Nusa Penida is a popular destination in Indonesia due to its untamed beauty. The dry season (May to September) is when demand for ferry tickets is higher, thanks to calm seas and excellent visibility for snorkeling and diving. If you plan to visit during the peak months or on weekends, booking your ferry tickets 1-2 months in advance is highly recommended. The rest of the year, tickets are usually available even a few days before your planned trip.

Here are a few useful tips for a smooth trip and a pleasant stay in Nusa Penida:

• Sea conditions around Nusa Penida can vary, so it’s wise to check the weather forecast and expect possible ferry schedule adjustments, especially in the rainy season (November to April).
• Ferry companies that travel to Nusa Penida do not allow vehicle transportation. However, upon arrival, you can rent scooters to explore the island, as distances between attractions are longer than on nearby islands. Alternatively, you can hire a car with a driver.
• Indonesia’s currency is the Indonesian rupiah, and it’s best to carry cash, especially when visiting remote beaches, where card payments may not be accepted.
• As ferry companies operating routes to and from Nusa Penida typically offer limited luggage space, we advise you to pack light to ensure a comfortable trip.
• Nusa Penida is a popular destination for day trips, so arriving early in the morning gives you more time to explore and avoid the afternoon crowds.

Ferry services and amenities on routes to and from Nusa Penida depend on the ferry company. Most ferry trips to the island are short and operated by high-speed vessels. Therefore, there are no cabins available for booking, but onboard seating is included in your ticket.

Please note that ferry companies that operate on routes to Nusa Penida usually do not allow pets onboard, so check the pet policy when booking if you are traveling with one.

Nusa Penida has multiple ports serving ferry routes:

• Banjar Nyuh: the main arrival point, located near the island’s northwestern coastline.
• Toya Pakeh: close to Banjar Nyuh, with easy access to the island’s western side.
• Buyuk Harbor: a quieter alternative, often used for routes to and from the Gili Islands and Lombok.

All ports offer convenient access to local transport and rental services, allowing you to start your Nusa Penida adventure right after arrival.
