Sanur to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

D
The ride was good, dropped us off on time. But the boat was stuffy and the interior looked a bit dirty. If you're in a hurry or don't have much options chose Angkal. You have many other options of speed boats too.

Boarding was half an hour late. Boat was very hot and there were not enough life jackets.

You’re crammed in like sardines. Can’t have windows open due to water splashing in. The air is hot and oppressive. The life jackets stink like body odor. Fans stopped working halfway through. There has to be a better way to make this trip than to stuff everyone into a hot, crowded, dark and stinky space.

Convenient way to get to the Penida island from Sanur Harbour under 1 hour. The speedy boat was alright, clean, safe, bit worn out. The crew were helpful.

We took the 12:30 (Wijaya) buyuk fastboat from sanur to buyuk harbour (nusa penida). We started by 12:40 and it took 50 mins to reach NP even though on the ticket it said 30 mins. The coordinates provided in the confirmation was helpful to reach the office location. The journey was smooth and not many people. It was a comfortable journey overall. However one thing I have noticed is that on the 12go app, there are 2 different amount for the same journey one highlighted as fastest (with higher amount)and mentions fastest and the other at the same time but higher time to reach (50 mins in my case). Both are same and seems to be a scam which we definitely fell into. There was only 1 ferry at that time regardless of which ticket was purchased. So my suggestion is if there are 2 different priced ticket at the same time, go with the one a bit less priced. It's all the same.

How hard is it to get around in Nusa Penida?

Getting around in Nusa Penida can be challenging due to its rugged terrain and limited public transportation. Most visitors rent scooters, which cost around IDR 70,000-100,000 per day ($5-7). Roads can be narrow and poorly maintained, so confident riding skills are necessary.

Alternatively, hiring a private driver for a day costs about IDR 600,000-800,000 ($40-55), offering convenience and local knowledge. Taxis are not widely available, so pre-arranging transport is advisable. Walking is feasible in small village areas but not for long distances or between major attractions.

Always carry a map or use GPS for navigation, as signage can be sparse.

What is Nusa Penida like in winter?

Winter in Nusa Penida, which coincides with the rainy season from November to March, features warm temperatures averaging 27°C (81°F). Expect tropical showers, which can sometimes be heavy, affecting road conditions and visibility in the waters for diving or snorkeling.

Transportation: Roads can be challenging due to potholes and muddy conditions, so renting a scooter (~70,000 IDR/day, $4.50) or hiring a private driver is advisable.

Places to Visit: Attractions like Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong remain accessible, though caution is needed on wet trails.

Dining: Enjoy local eateries offering Indonesian staples such as nasi goreng. Meals typically cost around 35,000 IDR ($2.25).
