Full description

This is a 1-day experience from Nusa Penida, built around Mangrove Point. It is run by Lembongan Water Sport, 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 Hotel pickup and drop off, 1-hour use of kayak board, 1-hour use of paddle board for paddle board option, 1-hour use of transparent kayak and 1-hour use of a transparent boat. It does not cover Food and drinks and Waterproof case/bags, 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.

Hotel pickup in Nusa Penida. Lembongan Water Sport confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Lembongan Water Sport before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The place was beautiful, Rian was my guide and he was really knowledgeable and kind. He went even beyond the kayaking explaining me about the mangroves and the area . We even got to plant a mangrove since the tie was low . It was a beautiful moment helping Mother Earth to growth. And also we saw fishes , crabs and star fishes. Thanks so much really enjoyed it :)

Really calm and peaceful! The driver was also the guide who was informative and knowledgeable. He spoke good English and said he tries all the time to learn more. Very helpful and friendly. Beautiful place, we saw a purple crab and star fish

The perfect way to discover Mangrove Point. We took a transparent kayak out with our hilarious and easygoing guide Rian (the island boy) and we even got to see the sunset! Gorgeous views and excellent spot for photos (thank you for all of the pictures you took for us, Rian!). It was very easy to find and it lasts for about an hour, if you're looking for something simple and mesmerising, you found it.

Kayaking through the Mangroves was a great way to spend an hour. My guide Wayan was funny and did all the paddling so I could take in the scenery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Nusa Penida. Lembongan Water Sport confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover food and drinks and waterproof case/bags. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
The strait to Nusa Penida and the manta sites take open-ocean swell. On big days the operator diverts to sheltered sites or cancels the crossing, and that is their call on the morning, not ours. If a cancellation is theirs you are refunded in full. Keep phones and passports in a dry bag; boarding at some harbours means wading from the beach.
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.
