Review of the Nusa Penida day trip from Ubud, with fast boat transfers, private island driver, lunch, famous cliffs, and practical drawbacks.
“Our driver Maha made all the difference in our Nusa Penida experience! We had an excellent time, from the on time pickup to expediting our way through to the snorkeling spots, and caring for our gear, Maha took care of all of our photos and took us to so many gorgeous and iconic spots. The roads were quite rough but Maha saw us safely through. We were well taken care of and would absolutely recommend Maha as your guide for any Bali experiences.”

“Wonderful guides and beautiful reefs for snorkeling! Also loved the lunch location with the infinity pool and views., and Nusa Penida was the icing on the cake. The boat ride can get choppy going back, but made for a fun adventure!! Would do it again!! Great for solo travelers as well. I never felt left out.”
Watch sunrise over Mount Bromo, hike to its crater, and enjoy private transfers, a 4WD Jeep ride, breakfast, and a local guide.
“This was probably one of the best experiences we've had. Our guide Oni was amazing, he told us a lot of things about life in Indonesia and we chatted a lot about life. He took us to get some great coffee that really managed to keep us awake, and we had the best spot to see the sunrise. There's some climbing involved but it made it all worth it. The whole experience was seamless and just overall a once in a lifetime thing. We also had a great driver who turned out to be a great photographer. Book Oni if you can, he's the best!”

Build your own Bali day tour with a private driver, hotel pickup, onboard WiFi, and stops from Uluwatu to Ubud or East Bali.
“Our private driver met us at the hotel on time. He is very friendly and speaks good English. We went to the northern part of Bali and visited the water temple & water fall. We didn’t finish the 9 hours trip as planned due to the heavy afternoon rain. But the driver did spent good part of the day with us. It’s a long drive and we did enjoy the scenic drive.”
Review of Nusa Penida’s $51 private day trip from Bali, with speedboat transfers, cliff views, lunch, snorkeling time, and practical tips.
“Unfortunately, this trip did not meet expectations. The day started with an unnecessarily early pickup, even though later ferry options were available — we would have appreciated being informed and given a choice. The tour felt disorganized from the start. We had two different guides, which made things confusing. The guide in Nusa Penida seemed disengaged and uninterested, and communication was difficult as he spoke mostly in Indonesian at each stop. The driver there was also not particularly helpful. The itinerary was poorly balanced — we spent the majority of the time in the car on bumpy, nauseating roads and had less than 10 minutes at the beach. The locations…”
