Nusa Penida : The Diving Paradise

Nusa Penida is the largest island of the three sisters island along with Lembongan and Ceningan in south east of Bali. You can reach Nusa Penida by boat for less than an hour (from Sanur Beach). The main attraction point of the island is the maritime activities such as surfing, snorkeling and diving. Diving in Nusa Penida offers you the chance to see mola-mola, turtles, shark (yes shark!), and amazing coral reefs in fantastic visibility. One of the favourite spot for certified diver is the dream cave”. It is an amazing under water bat cave, all with corals and various wild fish such as sharks (in relatively shallow water), jack fish, baracuda, manta rays, and sometimes sun fish. However, the currents are fast and unpredictable. So diving with a reputable dive operator and guide who knows how to “read” the currents is a must.

For those who doesn’t want to get wet, you can view the amazing coral reef formations from the semi submersible vessel. It is safer but much more expensie. This vessel package include visit to the village of Toyapakeh where you can observe turtles, traditional cockfighting, sample of Balinese dress, refreshing coconut drink and enjoy tropical buffet lunch. The islands are also has famous temple, Pura Penataran Ped on the north coast of Nusa Penida which known for its magic.

Those amazing offers has made these island as an alternative choice to spend your holiday in Bali.

PS : Banana Boat also available.
