Private Full-Day Tour of Nusa Penida Island

Overall the tour company was excellent in pick-up & drop-off but could of had more clear communication on the tour such as having to get out in the water & walk with your bags across rocky terrain to get to shore or that they would not be letting you off at dock in Nusa Penida but overloading a small boat to get you as close as possible then jump into water with your stuff & walk a shore through a lot of seaweed. Dressing appropriately for this is important along with the information to make best judgement as if you don't know how to swim, have seaweed allergy or anything else could change your mind. Also note the boat crew gives you no direction in case of issue on boat & speak no English so that is difficult. Once on the island tour guides speak very little English just the basics. The car was clean, had air conditioning. The road on the island is crowded but also very small & rough so it takes time to get to each location plus it does bounce you around. If you get car sick I would advise that you take meds. Each location you go to is very crowded. Majority of the tour guides & people do smoke, so if you have allergies or asthma please be prepared for it. My tour guide smoked without any consideration to me, which was disappointing. I at one point had to tell him not ok & please don't do it around me. Crystal Bay wasn't anything special just a beach you swim in, so if staying in Bali this isn't impressive at all. It also was fairly dirty. As some other places in & around Indonesia the bathrooms are very dirty, no TP & you have to pay to use them. I had 1 bathroom try to not give me my change back & had to argue that with language barrier but it was over half the cost of bathroom & frustrating they would just try to keep it. Other 2 locations are beautiful but over crowded with no organization. Also note some fun ways to take photos are set-up but they are for a charge per person so ask before just stopping to take photo. Tour Guide, got a little to friendly & asked about sending tours to him directly vs who I booked through which made for an uncomfortable situation. Also wanted to have some photos of me taken during the day for some reason but I said no that is not appropriate. The trip didn't take a full day for me so I took an earlier boat back as the island really didn't have a lot to offer & not set-up for tourist well. It was an ok day but honestly if could go back wouldn't chose not to do it.

Ross gave me an exceptional private day tour of Nusa Penida. He knew his way around and managed to lead me to great locations. He did excellent pictures of me from many adventorous angles and was fun to chat with. Can really recommend this tour if you are short in time but still want to discover the beauty of Nusa Penida

Me and my husband had Amazing Trip 😊 Kudos to our Driver/Tour Guide GUSTI he is so kind and friendly ❤

The whole experience was top notch, from the pickup at our hotel, the trip to the harbor, and the entire drive around Nusa Penida. Great local jewels, you have to endure the long and bumpy road, but totally worth it. Very good group of guys.

Diese wunderbare Insel hat leider auch Schattenseiten. Wir haben uns im Vorfeld über das Reiseziel informiert und nur positives Feedback erhalten. Die Insel hat eine atemberaubende Fora und Fauna, wir waren fasziniert von der Vegetation, den riesigen und malerischen Klippen die sich durch tobende Wellen mit dem Meer verbinden. Es war unbeschreiblich schön. Schade, denn die Infrastruktur der Insel ist für diesen Tourismus nicht ausgelegt. Tag für Tag kommen eine riesige Menge Touristen zum Tagesausflug zur Insel. Dort werden sie in einer Vielzahl von PKW‘s über steinige und holprige -man kann nicht Straße dazu sagen- Wegen von A nach B gebracht. Das Zeitfenster für die schönen Plätze ist begrenzt und überall laufen die Touristen und lassen auch ihren Unrat dort. Abgesehen von dem Müll und Dreck der in jeder Ecke zu finden ist. Keiner schert sich darum. Beim Mittagessen wurde uns mehr oder weniger kaltes Essen lieblos serviert und von der Sauberkeit der Toilette ganz zu schweigen. Ein Lichtblick war unser Fahrer, der uns mit ausgesprochener Freundlichkeit begegnete und uns mit Umsicht gefahren hat, damit wir sicher an unser Endziel gelangen.

Super compagnie avec 2 chauffeurs très sympathique. Le driver de nusa penida était très à l'écoute et vraiment super sympa!!
