Staying in Ubud and planning to visit Nusa Penida for a day?

A Nusa Penida Private Day Trip from Ubud is a convenient way to explore the island without arranging separate transportation between your hotel, Sanur Harbour, and Nusa Penida.

The tour includes pickup and return to your Ubud hotel, return fast boat transportation, private transportation in Nusa Penida, a local English-speaking driver, and lunch.

This day trip focuses on the beautiful attractions of East Nusa Penida, including Atuh Beach, Diamond Beach, Tree House Molenteng, and Thousand Island Viewpoint.

Why Take a Nusa Penida Day Trip from Ubud?

Ubud is located in central Bali, while Sanur Harbour is the main departure point for fast boats to Nusa Penida.

Traveling independently means arranging transportation from Ubud to Sanur, the fast boat to Nusa Penida, transportation around the island, and the return journey to Ubud.

With a private day trip, these parts of the journey are arranged as one trip.

Your journey follows this general route:

Ubud Hotel → Sanur Harbour → Nusa Penida → Sanur Harbour → Ubud Hotel

Because the day starts early and involves travel between several locations, it is important to allow enough time for the complete journey.

East Nusa Penida Attractions

The tour focuses on some of the most popular attractions in the eastern part of Nusa Penida.

Goa Giri Putri Cave Temple

Goa Giri Putri is a sacred cave temple located inside a large limestone cave.

The entrance to the cave is surprisingly narrow, but it opens into a much larger space inside. The cave is an important place of worship for local Balinese people.

Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and respect local temple rules when visiting.

Atuh Beach

Atuh Beach is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and unusual rock formations.

The beach area can be reached by stairs, while the viewpoint above provides beautiful views of the coastline and ocean.

It is a good place to enjoy the scenery and take photographs.

Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach is one of the most famous attractions in East Nusa Penida.

From the top of the cliff, you can see the white-sand beach, turquoise water, and impressive limestone formations.

There is a staircase leading down toward the beach, but visitors can also enjoy the spectacular scenery from the viewpoint above.

Tree House Molenteng

Tree House Molenteng, also known as Rumah Pohon, is a popular viewpoint and photo location near the Thousand Island area.

The traditional wooden tree house is located on the cliffside and overlooks the ocean and surrounding islands.

Thousand Island Viewpoint

Thousand Island Viewpoint, also known as Raja Lima, offers panoramic views of the coastline and small islands scattered across the sea.

The viewpoint is located close to Tree House Molenteng, making it convenient to visit both during the same part of the itinerary.

From Ubud to Nusa Penida

Your private day trip normally begins with early morning pickup from your Ubud hotel.

Your driver will take you to the Sanur area, where you will continue by fast boat to Nusa Penida.

After arriving on the island, your local driver will meet you and begin the East Nusa Penida tour.

The exact departure and arrival times can vary depending on the fast boat schedule, weather, sea conditions, traffic, and local operations.

For this reason, the itinerary should be considered flexible rather than following an exact timetable.

Private Transportation in Nusa Penida

After arriving in Nusa Penida, you will travel by private car with a local English-speaking driver.

Private transportation is especially convenient for travelers coming from Ubud because the island's attractions are spread across different areas and some roads can be narrow or bumpy.

Your driver will take you between the attractions and help you understand the local area during the trip.

Lunch Included

Lunch is included during the East Nusa Penida day trip.

You will have lunch at a local restaurant during the tour before continuing to the remaining attractions.

If you have specific dietary requirements, please let us know when making your booking.

Return to Ubud

After visiting the selected East Nusa Penida attractions, you will return to the harbour for the fast boat back to Bali.

Once you arrive in Sanur, your private transportation will continue to your Ubud hotel.

The tour ends at your Ubud hotel, not at Sanur Harbour.

The exact return time depends on the fast boat schedule and road conditions on the day.

What Is Included?

The private East Nusa Penida day trip from Ubud includes:

• Pickup from your Ubud hotel
• Return transfer to your Ubud hotel
• Return fast boat transportation between Bali and Nusa Penida
• Private transportation in Nusa Penida
• Local English-speaking driver
• Lunch
• Mineral water

Is a Nusa Penida Day Trip from Ubud Worth It?

A day trip is a good option if you have limited time in Bali but still want to experience Nusa Penida.

However, it is a long day, especially when starting from Ubud. You will need to leave your hotel early and spend several hours traveling between Bali and Nusa Penida.

For travelers who want to see the main East Nusa Penida highlights in one day, this can be a convenient option.

If you prefer a slower experience with more time at each attraction, staying overnight on Nusa Penida may be a better choice.

Travel Tips

• Start early and have breakfast before leaving your hotel.
• Wear comfortable shoes because some attractions involve stairs and walking.
• Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
• Bring enough drinking water for the day.
• Keep your itinerary flexible because boat schedules, weather, traffic, and crowds can affect travel time.
• Book in advance, especially during weekends and busy travel periods.
