Two-Day Trip, Hotel & Meals

Bali: Nusa Penida 2-Day Trip with Accommodation & Meals runs 2 days, rated 4.9 from 34 reviews, with hotel stay and meals included. Free cancellation applies.

Overview

This two-day package bundles the parts of a Nusa Penida trip that are hardest to arrange alone: the Sanur speedboat crossing, a private car with driver on the island, one night of accommodation, lunch on both days, and entrance and parking fees. The operator, PT Favotrip Bali Tour, runs the tour in English or Indonesian, and a guide meets you at the harbour holding a sign with your name.

Day one follows the east coast. After the crossing you visit a turtle conservation centre, where you can see the animals up close and feed them, then head to Diamond Beach and neighbouring Atuh Beach. Lunch is Indonesian food at a local restaurant, and the afternoon finishes at the Rumah Pohon Molenteng treehouse and the Thousand Islands viewpoint before you are dropped at your accommodation. Reviewers who chose the two-day version over a day trip said the extra time let them relax at the hotel and skip the worst traffic, and one traveller said a guide adjusted stops, swapping the treehouse for a cave temple and timing Kelingking Beach before the crowds.

The trip suits travellers who want the logistics handled and are comfortable with long drives. The listing is blunt about the roads: expect challenging, winding and bumpy stretches. Pickup from your Bali accommodation is available as an option; without it you make your own way to Sanur Harbour and check in at the Semabu Hills counter.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this tour feels, from the boat ride to the island roads.

• Seasickness prep. The crossing from Sanur is by speedboat, and the listing advises taking seasickness pills an hour before if you need them. Arrive at the harbour 30 minutes ahead of departure.
• Rough island roads. The listing warns of challenging, winding and bumpy roads across Nusa Penida. Several reviewers praised their drivers specifically for handling these roads safely, so expect plenty of driving time between stops.
• Flexible pacing. Reviewers often describe guides who adjusted plans and stayed flexible, with one traveller reporting a stop swapped for a cave temple and a tip to visit Kelingking Beach early. If you have a preference, raise it with the guide early.
• What to bring. The listing recommends comfortable shoes, a hat, swimwear, a camera, sunscreen and water. Mineral water is provided, but sun protection matters for beach and viewpoint stops.
• Meals. Lunch on both days includes one main course and one drink, with Indonesian and Western choices. One reviewer called the meals okay but nothing special, and dinner is not included, so budget for your evenings.
• Snorkeling add-on. Snorkeling is not part of the base package, but reviewers mentioned guides helping arrange a session, with one group seeing manta rays. Treat it as an extra to plan with your guide.

Common issues. The honest downsides are the driving and the accommodation. One reviewer said there is quite a lot of driving, and another was disappointed to be placed in a different cottage from the properties named on the booking page. The meals drew a lukewarm comment from one traveller. Dinner, personal expenses and the Baby Turtle Release add-on are excluded, and a photo ticket for the private area is not covered. Smoking is not allowed in the vehicle.
