TL;DR
Popular trips from Nusa Dua include a one-day Nusa Penida tour covering four beaches, a full day for 4–5 Ubud stops, Ayung River rafting, and a three-dive day. Allow a full day for Nusa Penida if you want to cover the main sights.
For a first visit to Nusa Penida, set aside a full day to see the island’s main attractions without rushing. If you need to be back in Sanur that evening, factor in travel time to the harbour and the return boat.
One possible Nusa Penida day tour covers four beaches. It is a packed itinerary, so it is best planned as a separate day rather than combined with Ubud or mainland Bali activities.
Alternatives to a beach excursion include a day in Ubud with 4–5 stops, Ayung River rafting, or a day of diving with three dives. A Mount Batur sunrise trek and a surfing lesson also work best as separate activities.
