Bali to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

TP
The driver supposed to pick us up around 17:30 but no one showed up or even texted me. I tried to call the company but no one answered either. I had to wait for 30 minutes before the company called me back and sent another driver. The new driver was driving another group, so he put both of us on 1 passenger seat up front. We had to sit like that for like an hour. We were late for our plan and didn’t even have a proper seat.

I did not have any confirmation about the pick up until about 1 hora before. I texted 5 different numbers to get information. But it worked well. The seats on the boat were a little narrow.

We were able to take an earlier boat since we got there an hour early as advised on our ticket/booking. No one has manners, they herd on and off the boat like cattle. No one waits their turn, and staff do not organize or help this as they’re too busy rushing you on and off and tossing bags. Ride was a not 20 minutes, more like 40. Comfortable seats and the boat cuts right through the waves, little to no motion sickness for me which was a nice change! :)

We arrived early at the port and could take the boat early (1:15 instead of 2:00). Takes around 30 mins and not 15 as mentioned but it’s alright. You have to pay 25k per person on arrival (tax fee to enter Nusa Penida).
