Getting there

Boat

To reach Nusa Penida from Bali, start by heading to Sanur Beach, which is a popular departure point for boats. You can take a local taxi or use a ride-hailing app like Gojek or Grab to get there. Once at Sanur Beach, look for the ticket booths for fast boats to Nusa Penida. Purchase a ticket, and be sure to check the schedule, as boats typically leave in the morning and return in the afternoon. The boat ride will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on sea conditions. Once you arrive at Nusa Penida, you will dock at either Toya Pakeh or Sampalan Harbor. From there, you can hire a local driver, rent a scooter, or join a tour to explore the island.

Public Transport

If you prefer to use public transport, you can first take a minibus (bemo) from your location in Bali to Sanur Beach. Bemos are a cheap way to travel, but they may take longer and involve several stops. Once you reach Sanur Beach, follow the previously mentioned steps to purchase your boat ticket to Nusa Penida. Ensure you ask locals or your accommodation for the nearest bemo stop to Sanur.

Tour Package

Another convenient option is to book a day tour that includes transportation to Nusa Penida. Many tour companies offer packages that include hotel pickup, boat transfer, and guided tours of the island. Check with your hotel or local travel agencies for options. This way, you won't have to worry about navigating transport and can enjoy a guided experience on the island.
