Penida Island

Penida Ice Land is a breathtaking natural wonder! The island offers stunning views with multiple beaches on different sides, all part of the same sea. The scenery is perfect for photography, with dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters. However, keep in mind that the weather is extremely hot, and you can’t actually go down to the beaches—only admire them from above. The journey to the island is by ferry, adding to the adventure. A must-visit for nature lovers and photographers!

The island’s natural beauty was amplified by the fresh greenery and crystal blue ocean , and the occasional rain added a refreshing touch. Though some roads were a bit challenging, the stunning cliffs, beaches, and tranquil vibe made it all worthwhile. Definitely a trip to remember!

This doesn’t look like a real place, but trust me it is! The pictures don’t even do it justice. The island is worth the 30 minute speedboat ride over. Once I went over onto the island, I stopped at a beach club and schedule a snorkeling excursion to manta point and a visit to the famous beaches.

Beautiful island, but the roads sucks need better roads to make i safer, i went to diamond beach and suwehan beach, Diamond beach didnt find the way to go down to the beach and to Suwehan beach i almost got attacked by monkeys 🙉 so i went back as i didnt want to put my self in danger situation.

Our visit to Nusa Penida was a unique experience, thanks to the East Nusa Penida tour organized by CASPLA Bali Group and Gan Bali Tour and Transport. The natural beauty of the island is undeniable, and locations like Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, Tree House, and Thousand Islands Viewpoint offer breathtaking views that are picture-perfect. The ferry ride with CASPLA Bali Fast Boat was comfortable, though it did get a bit hot inside. Once we arrived, our driver, who was incredibly friendly and helpful, made the trip much more enjoyable by taking great photos for us and sharing insights about the locations. The car was spacious, but there was a slight smell that could be improved. Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach are stunning, and we even enjoyed a quick snack at Tropical Cliff with a mesmerizing view of Atuh Beach. The chicken omelet and club sandwich were tasty, though the drinks (especially the free black coffee and iced tea) could have been better. The restaurant had a slight odor, but the view made up for it. For lunch, included in our package, we visited Cubang Kori Yuda Restaurant. The fried noodles and French fries were decent (8/10), but the drinks could use improvement (2/10). The Thousand Islands Viewpoint was a highlight, but we recommend caution—it’s a physically demanding trek with many stairs, and you’ll need to pace yourself. We treated ourselves to a refreshing strawberry-kiwi sorbet stick there, which was delicious! One thing to note is that the roads in Nusa Penida are narrow, bumpy, and challenging, causing a bit of dizziness during the day. While the island has its charm, for us, coming from the Maldives, we couldn’t help but compare. Nusa Penida is beautiful, but we feel the Maldives offers even more pristine beaches and luxurious experiences. Overall, if you’re looking for an adventure with stunning views and a chance to explore unique locations, Nusa Penida is worth visiting. Just be prepared for some minor inconveniences along the way!

Overrated and expensive island. Also dangerous if you are not careful or whilst travelling by boat (google how many deaths happened there). There are only 2 locations that are nice (broken beach and the other one next to it) but even to get there is a 1h car ride on a VERY bad and narrow road. Snorkelling is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. You see just a couple of fish and the ocean has very strong currents and waves. If we knew how it is we wouldn’t have wasted our time and money on it!

1, very beautiful and amazing scenaries 2, road conditions to scenaries has many many holes just like moon. The road also very narrow with just barely allow 2 cars to pass through 3, You can't do a day trip by visiting east coast and west coast, at most 1 at east and 1 at west

To sum it up: Stunning views but a few things to be wary of: dangerous water, rough travel, and slow/limited food options Ferrying back and forth from Bali to Nusa Penida is relatively easy. Traffic on the island is not great, I'd definitely recommend renting a bike and NOT a car. it takes roughly 30-45 minutes to get anywhere around the island. There are a few good places to swim but Id be very careful because the island has dangerous currents and riptides. We snorkeled for manta rays but only saw one far away. The snorkeling is a good experience if you want to see fish, theres a good variety and lots of coral to look at the. The overall natural structures of the island are beautiful, large cliffs and caves are less common in Indonesia compared to the sand beaches. All the restaurants we went to took upwards of an hour for food to arrive. If you're okay with taking things slow its a great trip! I'd try to stay away from the touristy things and just enjoy the views!
