Exploring Nusa Penida

For thousands of years the local communities on Nusa Penida had a profound connection with the land and sea. They developed unique techniques for fishing and grew crops that reflected their deep understanding of the island’s ecosystems. They also created intricate handicrafts that showcased their artistry. These indigenous practices allowed them to live in balance with nature, while at the same time sustaining their livelihoods.

This area is a world away from the bustling crowds of Bali and offers visitors an opportunity to experience untouched nature, traditional villages, and ancient temples. It is also a great place for active travelers, offering numerous trails for hiking and bike riding.

The most popular way to explore Nusa Penida is by renting a scooter. The paved roads make it easy to get around and the scooters are cheap to rent (around $15/day). If you don’t want to drive, there are plenty of taxis and drivers that will take you to the main attractions for a reasonable price.

If you plan to visit Nusa Penida, it is best to do so from November to April. This is the rainy season and it’s less crowded. If you love photography the best months are from March to May when the hills are covered in bright green foliage.nusa penida private boat tour
