Day 7-11: Nusa Islands (Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Penida)
Getting There:
The easiest way to reach Nusa Lembongan is by fast boat from Sanur, Bali. The trip takes about 30 minutes, and several companies offer daily trips. Book in advance during peak season!Snorkeling & Diving: Take a boat trip to the Nusa Islands for crystal-clear waters and some of the best snorkeling and diving spots in Bali.
Nusa Penida: Spend a day exploring Nusa Penida’s dramatic cliffs and beaches. Visit the picturesque Kelingking Beach and Angel’s Billabong. Although I would recommend spending more time on the island and exploring the less-touristy south-east side. You’ll get equally beautiful beaches minus all the crowds. Winner winner chicken dinner!
Nusa Lembongan: Relax on the beaches or surf the uncrowded waves. Try surfing with a local guide like Dollar.
