Nusa Penida

For the adventurers that prefer to shy away from areas frequented by tourists, the island of Nusa Penida is the place for you. Considered an “off-the-beaten-track” destination, the island is largely untouched and has a variety of unique sights and experiences that make it well worth chartering a boat to see. For those who love to trek, you will not be disappointed with the abundance of tracks that can take you from the hills to the beaches with a few waterfalls to admire along the way. As most travellers come to Bali for their unforgettable beaches, Atuh beach, Kelingking beach and swimming with manta rays at the appropriately named Manta Bay are just three of the many beautiful places for you to dive into.
