Kelingking Beach you can enjoy the sweeping views from a purpose-built platform, which is bordered by bamboo fences. If you dare the challenging trek down to the beach, make sure it’s during low tide. Some sections of the path can be steep, requiring a bit of rock climbing, especially on the way back up. Locals have put rocks and bamboos to aid visitors over the years. Once you’ve reached the sand, you’ll have it all to yourself most of the time. Depending on tide conditions, the waters are swimmable. However, note that the undercurrents can be strong, and being the remote site that it is, there are no lifeguards around.

Broken Beach spot is marked by a hilly arch-like rock formation, which is the distinguishable landmark of the area. Set over the crashing waves of the open Indian Ocean, Broken Beach is a great spot for travel photographers and panoramic view seekers. The adjacent area is also home to grey long-tailed macaques. If you’re lucky, you may spot silhouettes of giant mantas near the surface of the deep blue water.The journey to Broken Beach is an overland adventure through Nusa Penida’s rugged limestone terrain. Most of the pathways are rocky and unpaved. The majority of people rent a motorbike to reach Broken Beach. It will take around two hours to reach this corner from the main harbour area in Nusa Penida’s north-western tip. Once you get to Broken Beach, you’ll be rewarded by a truly sweeping seascape.

You can descend into its crystal-clear rock pools for a swim or a soak, but only during low tide. The rock pools are one of the must-sees for visitors to Nusa Penida. The island itself is famous for its beautiful cliffs and pristine coastlines. Both Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach are very popular sites here. However, you’ll most likely have this amazing natural infinity pool all to yourself on your visit. It’s a good idea to explore Broken Beach first nearby. Take in the splendour of its natural limestone arches over the blue waters. Then, head off to take a dip and perhaps a swim in the natural pools of Angel’s Billabong.

Incredible marine and land spots!! Everything was well organized from start to finish. Only downside: the announcement stated a French guide, but that was not the case.
The whole experience was very smooth, from getting picked up from our hotel right on time by the nicest guy, Budi, to arriving at Nusa Penida and snorkeling with the manta rays was breathtaking. The water was a bit rough, but we saw around 4-5 HUGE mantas which made it totally worth it. We snorkeled at three spots for 15 minutes each which we thought was the perfect amount of time. They even took pictures on their GoPro for free, and you could request videos too if you wanted. The guide was so kind and met us at the port to take us right where we needed to meet the boat. After we were finished, we were able to choose what time we wanted to take the ferry back to Bali, so we chose to eat lunch in Nusa Penida and ride it back a little later. Our awesome driver Komang was waiting for us at the port in Bali when we returned, and we loved that our drive was super safe and peaceful. He was great!! Communication was awesome via WhatsApp throughout the day. Would recommend!!
Budhi, our driver from bali to the port and back, was absolutely amazing. He was so nice and talkative.
Drivers/ tour guides were all excellent We enjoyed lunch and touring the island. Snorkeling was bad due to high winds - missed first stop altogether because of rough sea. We opted to stay on the boat at second stop because of all the floating trash and debris!
Awesome trip, our driver was lovely and very helpful with directions and showing us where to go, the snorkeling spots were spectacular even on a slightly overcast day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone thinking about booking a tour
Budi was a phenominal guide, ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see and get the perfect pictures. He also was very insightful answering all the questions we asked. He made our day trip so enjoyable!
The 2 drivers (on Bali for transfers and on Nusa Penida) were excellent however the tour stated “private tour, only your group will participate “ but the snorkelling was on a boat of 25 people with all the issues of then coordinating a big group, trying to see fish etc with lots of people and no room on board. There are many boats doing the same trip so chances of seeing larger fish will be limited but we were lucky to see 2 turtles (but no manta’s). The trip was advertised as 6-8 hours but took 13 mainly due to delays on return due to the need to queue off the beach for a small boat to take us back on the ‘fast boat’ transfer back to Bali. This was organised last minute with no advice so the coral under the waterline line off the sandy beach wasn’t seen until you starting walking on it and was very sharp. We have messaged the company about these issues 3 days ago but have not yet had a reply.
We had an amazing time! Our guide was warm, attentive, and went out of their way to show us the least crowded spots for the best photos. Communication was clear and timely throughout. The car was comfortable with great air conditioning, and everything was perfectly organised — from hotel pickup and drop off to the ferry transfers. If you’re after a hassle-free way to explore Nusa Penida, I highly recommend this tour 👍
Very good experience! Kind, funny and professional’ Thanks to our guide/driver Buddy! Very patient and kind! Happy with their company in this experience!
My partner and I were very impressed by our driver Buddy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made the entire trip very memorable his employer should be very proud of him and the 🐕🦺 ce he supplies to customers I would go ve him a ten out of ten
