pulau island
The things to do on Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia, sit on four loops. The west coast has Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong and Crystal Bay. The east has Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, the Thousand Islands Viewpoint and the tree houses. The south side has Peguyangan, Banah Cliff and Tembeling, and the north has the temples of Goa Giri Putri and Pura Dalem Ped. Since 1 September 2026, Klungkung Regency charges an attraction levy at each one-gate stop on top of the island levy, so fewer stops done well cost less and leave time for the stairs.

A day on the island is a choice of loop. The west coast and the east coast lie on opposite sides: Diamond Beach is 16 km in a straight line from Kelingking Beach, and the regency's own notes to its levy regulation state that most visits to Nusa Penida are one-day trips. Each stop below shows whether it is a levy gate, what officials state about stairs and swimming, and which kinds of tour list it. Pick a tour in the chooser to mark the stops its listing names.

tebing cliff
These are the Nusa Penida cliffs most people picture, and the stops that nearly every west coast day tour on this page lists. All four are levy gates: Klungkung Regency Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach as one entry ("angel's billabong-broken beach") among its 17 one-gate attractions, and Kelingking Beach and Crystal Bay each as their own. A tour such as Bali: Full-Day Nusa Penida Highlights Tour with Transfer sponsored lists all four in one day.
The famous headland is seen from the clifftop viewpoint, with no descent. Going down is a stairway that Basarnas Denpasar describes as about 170 m high, and the same climb back. Coconuts Bali reported a swimming ban there in January 2023, until further notice.
The glass lift beside the cliff is in court: the Denpasar administrative court ruled for the developer on 3 September 2026, and the record showed no appeal ruling as of 13 November 2026. The Kelingking Beach page draws the headland in section and sets out the rescue reports.
Two sights side by side on the cliffs north-west of Kelingking: Broken Beach, a collapsed cove open to the sea, and Angel's Billabong, a tide pool between rock walls. The two points are 0.2 km in a straight line apart, and the regency lists them together as one levy entry.
Coconuts Bali reported a swimming ban at Angel's Billabong in January 2023, until further notice. Klungkung Regency stated in 2025 that the access road there would be widened. The planned width is 9 m planned width, with works planned for 2026.
A bay with a rock islet offshore, and the stop the snorkel boats share with the land tours: three of the water trips below list it. Crystal Bay is 4.3 km in a straight line from Kelingking Beach.
Klungkung Regency states that works on the 2 km Telaga to Klumpu road, the access road to Crystal Bay and Kelingking, have begun, in its news item of 24 August 2026; it gives no completion date.
pantai beach
The east coast is a day of its own, and its stops lie close together: Atuh Beach is 0.4 km in a straight line from Diamond Beach, and the Thousand Islands Viewpoint 0.8 km in a straight line from Atuh. A private east day such as East Nusa Penida Highlights: Private Full-Day Day Trip from Bali sponsored lists Atuh, the tree houses and Teletubbies Hill.
A white beach below the east cliffs, on the regency's one-gate list. Coconuts Bali reported a swimming ban at Diamond Beach, Kelingking and Angel's Billabong in January 2023 (swimming banned), until further notice, while the beaches stayed open.
Atuh is the next cove along, a levy gate in its own right. Above it, the Thousand Islands Viewpoint looks over the sea stacks off this coast; it is not on the one-gate list. Several tours on this page list Atuh; none names the viewpoint.
The tree houses of Nusa Penida stand at Molenteng, above the sea stacks of the east coast. The regency's regulation lists Molenteng as one of its one-gate attractions, so the attraction levy applies. Three of the tours on this page list the tree houses, all of them private or all-inclusive days.
Inland, Teletubbies Hill is another levy gate: Klungkung Regency's tourism office states the regency signed an agreement with Desa Adat Sekartaji on managing it on 15 January 2026.
tangga stairs
None of the tours on this page lists these three stops by name. Nothing official is stated about the stairs or swimming at any of them, so treat each as a cliff site and go by what the signs and staff say on the day.
Peguyangan Waterfall, also called Guyangan, is a spring on the south coast; the photograph shows the cliff stairs and the shrine there. It is not on the one-gate list. Searches for the Guyangan waterfall on Nusa Penida mean this place.
Banah Cliff is a viewpoint 2.4 km in a straight line from Kelingking Beach, close enough to pair with the west loop. Tembeling, a natural pool, is on the regency's one-gate list as Temeling. Peguyangan Waterfall and Tembeling are 2.7 km in a straight line apart.
desa village
Goa Giri Putri is a cave temple in Karang Sari, Suana village, on the north-east side of the island. Winanti and Nerawati (2023) state that its main deity is Dewi Giri Putri, the consort of Shiva, that the entrance is a narrow hole passable by one person at a time, and that no mandatory offering is needed to pray there. A 2024 Undiksha proceeding gives the cave a length of about 262 m and its position as 150 m above sea level. It is supported by 210 households of Desa Pakraman Karangsari, and its temple festival falls each year on Purnama Kadasa, the full moon of the tenth Balinese month. detikBali reported an entry ticket of IDR 10,000 (about AUD 0.8, USD 0.5 or GBP 0.4) in 2024; it is not a one-gate levy stop.
Pura Dalem Ped stands on the north coast near Ped, 2.8 km in a straight line from Toyapakeh. Klungkung Regency's regent calls Pura Penataran Ped a Pura Sad Kahyangan Jagat temple and halted an unpermitted building in its sacred zone in July 2025. The regency states the peak of the 2025 temple festival fell on Budha Cemeng Klawu, Wednesday 20 August, and the festival closed on 25 August 2025.
The Bali Provincial Government's Circular No. 7 of 2025, issued on 24 March 2025, sets the rules for foreign visitors at both: modest dress at holy places, the inner and middle courtyards closed except to pray in Balinese traditional dress, prayer there only for those not menstruating, and climbing sacred trees or buildings and photos in improper clothing prohibited.
pari ray
Several of the best known things to do on Nusa Penida are offshore. The snorkel trips on this page list Manta Bay, Gamat Bay and Crystal Bay off the west coast, and Manta Point off the south coast, the site the dive trips name. Gamat Bay is a one-gate levy stop; the two manta sites are not on the list.
What you see on a given day is never certain. The Manta Point page covers the site, Nusa Penida snorkelling compares the boat trips, and diving covers the dive sites. The US CDC advises travellers in Indonesia to always wear a life jacket when boating (page reviewed 25 August 2026).

retribusi levy
Three charges can apply on a day of Nusa Penida attractions, each set by a different body.
Regulation No. 4 of 2026 entered into force on 1 August 2026 and applied the attraction levy 1 month later; bali.live reported the gates began charging on 1 September 2026. The levy is counted per gate, so the board above is also a cost sheet: every stop marked "levy" is one more attraction levy per person.
The island levy ticket is bought online at Easybook since 21 February 2026, and Easybook staff check tickets on site. The regency's poster lists one exemption, free with Bali ID, and, issued in February 2026 under the regency's 2023 regulation, states that one ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan; the regency's Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists Nusa Lembongan-Ceningan as a levy area of its own (kawasan wisata pulau nusa lembongan-ceningan). The regency names klungkungtourism.id as its information channel. The Bali tourist tax page adds the three levies up for a group.
Circular No. 7 of 2025 also requires foreign tourists to be accompanied by a licensed guide when visiting tourist attractions, and sets a rule of no single-use plastic: no plastic bags, styrofoam, plastic straws or plastic-packaged drinks. ANTARA reported its rule for foreign tourists on motorbikes, licence and helmet required: a valid international or national driving licence and a helmet. Smartraveller, updated 21 October 2026, states that many beaches in Indonesia are unpatrolled and can be dangerous due to rough seas and strong currents.
pertanyaan questions
Pick one loop. The west loop of Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong and Crystal Bay is the one most day tours from Bali list. The east loop of Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, the Thousand Islands Viewpoint and the tree houses sits on the far side of the island, so combining both makes a long day.
Klungkung Regency charges an attraction levy of IDR 25,000 per adult at each of the 17 one-gate attractions in its Regulation No. 4 of 2026, including Kelingking, Broken Beach with Angel's Billabong, Crystal Bay, Diamond Beach, Atuh and Molenteng. The island levy for foreign visitors is separate and paid once.
Yes, as a temple visit. The Bali Provincial Government's Circular No. 7 of 2025 asks foreign tourists for modest dress at holy places and keeps the inner and middle courtyards for prayer in Balinese traditional dress. Goa Giri Putri's entrance is a narrow hole that one person passes at a time, and no particular offering is required to pray.
The tree houses are at Molenteng, on the east coast above the sea stacks near Atuh Beach and the Thousand Islands Viewpoint. Klungkung Regency lists Molenteng as a one-gate attraction, so the attraction levy applies. Three of the private and all-inclusive day tours on this page list them.
The Bali Provincial Government states that Circular No. 7 of 2025 requires foreign tourists to be accompanied by a licensed guide when visiting tourist attractions. Ask the operator whether a licensed guide comes with the tour you book.
