One Day Nusa Penida Island West & East

Our driver, Gede R, made our East and West Nusa Penida trip truly memorable. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the island. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey and helped us reach all the best spots smoothly and on time. Gede R was also very patient and accommodating, always willing to adjust the itinerary and help us take great photos at each location. His driving was safe and confident, even on the challenging island roads, which made us feel completely at ease.

We did a day trip to Nusa Penida and wanted to explore the whole island and had such a wonderful experience. Our guide was super friendly and answered all the questions we had about the local culture, religion, and life. the pickup was also super easy and handled. He had everything planned and also asked us along the way to see what we were feeling in the moment. Loved it all.

I want to start by saying that the staff and guides were incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating. This review is not about them!!! But it’s about how the tour itself is structured. I don’t think it’s advertised clearly enough that the majority of this trip is spent driving on extremely bumpy roads. Our scheduled departure was 8:00 a.m., but the ferry didn’t actually leave until around 8:30, and we didn’t arrive on the island until about 9:15. From there, we drove approximately 1.5 hours to Diamond Beach, where we only had about 30 minutes. We then drove another 5 minutes to the Tree House, but because of the long lines, heat, and stairs, we spent less than 2 minutes there before having to leave. We were also under the impression that there would be opportunities to swim at these locations, but this tour does not include any swimming but just sight seeing. After that, we drove about 30 minutes to lunch, which was decent, followed by another hour-long drive to the next destination, and so on. Overall, the vast majority of the day was spent in a cramped, smelly vehicle with poor air conditioning rather than enjoying the sights. If I were to do Nusa Penida again, I would choose either the East or West tour instead of trying to fit everything into one day. You’d likely spend much less time in the car and have more time to actually enjoy each location. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this particular itinerary.

as a solo traveler, you never know what type of experience you’ll get. I had an amazing time with Kadek as my driver. He took care of me and made sure I got as many pics and videos as I wanted. The ride was comfortable besides bumpy roads, having AC was amazing, and I got stay at each spot for as long as I wanted. I would definitely book again and highly recommend. Communication was great from the day before about meeting points and the plan for the day.

Komang was the absolute BEST! Very friendly, helpful, all smiles, and informational. He made me feel so comfortable as a young female solo traveler. He even went down an intense trail with me in the hot weather JUST so he can help me take pictures, because he knew I was alone. He went the extra mile! The trip was definitely a bumpy ride, but he took his time and drove very carefully and got us to places in a timely manner. I love Komang!!!!!!

Very nice experience where you can see the main spots of the island Nusa Penida.

Best price! Best experience! Best driver! Everybody Mantap!
