REVIEW · NUSA PENIDA DAY TRIPS
All Inclusive Nusa Penida Tour Package
Book on Viator →Operated by Go Tour Nusa Penida · Bookable on Viator
Blue water meets huge cliffs today.
This Nusa Penida trip is interesting because you’re chasing Broken Beach and Kelingking’s T-Rex shaped views in one long but well-paced day, and you’ll get real photo help from guides like Dek Cok and Deck Coco. I also like that it’s built around classic photo stops with time to actually look, not just rush past them. The only real drawback: expect stairs and uneven ground, so wear grip-friendly shoes and don’t plan to dress for perfection.
One more thing I appreciate: it’s set up as a true all-in, all-out day. You’re picked up, taken in an air-conditioned vehicle, sent across by fast boat, and brought back again, with lunch and admission fees handled. The day runs about 10 hours, so it’s best if you’re ready for a busy “see the icons” format.

Getting to Nusa Penida from Ubud without the headache

If you’re starting in Ubud, the smart part of this package is that you don’t have to piece together transport by yourself. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Bali, plus private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle. That matters on a day with stair-heavy stops. Less logistical stress means you can focus on the views.
Then you get the fast-boat connection built in: the package includes the fast boat return ticket, and the day is designed to keep you moving across the water and back. You’re also issued a mobile ticket, so you’re not hunting for paper vouchers while you’re already trying not to trip on uneven paths.
One small practical note: because it’s private (only your group participates), the pace can feel smoother than shared tours. You can ask for a quick re-position for a photo, and you won’t be stuck waiting on a big crowd to catch up.

What’s included (and why that value matters)

At this price point, the real value isn’t just “cheap.” It’s that you’re covered for the big cost items that usually ruin budget plans: admission fees, a meal, and most of the movement logistics.
Included features you can count on:
- Entrance fees for the stops on the itinerary
- Lunch during the day
- Government fees
- Air-conditioned transport
- Use of snorkeling equipment only if you pick the package option that includes snorkeling
- Snorkeling equipment and the snorkeling add-on are separate concepts—so confirm you’re choosing the right option if snorkeling is your goal
Why this matters: Nusa Penida tours often look affordable until you add entrance fees, boat tickets, and the lunch you forgot to budget for. Here, you’re starting with fewer surprises. And you’re getting a guide-led day built around the most recognizable sights—exactly what you want when you have limited time.
Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong: where the cliffs do the talking

This is one of the reasons I like this route: you get two signature “wow” stops close together.
Stop 1: Broken Beach
Broken Beach is a geological marvel—a circular cove with a massive natural arch carved into the cliff. What makes it so photo-friendly is the framing: you look through the rock structure and see the ocean’s blue presence on the other side. Even if you’re not a hardcore photographer, you’ll feel how dramatic it is once you’re there.
Time on this stop is about 35 minutes. That’s enough to walk to the best viewpoint, take a few angles, and just stand there for a moment to let the view sink in.
Practical consideration: the ground can feel rough and stair-like, depending on where you position yourself. Don’t rush. If you’re climbing down or around viewpoints, use the same slow pace you’d use at a temple complex—there’s no prize for speed.
Stop 2: Angel’s Billabong
A short walk from Broken Beach takes you to Angel’s Billabong, described as a natural infinity pool formed by a rock lagoon. The look you’re going for is the emerald-tinged, calm-water feel that makes this spot look almost engineered.
Time here is about 30 minutes, which works well because you’ll usually want to take photos, then step back to watch the water pattern from a safer angle.
If you’re the type who likes “pose, then observe,” this is your stop. You can grab your pictures fast, then enjoy the quiet for a bit.
Kelingking Beach: the T-Rex Bay view is worth the stair work

Kelingking Beach is the Nusa Penida icon. It’s often called T-Rex Bay because of that distinctive cliff shape. Even when you’ve seen photos before, the scale hits harder once you’re actually there.
Time is about 35 minutes, which sounds short until you’re standing near the cliff and realizing you’ll want multiple angles. This is one of those places where you’ll naturally rotate your position to catch a better view of the coastline below.
The reality check: stairs and footing
Here’s the honest part: you’ll deal with stairs. Reviews from people who took this day highlight that the stair-heavy nature is real on Penida. If you want one tip that will save you hassle, it’s this: wear shoes with grip and take the descent and ascent slowly. One reviewer straight-up advised bringing water and using shoes because it’s better for the conditions.
Photo tip that actually helps
Guides like Dek Cok and Deck Coco are repeatedly credited for helping with photos and timing—especially at Kelingking. Ask them where to stand for the clearest angles. Then give yourself one extra minute to reset your framing. This stops you from rushing the shot and coming away with blurry results.
Crystal Bay: the calm, sandy finish after big cliffs

After the iconic cliff stops, Crystal Bay is the release valve.
This beach is known for soft white sand, palm trees, and clear, inviting water. It’s the stop that lets you shift from “icon-viewing” to “you can actually relax for a bit.” Time is about 1 hour, which gives you breathing space compared to the earlier stops.
Some people even mention swimming here, so if you’re feeling good and you packed a swimsuit, this is usually the best moment of the day to consider a dip—assuming conditions feel safe to you on the day.
Practical note: even at the “calmer” beach stop, keep an eye on footing around sand and paths. Penida isn’t smooth like a resort shoreline. It’s wild and natural, which is exactly why it’s so beautiful.
East vs West options: ask if you want more than the icons

Your package for this review focuses on the west-style sequence: Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Kelingking, Crystal Bay.
But I’d be remiss not to point out something from guide-led experiences: Go Tour Nusa Penida also runs routes that people describe as east—with stops like Diamond Beach, the Tree House viewpoint, and Atuh Beach in some trips. If you’re on Penida for only one day and you want maximum variety, it’s worth asking whether you’re booked for the west route only or if there’s an east alternative for your dates.
No matter which side you choose, the stair reality stays. The difference is which dramatic viewpoints you’ll end the day on.
Snorkeling add-on: what you might see (and what to expect)

The package notes that snorkeling equipment is included if you choose the option that adds snorkeling. That’s the key detail—snorkeling isn’t automatically part of every version of the tour.
If you do choose snorkeling, one review experience mentions a west route with snorkeling where they were lucky enough to see manta fish and turtles. That’s not a guarantee you should plan on, but it does tell you snorkeling can be worth the extra effort on the right day.
If snorkeling is a big part of your wish list, treat this decision like a “yes, I want water time” commitment. It’s one more activity layered into a day that already includes cliff views and stairs.
Guides make the difference: Dek Cok and Deck Coco’s role

In these reviews, the guides come up again and again—especially for two jobs: information and photo help.
People mention that guides were friendly, helped at all times, gave accurate information, and assisted with photos. Names that show up include Dek Cok, Cocoa deck, and Deck Coco.
What that means for you: a good guide doesn’t just point. They help you:
- find the spots where the view looks best from where you’re standing
- avoid wasting time walking to the wrong angle
- feel more confident on stair-heavy sections
- get your photos without awkward repositioning while others pass you
If your goal is to leave with more than a few safe “I was there” pictures, this kind of help is worth its weight in sunscreen.
Price and value: $15 looks small, but check how it’s packaged

The listed price is $15.00 per person, booked on average 29 days in advance, and the package claims an all-in structure: private transportation, air-conditioned vehicle, entrance fees, lunch, government fees, and fast-boat return.
Here’s how I’d think about value as a practical traveler:
- If the tour truly includes transport, admissions, and lunch as stated, you’re mostly paying for time, coordination, and a guide—not for piecing together multiple services.
- The private setup can also help you get more efficient photo stops and keep the day focused on your group.
- Snorkeling is conditional. If snorkeling is important to you, confirm you’re selecting the version that includes snorkeling equipment.
If you’re used to paying separately for boat transfers and admissions on Penida, this kind of bundled package can feel like a “why didn’t I do this earlier” moment.
What to pack for a stair-heavy, photo-focused day
Because the day centers on Kelingking and other cliff viewpoints, preparation is less about comfort and more about safety and sanity.
Bring:
- Water (you’ll want it on a long day with walking and stairs)
- Shoes with grip (reviews repeatedly note the stair reality)
- Sun protection (even if the day is partly overcast, Penida sun can surprise you)
- A small bag or pouch for your phone/camera that you can keep secure while moving between stops
Also, if you’re going to snorkel in the optional version, bring the basics you’d normally want for water time. The tour includes snorkeling equipment for the snorkeling option, but you’ll still feel better if you’re prepared for personal comfort.
Who this tour fits best
This tour is a great match if:
- you want the most famous Nusa Penida scenes in one day
- you care about Instagrammable viewpoints and want time at each stop
- you prefer a private experience rather than a crowded bus day
- you like having admission fees and lunch handled so you can just enjoy the route
It may be less ideal if:
- stairs and uneven ground are a hard no for your body right now
- you want a slow, beach-only day with minimal walking
In other words: pick this when you want icons and photos, and plan your body accordingly.
Should you book All Inclusive Nusa Penida Tour Package?
I’d book it if your top goal is to hit Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Kelingking, and Crystal Bay without worrying about tickets and transport. The all-inclusive setup and the repeatedly praised guides (Dek Cok, Deck Coco) make it feel like a day built for results, not guesswork.
I’d think twice only if you know you struggle with stairs or if you need a super relaxed pacing. For most people, good shoes and a calm walking rhythm fix 90% of the pain points.
If you’re aiming to see the Penida icons and come home with photos you’re actually proud of, this is the kind of organized day that pays off.
