3 days, 2 nights
Three days on Nusa Penida
West coast cliffs, east coast beaches and a cave temple — with the entrance fees and transfer times for each.
In short
Three days is enough to see both coasts without rushing: the western cliffs on day one, the eastern beaches and the water on day two, and the island's cave temple before you leave.
- Sanur to Toya Pakeh takes 30–45 minutes across the Badung Strait.
- Door to door, Bali hotel to island accommodation, is about 2 hours.
- Entrance fees across the whole trip total under IDR 100,000 per person.
