Nusa Penida, an island southeast of Bali, Indonesia, offers dramatic landscapes including towering coastal cliffs, pristine beaches, and unique geological formations. Key attractions include Kelingking Beach (T-Rex Bay), Angel's Billabong, Broken Beach (Pasih Uug), and numerous snorkeling and diving spots with vibrant marine life including manta rays. Accessibility can be challenging, with some roads being unpaved and steep; consider hiring a scooter or a private driver for transportation. Solo travel is possible but requires confidence in navigating potentially rough terrain. Guided tours are readily available and recommended for first-timers or those preferring a hassle-free experience. The dry season (April to October) is the best time to visit, avoiding the heavy rains and rough seas of the wet season. A typical day trip costs around $50-$100 USD, including transportation and activities, but multi-day trips allow for a more relaxed exploration. Expect to spend at least 2-3 days to see the island's highlights, though longer stays are rewarded with quieter experiences.
