Full description

This is a 2-hour experience from Nusa Penida, built around Tirta empul temple, Ulu petanu waterfall and Tegalalang rice terace. It is run by Sweet Bali Tour (SBT), an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three islands off Bali's south-east coast, about 200 square kilometres of limestone with cliffs on the south and west and a few villages on the north coast where the boats land. It has no traffic to speak of but its roads are narrow and slow, which is why a day trip covers either the west side (Kelingking, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong) or the east (Diamond Beach, Atuh, Tree House), not both. Fast boats from Sanur take thirty to forty-five minutes, run from around 7:00, and are cancelled or delayed in a big swell. Bring cash: card machines are rare and the ATMs are unreliable.

The price covers Private driver and local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Air-conditioned private vehicle and Pre-booked entrance fees to scheduled attractions. It does not cover Meals, Personal expenses and Gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Begin your early morning adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Transfer comfortably to the starting point in Kint. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sweet Bali Tour (SBT) before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
