Transportation on Nusa Penida primarily involves renting scooters or hiring private drivers, as public transportation is limited. Renting a scooter costs around IDR 70,000-100,000 per day ($5-$7). Ensure you have a valid international driving license and wear a helmet for safety. Alternatively, hiring a private car with a driver typically costs about IDR 600,000-900,000 for a full day ($40-$60). This option is recommended for those unfamiliar with local driving conditions, as roads can be narrow and uneven.
For shorter distances, you can also negotiate rides with local ojek (motorbike taxis). Always agree on the fare beforehand. Walking is feasible in some areas but not recommended for longer distances due to the island's size and hilly terrain.
It is generally recommended to use bottled water for brushing your teeth in Nusa Penida. Tap water on the island is not considered safe for drinking or oral hygiene purposes due to potential contamination. To avoid any health issues, you should use bottled or filtered water, which is readily available in local shops and accommodations.
Respect local customs by dressing modestly, especially when visiting temples. Remove shoes and wear a sarong if required. Note that public displays of affection may be frowned upon.
Water tap quality is not safe for drinking; rely on bottled water to avoid health risks.
When exploring beaches and cliffs, prioritize safety. Avoid swimming in areas with strong currents, and be cautious near cliff edges.
Renting a scooter is a popular way to explore, but ensure you have a valid international driving license and wear a helmet. Daily rentals are around IDR 70,000-100,000 ($4.50-$6.50).
Respect local wildlife and do not disturb marine life when snorkeling or diving.
Avoid littering to help preserve the island's natural beauty. Dispose of trash properly and recycle where possible.
Be cautious of scams, particularly with transport and activities. Confirm prices beforehand and use reputable service providers.
