Bali (TAN): Nusa Penida is a slice of Paradise that tourists have woken up to fairly recently.
Till even a few years ago, most day trippers from Bali preferred the smaller Nusa Lembongan. But now, a much larger percentage is heading out to Nusa Penida, and not just for a day trip but for several days together.
“Nusa Penida was the best part of my Bali trip,” Meri, a tourist from Spain, told TAN.

Just about an hour by speedboat from Bali, it is possible to reach the island from the airport within a few hours. Accommodation and food options are varied and available for all budgets.
Kelingking, the rock formation that looks like a dinosaur, is a favourite with Instagrammers.
The island also offers waterfalls, a cave temple, a weaving village and several spectacular viewpoints.

Some of the best snorkelling and diving spots are also around Nusa Penida. Many go here to swim with the huge manta rays.
So, if you’re going to Bali, don’t forget to add Nusa Penida to your itinerary.
