Sedangkantrip gue di Bali itu 8 hari. Oke! Nusa Penida itu secara administratif masih berada di wilayah Bali meski beda pulau. Jadi jangan heran kalo disana bakal banyak alamat yang mencantumkan kata "BALI" diakhirannya. Gue bingung mau cerita dari mana, karena ini kali pertama gue menginjakkan kaki talas bogor ke Nusa Penida. Dan liburan ini
Gan solo travelling kesini abis duit berapa ya kira kira?
Tapisekitar jam 1 siang saya harus dah balik ke penginapan soalnya fast boat ke sanur saya berangkat jam 2 kalo gak salah. Dan itulah akhir perjalanan saya di Nusa Penida. Sungguh, nggak cukup 2 harian buat keliling Nusa Penida, walaupun pulaunya nggak begitu besar. Sebenernya masih ada tempat-tempat yang pengen saya kunjungin.
KiqyAZ. Over the years as pictures of the curved spine of Kelingking Beach have gone viral online, Nusa Penida has become a main attraction to visiting Indonesia. A part of a a trio of smallers islands, Nusa Pendia sits at the southeast coast of the main island of Bali. Here you will find less Western restaurants, a much quieter atmosphere, some untouched wilderness, and the iconic, epic coastlines! In this travel guide you can find all the information needed to plan your own trip Ways to Experience Nusa Penida A trip to Nusa Penida can be experienced in different ways. For most people, visiting Nusa Penida means a taking a guided day trip tour from Bali. However, itâs becoming increasingly popular to go to Nusa Penida on your own, stay a few days and explore at your leisure time. There are pros and cons to both options and the way in which you decide to visit Nusa Penida greatly depends on any time limitations and how you like to travel. Visiting On Your Own Flexible planning, youâre on your own time More planning involved on your part Need to arrange getting to Nusa Penida Must rent a motorbike or hire a driver Ability to stay several days and explore the island in its entirety and experience a quiet paradise Opportunity to explore many beautiful places, Nusa Penida is known for Kelingking Beach but thereâs so much more Visiting on a Tour Structured day, possibly with a group depending on the tour Usually package deal, everything planned for you Transportation to the island usually included Transportation on the island included Tours are typically day tours from Bali without the option of staying on Nusa Penida Tours usually only take you to the popular spots. And even if given the ability to choose where to go, your options are limited in just one day because of how far locations are from one another In terms of price comparison, it depends. Exploring for one day on your own, could very well be much cheaper than a day tour package depending on the tour. However, if you stay a few days, obviously the costs go up but youâre getting more experiences than a day tour. As I mentioned, there are pros and cons to both, so choose whichever suits you best! Either way thereâs no doubt you will enjoy this majestic island. Booking a Day Trip Tour to Nusa Penida A day trip can be taken on your own to the island, however with a shorter amount of time an organized tour may be more worth it. Many days tours are offered by street vendors and hotels in Bali. However, you can also book ahead of time online. Below are some great options on GetYourGuide Getting to and from Nusa Penida Nusa Penida is small island close to the mainland of Bali; to get there it is about a 30 minute boat ride from Sanur Harbor on Bali. However, it can also be accessed from Nusa Lembongan or from Lombok. The most popular way is from Bali though. Booking a Boat Ticket to Nusa Penida from Bali *If you are taking a tour to Nusa Penida, boat transportation is usually included, but double check. Securing a boat ticket to Nusa Penida can be done in many ways. Some hotels will help you arrange it, which may include pick up from the hotel and the boat to Nusa Penida. You can also book online at 12Go or Klook, both of which are very reliable for all modes of transportation. Keep in mind, if you do book online, this should be done at least a day in advance. The longer you wait, the price usually goes other option is the old school way, booking from a vendor. There are many vendors on the streets within Bali who will provide transportation and tours to Nusa Penida. Or you can wing it, and show up to Sanur Harbor and buy your ticket from there. Boats and ferries leave everyday, I would just recommend showing up early. Whichever way you buy your ticket though, I recommend comparing prices across the board and weighing your options. Some ways of booking may be more expensive than others, however, some may include transportation to Sanur I didI booked a ticket for a speedboat online at Klook, the day before, which was 165,000 IDR ~$12 USD. I actually ended up missing my boat due to oversleeping and not reading the fine print about arriving early, but they just stuck me on the next boat leaving at no extra cost, so no problem. Donât panic if this happens to you! Ways to Book a Boat Ticket to Nusa Penida At your hotelFrom a street vendorOnline at 12Go or Klook Tips When Booking Compare pricesHaggle/bargain if you canConsider the pros and cons and price differences of booking a ticket that includes transportation to the harbor vs. getting there on your ownBook as early as possible to get a better priceCheck your ticket for the time youâre supposed to arrive at the harbor Getting to Sanur Harbor Most speedboats and ferries to Nusa Penida will leave from Sanur Harbor. When purchasing your ticket, I would double check that this is your departure point. After doing so, I would check Google Maps to see how far away you are from Sanur Harbor, because given its location and Bali traffic, it might take you up to 45 minutes drive to get there. This detail is important to planning your arrival time so you donât miss your boat like me lol!.If youâre taking a tour, most likely it will provide hotel pickup to the harbor, therefore you will not need to worry about the logistics of getting there. Make sure this is the case though. If you are not on a tour, the cheapest way to reach Sanur Harbor is using the GoJek or Grab app. You can also take a taxi, this is a good option to support locals. When you arrive at Sanur Harbor, thereâs a small fee for drivers to enter the parking lot, to avoid this fee just have them drop you off outside of it and walk in. Be sure to arrive early at the harbor before your boat leaves. And donât worry if you missed breakfast, thereâs a lot of places to buy food and drink at the harbor! Arriving at Nusa Penida After about 30 minutes on a speedboat, you will arrive at Nusa Penida. If youâre on a tour, a vehicle will be waiting for you. Otherwise, unless you have prior arrangements, at the harbor you can bargain with someone to rent a motorbike or catch a ride to your hotel or next destination. Donât worry about no one being there, if anything its overwhelming how many people bombard you with offers. I wasnât ready for this, so keep a cool head, be prepared to be rushed and given higher prices, and use your haggling skills! If you decide pay a driver, depending on where your hotel or hostel is on Nusa Penida, itâs about 100,000 IDR ~$7 USD to get there with one of the drivers from the port. 2019 price From Nusa Penida Back to Bali If you booked a tour, your transportation back will obviously be covered. However, if not you simply go about it the same way you did to get there. Hotels on Nusa Penida will have information about returning back to Bali, or you can book online on 12Go. Transportation on the island How to get around Nusa Penida is a detail I did not consider before coming and a lot of people donât. Unlike Bali there are no rideshares, public transportation, or taxis. Itâs either you rent a motorbike or car yourself, or you have a private driver. Renting a motorbike Renting a motorbike on Nusa Penida is a popular option, especially for backpackers on a budget staying a few days. But although itâs a cheap option, there is one thing to consider the roads on Nusa Penida are notorious for being really, really bad. There are tons of potholes and many portions of the road are just torn up gravel, most of which are up and down steep hills and curvy roads. I know many people think theyâre invincible, but seriously driving a motorbike in Nusa Penida is only for experienced drivers. If you do opt to rent a motorbike, be extremely cautious, wear a helmet, and have travel insurance â I saw a lot of rent a motorbike, you can do so from your accommodation, from a vendor, from the harbor when you arrive OR online here. Motorbikes should be around 75,000 IDR $5 USD per day. Renting a motorbike with a driver When I visited Nusa Penida, I had never driven a motorbike in my life. When I heard about the roads, I knew it would be really stupid to try on my own. Now after seeing those roads, I know I could have gotten really hurt, even if I did know how to being on a budget, I didnât want to break the bank getting a private car to go around the island by myself, so I actually paid someone working at my hostel to drive me around on their motorbike. It was a lot of fun and I got to witness beautiful views without the stress of driving myself. I paid 300,000 IDR ~$20 USD per day. To do this, just ask your hotel or hostel if they offer the service, if not they most likely will know someone to call. Renting a private car with a driver If youâre not traveling alone, renting a private car with a driver is a really good option because itâs safer than a motorbike and you can split the price with your fellow travelers. When you arrive at the port of Nusa Penida, you can hire a driver there, just by asking one of the men. You can also book from your hotel/hostel, or online at Klook or GetYourGuide. Renting a private car with driver is around 500,000 IDR ~$35 USD per day 2019 price. Places to See on Nusa Penida On the West Coast of Nusa Penida 1. Kelingking Beach Photos of this unique, curved coastline is what has started to draw more and more people to Nusa Penida; itâs probably the most visited part of the island! And even if youâve already seen a thousand photos online, itâs unreal to personally stand in front of the T-Rex shaped cliff, and watch the blue waves roll into the rock face. Cost Parking 5,000 IDR ~$ USD and entrance fee 10,000 IDR ~$ USD Unless youâre driving yourself on a motorbike, you usually wonât have to pay this.Tip Arrive early morning if you want to miss the crowd. 2. Angel's Billabong Most people describe Angelâs billabong as a natural infinity pool because when itâs low tide, it sits above the ocean water and youâre able to swim there. If youâre like me and didnât know this, you might end up there at high tide! You wonât be able to swim, but you will see how clear the water is and youâll witness some massive waves coming in and hitting the rock face! Cost Parking 5,000 IDR ~$ USD â you only pay once for Angelâs Billabong, Broken Beach, and Manta Bay ViewpointTip If you want to swim here, you need to come at low tide. Ask the locals when this is! 3. Broken Beach Walking distance from Angelâs Billabong is Broken Beach. This cove is surrounded by cliffs that eventually form a natural bridge. Although you are not able to go down to the beach, the overlook is still a sweet spot. Watching the waves roll in through the opening in the wall was mesmerizing. Cost Parking 5,000 IDR ~$ USD â you only pay once for Angelâs Billabong, Broken Beach, and Manta Bay Viewpoint Tip To really get the full experience, make sure and walk around the cove and over the natural bridge! 4. Manta Bay Viewpoint Manta Bay is just on the other side of Broken Beach. Sometimes, you are able to look down and see the magnificent manta ray swimming below. When I visited, I wasnât able to see any because there were so many waves, but because itâs so close to Broken Beach, its worth it to check and see! Cost Parking 5,000 IDR ~$ USD â you only pay once for Angelâs Billabong, Broken Beach, and Manta Bay ViewpointTip Go at low tide to have a better chance of spotting a manta ray! On the East Side of Nusa Penida 5. Pura Goa Giri Putri Cave On my way to the East Coast of Nusa Penida, I stopped at Pura Goa Putri Cave which is a Hindu Temple inside a cave! In order to enter, you have to crawl through a small opening. Once inside the ceiling opens up and you follow a pathway leading to multiple prayers sights and then come out the back of the cave. Itâs really so interesting! Cost 20,000 IDR ~$ USDTip Bring a sarong if you can, as you have to cover your knees to enter a Hindu temple. However, if you donât have one, they do offer some at the temple for you to borrow. 6. Diamond Beach Diamond beach, like Kelingking beach, has started to really blow up on social media. And for good reason! This beach is paradise, but when I visited without the crowds. Cost 5,000 IDR ~$ USD for parking and 10,000 IDR ~$ USD entrance â this covers Diamond Beach and Atuh BeachTip When going down to the beach, be careful on the stairs as they become more narrow. 7. Atuh Beach Atuh Beach is the most âcommercialâ of the beaches meaning it has plenty of lounge chairs and local food vendors or warungs. I ate a delicious lunch here with an incredible view of crystal clear water. Also, if you buy food or drink, they offer you a chair for free to lounge in later! Cost 5,000 IDR ~$ USD for parking and 10,000 IDR ~$ USD entrance â this covers Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach Tip Many people who look up photos of Atuh Beach see photos of Sebele beach, which has been mistakenly called Atuh Beach. Sebele beach is actually on the other side; I did not know this when I visited; I definitely need to go back to see that beach too! 8. Thousand Island Pulau Seribu Viewpoint This viewpoint was probably my favorite! There was no one there except for a few people passing through, so I got to sit and enjoy the view for awhile without any disturbance. And thatâs really what you need to take in this view, because itâs absolutely magnificent! Cost 5,000 IDR ~$ USD to park and 10,000 IDR ~$ USD for entrance â this covers Thousand Island Viewpoint and Rumah Pohon Treehouse Tip This place is interchangeably called Thousand Island Viewpoint or Pulau Seribu; itâs the same place! 9. Rumah Pohon Treehouse The Rumah Pohon Treehouse is another instagram phenomena. Just next to the Thousand Island Viewpoint, the treehouse offers another perspective of the cliff and is a picture perfect scene. *I was definitely under the impression the treehouse was just a cute place for pictures, etc. however you can actually book to stay there! Keep in mind, it is very simple accommodation, just a mattress from what Iâve heard, so youâre really just paying for the view. Cost 5,000 IDR ~$ USD to park and 10,000 IDR ~$ USD for entrance â this covers Thousand Island Viewpoint and Rumah Pohon TreehouseTip Keep going past the treehouse, up the hill for another lookout! Other Places to See on Nusa Penida These places are a little more off the beaten path, and I never got to chance to visit myself. Next time! Suwehan Beach Peguyangan Waterfall Seganing waterfall Crystal Bay Beach Nusa Penida Tembeling Beach, Natural Pool and Forest Saren Cliff Viewpoint Sebele Beach Snorkeling and Diving at Nusa Penida Manta Point Although there are several spots for snorkeling and diving off the coast of Nusa Penida, the most famous is Manta Point. Manta Point is where tons of manta rays come to feed naturally, not fed by humans. So although it is not guaranteed you will see any, there is still a big chance you will see many gigantic, manta rays! When I went snorkeling here, I was actually sea sick from the boat. But I wanted to see these beautiful creatures so badly I jumped in the water anyways. And Iâm so happy I did. My mind was absolutely blown! Manta rays surrounded me. They glided through the water so gracefully, the movement of their body portraying them as if they were flying. And theyâre not shy at all either; many times they would swim right at me, and I had to dodge their gigantic body. Manta rays are not dangerous at all, however, to touch them you risk damaging their skin. Despite the sea sickness, this was one of the most magical moments of my life and I highly recommend anyone traveling to Nusa Penida do it. If youâre taking a day trip, itâs possible to book a tour that includes this. However, if not you can book with a dive company on the island. I booked my snorkeling tour through Mambo Dive Resort and thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with them. They were a lot of fun, very respectful of nature, informative, and it was reasonably price at 350,000 IDR ~$25 USD. We went to two snorkeling places, Manta Point and a spot to see coral either Gamat or Crystal Bay. There are some snorkeling companies that will offer 4 or so snorkeling points, but I personally recommend only doing two one being Manta Point so you can spend more time at Manta Point. Other snorkeling spots at Nusa Penida besides Manta Point Gamat BayCrystal BayWall BayToyapakeh Wall PointBuddha Temple Where to Stay on Nusa Penida If youâve decided thereâs so much to see on Nusa Penida and you would like to take your time and explore, there are plenty of accommodation options on this small island, from budget to luxury. Hostels If youâre a solo traveler and looking to save some money, hostels are the way to go. When it comes to hostels, Nusa Penida has quite a few for such a small island. And theyâre definitely budget friendly! Hostels range from $5-15 USD, and some even have a I visited Nusa Penida I stayed at Packer Box Hostel, which was simple, but clean and comfortable and I met some amazing people there! If youâre traveling as a group of 2, private rooms can also be a really cheap option to split. Many of the hostels on Nusa Penida offer private rooms that are just as much as a dorm option at another hostel. On Hostelworld private rooms range from $15 â 40 USD. Tip When Booking Accommodation on Nusa Penida While you get excited about beautiful places and are mind blown by how cheap they are, donât forget to check the location. Nusa Penida is a small island, but it takes a very long time to get places. So weigh the pros and cons of accommodation options and proximity to where you want to visit. Best Time to Visit Nusa Penida Nusa Penida can be explored at any point in the year! However, itâs best May to September when itâs almost guaranteed dry weather.

Hereâs some resources I used to book and coordinate my itinerary through Thailand along with some recommendationsHostelsIf youâre a budget traveler or looking for an easy way to meet others, Hostelworld is the best place to search. Below are some of my recommendations, click to search for availability! Canguu The Farm HostelUbud Puri Garden Hotel & Hostel OR The Wayan House OR Ubud Rice Field HouseNusa Penida Packer Box Hostel OR Nuansa Penida HostelSeminyak My Capsule BaliKuta Lombok Pipes HostelGili Air H20 Yoga & Meditartion Center OR Tipsea TurtleGili Trawangan Atlas Gili is the way to go when search for hotels in Indonesia because they typically offer free cancellation with plenty of affordable to more luxurious stays â also for cheap! Flights Flights to Indonesia are typically cheapest to Jakarta but shouldnât be too much more directly to Bali/Denpasar. I flew to Singapore and then flew to Bali which is also a good option. Domestic flights within Indonesia can be more or less affordable especially if traveling light. There are ferry options, but the waters between island can be pretty wild so if you can, I recommend flying. To find the best deal & prices I recommend using Skyscanner. BUSES/Ferries/& more The easiest ways to search for ways to get around Indonesia are with 12GoAsia and Klook. Both platforms show various options ferries, buses, flights, etc. so you can compare option and prices in English. Check 12GoAsia out here and check out Klook here Insurance Travel insurance is a must for every trip to ensure youâre covered in unexpected situations. My go to travel insurance is always WorldNomads which has a generous coverage and is made for backpackers. You can search for coverage here. However if youâre looking for a cheaper option for travel medical emergency insurance, I also suggest Safety Wing. Tours & Experiences Thereâs a lot of free thing to do in Indonesia and/or experiences you can do on your own. I always recommend checking blog posts for inspiration. If youâre interested in tours and experiences though like snorkeling, cooking classes & more then I most recommend Klook and GetYourGuide for Indonesia.

Juli 2019 Hi! Kali ini ke Nusa Penida sendirian, wellâŠwhy not! Apa saja yang harus di persiapkan? Yang harus kita tahu sebelum pergi? Berapa biaya nya? Kemana saja tempat wisatanya? Bagaimana supaya bisa dapat foto yang bagus kalau sendirian? Semua yang di bahas disini atas pengalaman pribadi, so letâs check it out! Kemarin pergi tgl1-6Juli 2019, di Nusa Penida tgl 3-4Juli. Di artikel kali ini hanya tentang Nusa Penida, yang di Bali lihat post berikutnya ya ^-^. Tgl 1-2 sampai di Bali, menginap di daerah Sanur, tanggal 2 beli tiket fast boat untuk besok pagi. Tgl 3 pagi check out hostel dan berangkat ke Nusa Penida sampai di Toyapakeh keliling area Barat dan Timur sampai jam dan check in HostelTgl 4 snorkeling dijemput ojek ke dermaga. balik ke hostel dengan ojek. Check out dan balik ke dermaga Sanur Karena air surut, jadi sampai di Sanur pukul Tiket fast boat pp, beli sehari sebelumnya di dermaga Sanur. Ada banyak kios yang menawarkan jasa kapal mereka dengan kisaran 200ribu untuk pulang pergi. Tapi karena ada teman yang tinggal di Bali, jadi dengan sedikit logat bilang âkemarin saya pergi 150ribu ppâ, lalu di kasih deh. Saya pakai kapal Semabu Hills, dengan 5 mesin, keberangkatan jam pagi jam paling awal dari semua kapal dan pulang jam 5 sore paling terakhir. Dermaga Sanur, naik kapal harus basah sedikit tergantung ombak, jadi pakai celana pendek dan tas di angkat. Ada juga potter tas supaya tidak basah- 10ribu Booking hostel di Sanur. Karena pergi sendiri, jadi menginapnya di hostel. Harga lebih murah dan bisa ngobrol dengan turis,jadi tidak kesepian. Holiday mood akan lebih terasa- new experience. Karena akan ke dermaga Sanur, jadi menginap yang dekat dermaga- daerah Sanur, jadi bisa naik Gojek dan bangun tidur tidak perlu terlalu pagi. Booking hostel di Nusa Penida. Rekomen tinggalnya di Nuansa Penida Hostel â fasilitas toko, sewa motor dan pengisian bensin, restaurant, kolam renang, paket tur dan snorkeling, breakfast. Bersih, rapih, asri, staff ramah- feel like home, dapat welcome drink n welcome towel. 212rb per malam. Dari dermaga ke hostel naik ojek 25rb. Sewa motor/ mobil. Aku kemarin sewa mobil dengan driver, jadi langsung minta di jemput di dermaga dan langsung keliling. 500ribu untuk satu arah sudah termasuk bensin. Ada 3 arah tujuan, Timur , Barat, dan Utara. Aku negosiasi dengan driver nya, jd dapat 850rb untuk Barat dan Timur. Perlengkapan. Bawa topi, sunblock, outfit untuk foto-foto Makanan. Ada banyak warung atau restaurant di sekitar spot yang dikunjungi. Jadi tidak perlu khawatir kehausan atau kelaparan. Aku beli nasi bungkus- 10ribu isi ayam, ikan asin, mie goreng, tahu pedas di Crystal Beach. Enak. 2. Tempat Wisata di Nusa Penida Barat Crystal Bay Beach, Angelâs Billabong dan Broken Beach, Kelingking Teletubbies Hill, Rumah Pohon/ Molenteng, Atuh Beach dan Diamond Beach. Snorkeling dari dermaga Toya Pakeh, sesuai urutan- Manta point, Gamat, Wall. Bisa ke pulau Lembongan dan Ceningan dalam 1 hari, atau menginap. gak keburu kesini ney, maybe next time Crystal Beach 9 am, ombaknya kencang. Ada beberapa turis yang sedang snorkeling walau arus nya begitu. ada ruang bilas 5-10ribu. Jasa snorkeling 1 spot ini 200ribu. Padahal ada juga yang menawarkan 4 spot termasuk ini 300ribu- cari di dermaga. Di sini juga ada warung. Pasirnya hitam, dan terbilang pantai yang pendek, di luar expektasi, walau ada turis yang bilang sunset disini bagus. Angelâs Billabong dan Broken Beach ini lokasinya cuma 1, tapi spot untuk lihat pantainya berlainan. Driver yang antar sudah tahu posisi untuk berfoto, jadi dia langsung antri dan aku tinggal ambil posisi jeprat-jepret yang banyak, hehe. Antrinya sekitar 5-10menit Follow my IG rianasari__ double underscore Kelingking Beach, agak kecil areanya kalau dibandingkan Angel dan Broken Beach. bisa turun kebawah tapi curam dan satu jalur. Bisa ketemu monkeys disini. Jangan lupa minta dibawa ke tempat foto ini. Naik mobil sedikit, sekitar 5menit. Bagus. Arah Timur Teletubbies Hill, Rumah Pohon/ Molenteng, Atuh Beach dan Diamond Beach. Teletubies menurutku biasa aja, tapi memang padang terbentang dan angin dingin kencang rasanya seneng berlama-lama disana. Tapi karena memang liar, jadi tidak cocok juga kalau mau piknik disitu. Atuh Beach pas kesana kering saat lihat dari spot Diamond Beach, airnya sudah surut, sekitar jam 3-4 sore. Jadi cuma lihat dari situ aja, not interested Rumah Pohon ada 3 bangunan. Untuk berfoto di rumah pohon, harus turun dan naik tangga dulu- cukup jauh. Pas mau balik, harus naik, jadi agak ngos-ngos an. hehe. Jadi ku disana sekitar 1 jam . View pantainya juga Diamond Beach dari sisi yang berbeda. 3. Biaya Tiket pesawat AirAsia pulang pergi 1,5jutaHostel Sanur 100 ribu / malamGojek ke dermaga 9ribuTiket fast boat pp 150ribuRental mobil+ driver 850ribu terios, 9am-5pmTips driver karena jago nyetir nya dan sudah rajin foto-fotoinHostel Nuansa Penida 212ribu/ malamSnorkeling + antar jemput 300rbMakan 85ribu 3kaliJajan/ air minum 5-10ribu/botolToilet 5ribu sekali masuk WCFoto di sangkar burung 5ribuOjek dari hostel ke dermaga 25ribuTips driver 4. Review, Sebelum pergi harus tahu ini dulu- Tips Di sekitar pintu masuk Dermaga Sanur ada Rumah makan Mak Beng. Ramai terus. Bisa order ikan goreng/kuah nya saja. tapi kalau paket, dapat dua2nya seharga 55ribu. Untuk rasa, menurutku biasa saja, sambalnya oke, ikannya besar dan tidak bau amis. Sayangya tempat ini tidak ber AC, jadi panas amat karena banyak pengunjung. Biasa setelah balik dari Nusa Penida, banyak yang makan disini. Dermaga Sanur ramai dari subuh, orang-orang suka melihat sun rise disini. Naik fast boat, kata beberapa blogger berombak kencang dan membuat mual. Tapi menurutku di pagi hari, airnya tenang. dan saat pulang jam 5 sore, airnya surut dan penumpang semua kapal harus berjalan ketengah laut dan menginjak karang untuk naik kapal kecil dahulu baru pindah ke kapal untuk ke Sanur. Jadi keadaannya agak padat karena karang untuk orang-orang berdiri menunggu kapal tidak terlalu lebar. Apalagi pihak kapal tidak memberi pengarahan, jadi banyak yang khawatir tertinggal kapal, sehingga desa-desakan. Ini terjadi setelah bulan purnama lewat- kata seorang ibu penduduk asli Nusa Penida. So, beware and donât di Nusa penida ada beberapa spot perhentian kapal, jadi kalau mau janjian dengan driver, pastikan tempatnya yang jelas, karena signal juga kadang agak susah di Setelah turun dari kapal, ada banyak ibu dan bapak yang menawarkan jasa motor dan mobil. Mereka kebanyakan buka harga 75ribu untuk motor dan 600rb untuk mobil per harinya. Kalau aku sudah booking dari jauh hari sebelumnya Wayan masih muda081339229568. Bawa Terios nya memang pintar dan cepat sampai walau jalanan ada yang cukup parah- sempit, berkelok, menanjak dan berlubang-lubang besar. Check in-out tempat inap tidak cocok dengan jadwal kapal yang ku booking. Rencananya memang dari pagi di Nusa Penida langsung keliling, makanya sudah booking mobil juga, padahal kalau di Hostel, bisa barengan share cost dengan turis yang menginap di hostel itu. Dan jam pulang fast boat jam 5 padahal check out jam 12. Jadi walaupun di perbolehkan stay di hostel tidak boleh masuk kamar, hanya di sekitar kolam, lobby, etc hanya seperti membuang waktu saja, karena mau keliling pun hanya beberapa jam sedangkan spot yang ada jauh-jauh. Snorkeling. Aku ikut paket yag sudah ada di hostel, yaitu 250ribu dan 25ribu x 2 untuk pulang pergi naik ojek ke dermaga. Pas di awal, aku konfirmasi dengan kapten kalau spot yang akan dikunjungi ada 4, tetapi ternyata hanya 3. Untuk patung Budha di dalam laut sudah tidak ada- sudah di angkut patungnya kata kapten, karena masalah persaingan tempat snorkeling kata kapten kapal lho. Spot snorkeling yang ku coba Gamat, Manta Point, Wall. Menurutku area snorkeling di Nusa Penida ini berarus SANGAT kencang, jadi sulit untuk berenang. Sudah sekuat tenaga mengayuh fin, tapi tetap di spot yang sama, hehe. Dan waktu itu tidak ada awak kapal, jadi kapten hanya menunggu di kapal, tidak ada yang menemani snorkeling. untung aku gak ilang n bisa balik ke kapal, hahaha Untuk daerah Wall, paling bagus..yah karena di wall, banyak ikannya. dan arusnya searah, jadi tidak perlu berenang melawan arus seperti di Gamat dan Manta P. Waktu snorkeling juga cuma sebentar, am. Padahal belum puas snorkeling, eh sudah balik ke hostel. Apakah aman? kalau yang belum terbiasa snorkeling di arus kencang, lebih baik jangan. Tapi tetap aman, kalau ada sesuatu bisa minta tolong karena spot berenangnya biasanya Tempat Wisata. Mau yang Timur atau Barat? Menurutku pantai nya bagus yang di Barat. Harus lihat birunya laut dan hempasan ombak yang keren. Tapi kalau cukup waktu, memang harus ke arah Timur juga. karena sensasinya beda, merasakan jalanan menuju lokasinya saja antara Barat dan Timur sudah beda rasa nya⊠Tapi kalau mau seperti aku juga bisa, sehari ambil dua2nya, negosiasi saja dengan driver nya. Memang melelahkan banget⊠tapi ada juga tempat wisata di jalur Utara, tapi kata beberapa orang kurang bagus. Ke toilet bayar 5000, kenapa mahal? kata penduduk disana, air bersih susah di dapat. Dan pengirimannya juga jauh-jauh. Jadi jangan complain ya, anggap saja sekalian motor aman? Banyak turis yang jatuh dari motor, dan karena tanah disana berkarang kapur, jadi tidak sedikit yang terluka. Jadi hati-hati ya! Semoga pemerintah bisa lebih cepat memperbaiki jalanan nya dan membangun fasilitas dermaga yang lama waktu yang dibutuhkan antara 1 tempat ke tempat lainnya? Ada yang sekitar 15 menit, ada juga yang 30 menit. Kalau dari barat ke timur sekitar 1 jam di awal Juli 2019 kemarin tidak terlalu padat turisnya Dan ini juga bergantung dari kepadatan tris dan cekatan pengemudi ya! Biasanya kalau pengemudinya masih muda, lebih cepat nyetirnya. Sekian dulu catatan Nusa Penida kali ini. Thanks sudah mampir. Really appreciate it!Happy Holiday! Happy traveling!-Ria- Navigasi pos

It offers ample opportunity for self-reflection and growth with the joy of boundless freedom. It can also be daunting, especially if youâve never traveled solo before. As COVID-19 travel restrictions continue to ease, we're all ready to get out and explore the world. For those traveling solo, we want to make sure you're prepared and inspired to make the most of your trip. So we reached out to our online community on Twitter and Facebook to compile a list of top solo travel tips from seasoned wanderers and wayfarers who have navigated their own paths across the world. Here are the top 20 tips they had to share. Squeeze every moment out of your next vacation with tips and tricks from Lonely Planet in our weekly newsletter delivered to your inbox.

Safety first One of the top concerns for people planning a solo trip is safety. While it definitely pays to be cautious, it shouldnât stop you from heading off on your next adventure. Picking the right destination can make all the difference, with some places more suited to solo travel than others. Always make sure to check ahead of time with the CDC and the country's embassy online to ensure you're up to date with their COVID-19 testing and vaccination protocols. Travel insurance is always a good idea, especially with the uncertainty of COVID-19, as is keeping family and friends notified of your whereabouts. Apps like Find My Friends have proven popular for this, providing peace of mind for people back home. "I always prepare in advance of a solo trip, just in case of emergency. If I am going somewhere further afield, I inform the embassy. I check for advisories issued by the consulate and I write down an emergency number to contact and a list of medical allergies," says travel blogger Chandresh Jain. 10 destinations perfect for solo travel 2. Learn the local language It may sound obvious, but making the effort to learn a handful of phrases in the native tongue can make a huge difference in how you experience a country, especially when you donât have anyone with you to lean on for translations. "Whenever I travel, I always make sure to at least learn how to say Hello, thank you, excuse me, sorry and pleaseâ. It has opened up so many doors for me, and it shows locals that I am genuinely interested in learning about their culture," says Alberto Ruiz GĂłmez, who has traveled to 15 countries in Asia and the Middle East solo.

Talk to the locals Very often, the key to having a unique and unforgettable experience when taking any type of trip is the willingness to stray from the usual path and side-step the tourist spots. "My favorite thing is to sit at a bar in a restaurant where there are lots of locals and strike up a conversation with the bartender or staff. I ask for advice on what to see, and I usually get great inside tips. Passers-by chime in, and Iâve ended up traveling with locals in this way," food lover and cook Anna Rider says. 4. Look for shared housing options Be open to shared accommodation options, as a single-occupancy hotel room can be both expensive and letâs face it, lonely at times. Staying in hostels and Airbnbs are a particularly good way to meet people. "I stay in small hotels, B&Bs, campsites or hostels with only a handful of rooms and guests. That way you are part of a family, and making contact with your hosts or fellow travelers is so much easier. After a long day of hiking and exploring, it feels a bit like coming home," explains Katrien Beullens. 5. Go your own way Everyone is different, so picking a trip tailored to your unique personality and interests will be the key to having a good time when traveling solo. To jump-start your solo adventure, the view above features the best cities for solo travel. "If youâre a sociable person, a bustling city like Hanoi, with its fantastic coffee-chilling culture is perfect to people watch, while undertakings like the Camino de Santiago offers the best of both worlds in terms of your own space and the chance to connect with others. Many people do it solo with headphones on and engage in camaraderie only when they have to or want to," travel blogger Ăna-Minh Kavanagh says.

Challenge yourself Boredom and loneliness can happen at times when solo traveling, but finding ways to keep yourself entertained and curious can also lead to you seeing a city in a new way. "I travel often on business and embrace it as an opportunity to experience the sort of thing that my family wouldnât necessarily be keen on us doing together. To keep things interesting, I often establish some sort of theme. For instance, in Berlin last year I challenged my 50-something-year-old self to spend two days experiencing the city on the same sort of budget that I would have had 30 years previously as a cash-strapped interrailer. This meant exploring the Cold War history of the city, yet not paying a single entrance fee. Iâm delighted to report that itâs possible â and enormous fun!" explains Catherine Reichardt. 7. Experience it all When Airbnb introduced experiences, diverse local-led activities in cities all around the world, it completely reshaped the industry. Now, solo travelers around the world can take part in countless unique experiences, while meeting new people. "No matter where I go, I always search for an Airbnb experience unique to that destination. In Cuba, I learned the history of Che Guevara and the battle of Santa Clara, while in Spain I went on a tapas crawl. I come away feeling as if Iâve had a genuine taste of local culture," Sam Moore explains. What are the most welcoming destinations according to Black women traveling solo?

Many travelers report heightened feelings of confidence and happiness after undertaking a trip by themselves, as well as some newfound outlooks on life. "Cycling through remote places all by myself was the most fulfilling experience I ever had. I learned so much about myself, my abilities and most importantly what it means to be happy," says Nina Schwarzenberg. 9. Try Couchsurfing Another popular choice with seasoned solo travelers is Couchsurfing, a networking site that connects locals and visitors in cities around the world. Hosts can offer a couch or a spare room, and members can meet up for events. Itâs good to exercise caution whenever you're interacting with unfamiliar people, but the site allows user reviews and comments, meaning travelers can get a sense of who they will be staying with ahead of time. "Couchsurfing and Meetup are my favorite ways of connecting with new people when I am solo traveling. Itâs a great way to meet locals and learn more about each place," suggests Benjamin Houy. 10. Take your time Solo travel means ultimate freedom more and more people are leaving their partners at home to travel. Embrace it and take things at your own speed. One day you may feel inspired to go sightseeing, while another may call for a slower pace. The joy is making the decisions yourself. 'The downside of visiting a museum with friends is trying to match their pace as you pass through the galleries. When I travel solo, I embrace the freedom of being alone and grab the museum audio guide. The headphones might look silly, but it allows me to learn more about the things Iâm really interested in, and spend as much time as I want on exactly what I want," says Lonely Planet staffer Alex Butler. 11. Be your own photographer Solo travel is a photography enthusiasts' dream. With no plan or schedule, a day can easily be spent capturing shots of bustling side streets and beautiful landscapes. And when it comes to capturing a moment with yourself, sometimes itâs good to look beyond the selfie. "I have started taking a tripod with me for shots of myself in different places. I donât care how I look, I have learned that capturing the memory is more important than feeling self-conscious. Most people donât even notice me and sometimes they even offer to take my photo," explains vlogger Paul Justine. 12. Get lost Itâs easy to overthink and over plan many aspects of travel, especially when youâre by yourself. Sometimes, having the confidence to just wander around and see where the day or night takes you can lead to some of the best stories. "When I traveled around Poland, my favorite thing to do was to allow myself to get lost in the cities I visited. Countless times I would stumble upon a beautiful park or square, and the surprise made it all the better," says Celia Montes, who has been to 27 countries.

Join a tour An organized day tour or a longer package group holiday suits many solo travelers, allowing you to make friends while on the road. "Going with an escorted tour is how I saw the world on my own. Itâs a bit more expensive but safe, and I always had people to holiday with. It meant no solo meals, I hate them, and I shared the adventures with people I didnât know previously. I even met my partner on a solo escorted tour in Thailand eight years ago," Tara Kelly explains. 14. Ask for advice There are many ways to research an upcoming trip, and now, social media means itâs easier than ever to ask locals for advice on whatâs best to see. We shared some of our travel mishaps, and if you donât learn from our mistakes, maybe youâll relate. "I reach out to travel writers and YouTubers that live in the area Iâm traveling to. They give great advice for both touristy and non-touristy things to see, do and eat, as well as areas to avoid. Some have even invited me to meet up with them and their friends. This happened in Rome and Barcelona!" says Austin Dillman. 15. Work for room and board If saving money and meeting people is on the top of your list of priorities, working while traveling is always an option. Websites such as Workaway and Helpx help connect backpackers and travelers with farms, home-stays, ranches and families where they can lend a hand in exchange for room and board. "I love working while solo-traveling. You can stay at a place and offer a few hours of your time and get accommodation and food free of charge. Fellow volunteers and hosts are usually amazing and you get to experience a country from a different perspective. I personally like staying in the countryside and then going off to explore cities for a couple of days. You form unique bonds with people, and sometimes you even find a person to continue your travels with," suggests Ruby Engel. Cruises offer a variety of experiences that are great for solo or group travel © Andrew Peacock / Getty Images 16. Join a cruise Some solo travelers love complete freedom, while others enjoy having more structured options. Multi-destination cruises tread a comfortable middle ground for many people, allowing them to kick back and relax in a group at their leisure, or go off on a mini solo adventure once they disembark at a new destination. "My best solo trips have been on cruises. You can easily go on excursions, and then enjoy downtime or chat with as many people as you want when back on the ship. Safe, easy, fun! I often add a few days before or after embarking or disembarking in various countries," says MĂ©lanie Bouchard. 17. Expand your skills Whether itâs a semester abroad or a short course in a new city, taking part in an educational program in a different country is a great way to get a different view of life. "Take a class, learn a language, go on a walking tour, find a theme week. My solo travels were to Italy to attend language school. Classes were in the morning, with afternoons and evenings free, and lots of opportunities to mingle with others at the school. I've been on plenty of group trips since then, such as a week of yoga and painting," Deidre Heitman explains.

Make wise choices Thrifty travel is great, but when youâre by yourself, waiting around for those cost-saving transfers can feel all the more monotonous. Balancing out whether bargains are worth the added time and budgeting in a clever way can make for a better all-around experience. "When booking a trip and trying to get a bargain, imagine how you will feel on the day. For example, was it worth saving money if you have to wait longer at the airport, or if you have to catch a bus instead of a plane? Itâs always great to save money, but I ultimately ask myself if it is worth it if it wastes a day in unnecessary waiting or travel. Time is also money!" suggests Edana Sinclair. 19. Trust your gut Putting yourself out there, meeting new people and exploring a city safely while traveling solo requires balance. In most cases, common sense and a little bit of pre-planning should be just fine, as well as trusting yourself. âI love solo travel and in all my years I have had very few negative experiences. I always research where I am going, know the good areas and the not-so-good ones, and read up on potential street scams. Beyond that, I try to trust my intuition and never place myself in a situation I am not comfortable with,â says Ellen Friel. 20. Embrace total freedom Solo travel allows you to be whoever you want to be. Dive into the experience, trust yourself and take the chance to express all aspects of your personality. "What I love about traveling solo as a female is the liberation. The chance to be free in a country where nobody knows you and you can be whatever you want. It leads to joy and happiness for me. I love the challenge of being by yourself and learning how to face obstacles if any. This is the chance for you to embrace different cultures, make friends with locals, try authentic food, learn a new language or just explore the beauty of the country," explains Fritz Tarrosa.
