Nusa Penida Day Tour Kelingking Broken and Angels Bay

Discovering Nusa Penida: a full-day adventure from Ubud
This Nusa Penida day tour, priced at $67 per person, packs in some of Bali’s most stunning natural sights—Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angels Billabong—all within about 10 to 12 hours.

From the moment we’re picked up early in the morning to our return late afternoon, the focus is on hassle-free exploration and incredible photo opportunities.

What we love about this tour is the flexibility it offers—with your own private driver and car once on the island, you can spend as much time as you like at each stop. Plus, the included delicious Indonesian lunch by the beach is a perfect recharge.

Nusa Penida has quietly earned a reputation as the island of wild, dramatic landscapes and some of Bali’s most photographed spots. This tour makes it easy to tick off its most famous attractions without the stress of planning logistics or navigating unfamiliar terrain. From Ubud, the journey begins with a short drive to Sanur Harbour, where a modernized port and quick speedboat take you across the Bali Strait in about 30 minutes. You’ll get a taste of the island’s accessibility right from the start, even as you prepare for the rugged beauty ahead.

Once on Nusa Penida, the experience shifts to a private driver—a real luxury that means you’re not stuck behind a large group or following a set schedule. This flexibility is a highlight, according to numerous reviews. Guides like Wayan and Mangku receive high praise for their helpfulness, knowledge, and friendly attitude. They not only navigate the sometimes tricky roads but also help you capture those perfect shots, making the day both visually rewarding and comfortable.

Kelingking Beach: the cliff that needs no introduction

Our first stop, Kelingking Beach, is undoubtedly the star of the tour. Imagine a cliff-shaped like T-Rex, towering above a hidden white-sand cove. It’s so iconic that it’s become a symbol of Nusa Penida—and for good reason. The view from the viewpoint is breathtaking, and the steep descent to the beach below offers a challenging hike that some brave souls take on, though most visitors prefer to enjoy the vista from above.

Reviews consistently highlight the spectacular scenery here. One reviewer mentions that the view is like a postcard, and others note how helpful guides are in helping you find the best angles without getting lost in the crowds. The only caution is that the cliff edge can be exposed and steep, so it’s not suitable for everyone. The free admission makes it accessible but also means it gets busy, especially during peak times.

Broken Beach and Angels Billabong: natural wonders

Next, you’ll visit Broken Beach (Pasih Uug), where a massive circular hole in a cliff creates a natural cove with stunning turquoise waters. It’s a dramatic landscape, shaped over centuries by the relentless power of the ocean. From the vantage point, the view is spectacular—perfect for photos and appreciating nature’s artistry.

Adjacent is Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool carved into limestone, offering a serene, crystal-clear tide pool that looks almost surreal. Several reviews praise the tranquil beauty of Angels Billabong, describing it as a “surreal and peaceful setting” where you can just soak in the scenery or snap some memorable shots.

Crystal Bay: a perfect beach escape

After touring the iconic sites, the group typically heads to Crystal Bay for a relaxing hour. Known for its soft white sand and clear waters, it’s an ideal spot for a quick swim or simply unwinding beneath the palms. The bay’s small rocky islet off the coast adds to its charm and makes for lovely photos.

Reviews mention the helpful guide Edy and the guide’s effort to find the best photo spots, making the experience personal and memorable. The gentle atmosphere here contrasts beautifully with the rugged cliffs and natural arches seen earlier.

What the tour includes and how it works

The entire day is designed for comfort and efficiency. Starting at 7:00 am with pickup from your hotel, the trip includes a fast boat transfer, admission to the key sites, and lunch by the beach. Your private driver then takes you from one highlight to the next, giving you the freedom to linger or speed up as you please.

The duration of about 10 to 12 hours ensures you see the main sights without feeling rushed. The admission to Broken Beach, Angels Billabong, and Crystal Bay is included in the price, so there are no surprise fees. The tour is tailored to small groups or private parties, allowing for a relaxed pace and personalized attention.

Authentic insights from travelers

The reviews paint a picture of a well-organized, authentic experience. Many travelers mention their guides’ helpfulness, friendliness, and local knowledge. For example, one reviewer states, “Our guide (Edy) was absolutely fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much more enjoyable.” Others highlight how guides find the best photo spots and navigate the sometimes bumpy roads efficiently.

The photos and videos taken by guides are often praised—many reviewers say their guides “looked after us very well and took lots of photos” or “shared great insights and made sure everyone felt comfortable.” That personal touch elevates the experience beyond just sightseeing.

The value of this tour

At $67, this tour offers excellent value for a full day of exploring some of Bali’s most stunning natural sights. The price covers the boat transfer, site admissions, lunch, and private transportation, which would be complicated and more expensive to organize independently. Plus, the ease of having guides who know the island’s hidden photo spots and how to avoid crowds is invaluable.

The reviews suggest the attention to safety and comfort—drivers like Wayan and Mangku are praised for their skill and friendly demeanor. The included lunch and the flexibility to explore at your own pace make the day both enjoyable and hassle-free.

If you’re someone looking for breathtaking scenery without the hassle of planning every detail, this tour fits perfectly. It’s ideal for couples, solo travelers, small groups, or photography enthusiasts who want to capture Bali’s wild beauty. If you prefer organized, guided experiences with a personal touch, the high ratings and positive reviews speak for themselves.

However, if you’re sensitive to rough roads or tight cliff edges, be aware that some parts of the trip involve bumpy rides and steep viewpoints. The tour’s pace is relaxed enough to accommodate most, but a certain level of comfort with adventure is recommended.

This Nusa Penida day tour embodies authentic Bali—stunning landscapes, friendly guides, and a smooth itinerary that maximizes sightseeing while minimizing stress. It balances value and comfort beautifully, making it an excellent choice for those who want to see Bali’s hidden gems in one day.

The enthusiastic reviews about guides like Wayan, Edy, and Maha highlight the importance of local expertise and personal care. The incredible views, from the T-Rex-shaped cliffs of Kelingking Beach to the tranquil tide pools of Angels Billabong, ensure you’ll leave with memories that last long after your trip.
