About this tour
A 10-hour private tour of Nusa Penida that centres on Tembeling Beach's natural pool and the island's rugged coastline. You'll travel by fast boat from Bali, then explore dramatic cliffs, secluded beaches, and freshwater pools in your own air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. The pace is yours to set, and you'll skip the standard group-tour crowds. Entrance fees and hotel transfers are optional add-ons.

- Private vehicle with English-speaking driver for the day
- Fast-boat return journey to Bali included
- Flexibility to linger at spots that appeal to you

What to expect
You'll board a fast boat early morning for the crossing to Nusa Penida, then spend the bulk of the day exploring by road. The natural pool at Tembeling is the anchor attraction—cool, clear freshwater framed by pale limestone cliffs. From there, your driver takes you to other coastal highlights: viewpoints over jagged shorelines, hidden beaches, and pockets of green vegetation clinging to the slopes. Expect uneven terrain, steep stairs at some viewpoints, and limited shade in places. The return boat departs late afternoon. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water; lunch and breakfast aren't provided.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have serious back, heart, or pregnancy concerns—the fast boat and rough paths are demanding. Wear sturdy shoes and swimwear. Bring cash for snacks or lunch at small warungs on the island. The island has minimal infrastructure, so toilets are basic.
