Everything was clearly communicated in advance, I received a whatsapp with clear instructions where to find them. The boat was right on time, everything went smoothly. I can recommend them.

A great day escaping to the island Nusa Penida for snorkelling and sight seeing. Our guide on the snorkelling tour was great and spent lots of time interacting with guests and taking photos for us to keep. We really appreciated this as it meant we could be left to simply enjoy our time. Both drivers were excellent and made us feel safe and welcome. Gede was our driver in Bali and his communication was excellent. During our ride, he shared lots of information about local customs and life, and gave us some recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to enjoy - thank you Gede!! Cobek was our driver on Nusa Penida for the island tour itself and we appreciate how he kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed. Nusa roads were very busy and travel can take some time, but we managed to see everything and still make it back with plenty of time to spare for check in. Huge thanks for taking care of us!! We would 100% recommend this tour as it was great value for money.

I really enjoyed this tour. It went to extremely beautiful areas of the island! My favorite spot for pictures was Broken Beach. And the scuba diving was an exciting way to start the day. My guides and drivers, Kadek on Nusa Pineda and Gede in Bali, were both so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

#The tour makes exploring Nusa Penida so much easier and fun - takes away all the stress of planning. We started off with snorkelling which was a beautiful experience. We stopped at 4 stops across Nusa Penida and our guide/photographer took care of everything, from instructions to pictures while making sure everyone was safe. Our car driver, Wayan took us around for the tour of the western side of the Island which included the beaches. He handled the whole tour with patience, made sure we were comfortable, clicked our pictures and showed us around. We really appreciate people going out of their way to make the trip easier for us. Really recommend this tour for the ease of it and the local people of Nusa Penida who are working on it.

Jungutbatu Beach

Withpostcard views of Mount Agung in the distance—a relaxed spot for surfers, beach cafés for fresh seafood and smoothies, and snorkelers gear up for underwater adventures just offshore.

Devil’s Tear

This spot delivers drama—waves crash into jagged cliffs, sending sea spray high into the air, especially during high tide. The thunderous sound and misty air make it one of Lembongan’s most captivating natural sights.

Dream Beach

A cozy cove perfect for sunbathing or grabbing a drink from a clifftop bar. With golden sand, clear blue water, and a few casual beach bars nearby, it’s a great stop for a swim or a chill drink.

Yellow Bridge

The iconic suspension bridge connecting Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Also called the “Bridge of Love,” only scooters and pedestrians can cross, so expect a peaceful stroll with ocean views below.

Seaweed Farms

Before tourism boomed, seaweed farming was the heart of Lembongan’s economy—and it’s still going strong in spots like Jungutbatu and Lembongan Bay.
