Sanur to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

Worst experience ever! Do yourself a favor and never book with 12go. Their support team is absolutely terrible and will never get back to you. We had our departure and never received the confirmation email. We reached out to the customer service support team but in vain. Terrible service

No information was provided where to check in and it was a different pier for each company. Need to walk from one place to another looking for their office with whole family of 5. The employees are not friendly at all. The seats are uncomfortable and not enough room for legs.

It was a smooth ride. It was late, we started to board after 10.00 for a boat that was supposed to leave at that time. But the journey was fine

Processing at Maruti HQ: A bit chaotic. Boarding: So So. No prior announcement about safety on board (what to do in an emergency, use of life vests, etc.) Ride: The vessel was almost full. A bit bumpy but otherwise OK.

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).

Water Safety: Tap water is not safe for drinking; it is recommended to use bottled water.

Travelers should pack rain gear and plan for flexible itineraries due to weather variability.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
