Nusa islands review
The trio Nusa Island consists of Nusa Penida, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Lembongan. Each of them promises wild aquatic adventures, baby blue scenic water, and breathtaking landscapes. Start your journey with one of South East Asia’s most iconic picturesque spots, Nusa Penida’s T-Rex Kelingking beach viewpoint. Then walk the iconic blue stairway leading to the hidden Peguyangan Waterfall. Experience a view unlike any other; exclusive panoramic view from limestone cliffs with turquoise sea as a backdrop.
Next, dive at world-leading class diving spots like Crystal Bay and Manta Point off Nusa Penida island. Swim along super friendly manta rays known for their gigantic sizes 23ft (7m) and can weigh up to 6600 lbs (3000 kg). Will you be lucky to encounter a fish like no other – a colossal Mola Mola? Don’t stop there, island-hop to Nusa Cengingan and Nusa Lembongan, renowned as the perfect getaway for relaxation. Kayak along the golden-brown coastline, go spearfishing (catch your dinner), or even surfing.
The pleasant tropical climate and white powder-soft sands make Nusa Islands even more enjoyable. Check out aptly named Diamond Beach, a secret beach of Nusa Penida. On the other hand, if you’re looking for an adrenaline-packed adventure, go cliff jumping at Turquoise Lagoon in Nusa Ceningan, or try parasailing. With Islander’s private boat tour from Bali, you can adventure Nusa Islands’ most exclusive and premium spots from hidden bays, waterfalls, adventurous hikes to enchanting viewpoints.

Nusa islands tour
How to reach Nusa islands
The Nusa Islands trio is located at the southeast border of Bali. The closest to Bali is Nusa Lembongan, followed by Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. It takes only 20 minutes from Sanur (Bali) to reach Nusa Lembongan by boat. Despite its proximity to Bali, Nusa Lembongan is a world away from the hassle and hectic pace of Kuta or any of Bali’s hotspots. On the other hand, Nusa Penida is closer to Lombok island, pulling in day trips from both Bali and Lombok. Nusa Islands is a fantastic island-hopping destination for a private boat tour. It packs a punch with available activities both above and underwater.
Best time in Nusa islands
The best time to visit Nusa Islands is from April to September when the sea is gorgeous and the weather is arid, accommodating a variety of activities. Since that is also the same dry season for most of the surrounding islands, including Bali and Lombok, even your island hopping is not affected. We recommend avoiding travel during December-March, especially if you are into snorkeling and diving because the sea is known to be rough and lacking visibility. January and February are the months with the most rainfall and unstable weather. On the flip side, December-March enjoys the best waves, so it is perfect for surfing in Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan islands.
Nusa islands or Gili islands
Nusa Islands is a better tourist location than the Gili Islands if you are into surfing, land activities, and more luxury accommodations. When it comes to snorkeling and diving, Nusas and Gilis are au par with a range of terrific snorkeling spots and dive sites. The upside for the Gili Islands is that its trio is very close to each other, making snorkeling and diving feel like one. At the same time, the Nusa trio brings more activities above and underwater, promising a wholesome holiday spirit. For those looking for a short visit, both the Gili Islands day trip and Nusa Penida tour from Bali are worth it.
