Nusa Penida
End your Bali adventure in Nusa Penida, one of the most stunning places we’ve ever visited. This island is a true paradise, with its breathtaking beaches, dramatic cliffs, and gorgeous viewpoints. While many people opt for a day trip from Bali, we strongly suggest staying at least one night to fully experience all that Nusa Penida has to offer. How to get to Nusa Penida: fast boat (around € 8) How to get around in Nusa Penida: private driver (around € 50)
Enjoy the views at Thousand Islands Viewpoint
Your first stop in Nusa Penida is the Thousand Islands Viewpoint, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding small islands, known as the "thousand islands." The sight of towering cliffs plunging into turquoise waters, with lush greenery clinging to the edges, is truly magical. The entrance fee is just 25,000 IDR (around € 1,50).
It only takes a few minutes to your next stop.
Discover Diamond Beach
Continue to Diamond Beach, renowned for its striking beauty and dramatic cliffs. The beach is nestled between towering limestone formations, and the pristine white sand is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. It’s not the best place if you want to do a lot of swimming, but you can take a walk along the shore or simply lounge and soak up the sun. It’s definitely postcard-worthy!
It takes around 1 hour to reach Nusa Penida’s absolute highlight!
Sunset at Kelingking ‘T-Rex’ viewpoint
Wrap up your day with a visit to the Kelingking ‘T-Rex’ viewpoint, Nusa Penida’s most famous attraction. The viewpoint offers a spectacular view of a cliff resembling a T-Rex dinosaur when looking straight from above. Below, you’ll find a beautiful secluded beach that’s only accessible by hiking down a pretty steep and strenuous path. Kelingking is by far the most popular place on the island, but by coming at sunset (rather than sunrise) you will not notice the crowds at all! The light that shines at sunset will make this beautiful place even more magical, too. A spot you just cannot miss on Nusa Penida!
