enjoy some local flavors in a beautiful setting. Reviews note the top-notch lunch and the relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a bit of downtime after a busy morning of sightseeing.
Return Trip: Boat and Drop-offs
After enjoying Crystal Bay, you’ll head back to the harbor, and the boat ride takes around 30 minutes. Your guide will ensure a smooth transfer back to your hotel or accommodation in Ubud or nearby areas, concluding the day’s adventure.
