Sanur to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

R
Very easy trip. Check in at shop and follow instructions. Was pretty punctual, the trip was fine despite slightly choppy sea. If you book a taxi on the boat be sure to haggle. Just say 'no, too expensive' he'll come back a few times with better prices. It helped me that my hotel had advised me before embarking, what the fare should be so I used that and the guy matched it eventually after starting at nearly doubled the price. Then it was easy, met at port by taxi man and straight to the hotel. Otherwise ask your host to arrange a taxi for you.

Trip on boat over was really smooth. About 50 minutes. Hired a scooter at harbour. $15 for 3 days. Our villa was up in the hills. Absolutely gorgeous. Locals are so friendly . Nowhere near as crowded as Bali or lembongan and no hawkers hasseling you. Busy but quiet. Will definitely come back ❤️❤️❤️ everything is so cheap.

Our ferry ride from Sanur to Penida went smoothly, but it was extremely hot inside. The seats were very small, which made the trip a bit uncomfortable.

The fast boat is so much fun! Gets you there fast and the staff are friendly. Sit near the back to avoid nausea and be careful getting off onto the docks.
