Nusa Penida certainly impressed. Here, I was able to fully feel the power and beauty of the ocean. Crowds only at Kelingking, in other places we spent a lot of time observing the magnificent waves or swimming without the crowds. The Pramana Natura hotel in Mediterranean style with an infinity pool just shocked (in a good way) with its romantic atmosphere, exquisite cuisine, and hospitality. I was incredibly sorry to leave. It was like a second honeymoon. Only lasting one day. The honeymoon suite with a luxurious canopy bed, balcony with a sofa, and a bathtub for two with a view of the Bali coast and Mount Agung. Luxury and pleasure! And the next morning we had snorkeling with wonderful guys - the boat was just for two. Only mantas weren't there. Leaving at 8:00 is too late. They feed near the shore early in the morning. But still, we swam wonderfully in four different places, saw a bunch of different fish, a huge spotted eagle ray, and a turtle. The trip was a success. However, it almost fell through at the very beginning because initially, when I booked the tour, I asked the manager if it was possible to pay the entrance tax to Nusa Penida in cash. She assured me it was. But in fact, only with a QR code, which is impossible for Russians due to the Visa card block. They flatly refused to accept cash. Thanks to our wonderful driver Rio. After some time he managed to somehow resolve this issue. Someone paid online for us. Overall, the driver is just gold. Both a DJ and an excellent guide - showed us great spots that many others don't know about. We had a fun day!

If you decide to leave самостоятельно and not wait for the driver, please note that compensation for the unused transfer or reimbursement for a taxi arranged independently is not provided.
There is an option to descend to Kelingking Beach during this tour; however, if descending and ascending take more than 2 hours, you may not have time to visit other locations or may need to extend your driver’s rental on-site.
Swimming at Diamond Beach / Kelingking Beach is prohibited and life-threatening due to the lack of facilities and strong waves.
If you arrive at the port much earlier than the boat's departure time, we recommend enjoying a cup of coffee at "Maruti Beach Club" located 100 meters from the port while waiting comfortably.
Upon arrival on Nusa Penida Island, an entry fee of Rp 25,000 / person must be paid.
Meals in restaurants and warungs are paid separately.

"MyBaliTrips" is not responsible for manta sightings during snorkeling (see clause 7.3 of user agreement).
Indonesian drivers may not always speak English; sometimes you'll need to take initiative to show them directions from parking to attractions.
On return trip, due to strong low tide on Nusa Penida Island, boarding may occur from shallow waters instead of from a pier. We recommend bringing coral slippers for comfortable boarding or disembarking.

Huge thanks to Manager Liliya for organizing the trip to Nusa Dua Island! She promptly offered program and accommodation options, with specific requests fully implemented. Everything went perfectly: the program perfectly matched the wishes, the hotel room was promptly booked, and everything with the ferry and individual snorkeling was at the highest level (swimming with mantas was a separate thrill and delight). Highly recommend!
Excellent 2 days on Nusa Penida! Convenient speedboat, a good car with a personal driver who took us to all the locations and took great photos. The hotel is wonderful, with panoramic views of the ocean and Mount Agung. The next day, we were picked up by a personal transfer and taken snorkeling. We saw huge mantas, sea turtles, and many beautiful fish and corals. Unforgettable two days! Thank you, MyBaliTrips
Overall, we liked everything, the guide explains more or less normally in English and helps with photos. The only note, instead of Cristal Bay, the guide took us to Tembeling Beach. And the restaurant he recommended was not of the highest quality.
