How far is Nusa Penida from Bali?

About forty minutes by tender from Bali's southern coast — an easy day charter from Benoa or Sanur.

Can I see mantas at Nusa Penida?

Yes — Manta Bay holds a reef-manta cleaning station, best snorkelled on the incoming tide. Sightings are most reliable in the dry season.

What does a Nusa Penida day charter cover?

A classic loop takes in Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, the Kelingking viewpoint from the water and a lunch anchorage at Atuh, returning to Bali by sunset.
