How to get to Nusa Penida from Bali and how much does scooter rental cost?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 13 days ago
TL;DR
Buy speedboat tickets at Sanur port (up to 200k IDR one way). Rent a scooter on arrival — roads are rough and attractions are spread out. Plan at least 3 days.
What the community said
Scooters are available for rent right at the Nusa Penida pier from morning to evening, making it easy to pick one up right after arriving.

A convenient option is booking ferry tickets through trip services that include Bali transfers, then hiring a local driver separately on the island.

At the Nusa Penida port exit there are plenty of driver-guides offering island tours for a small fee. However, given the rough roads and winding terrain, renting a scooter yourself — also available at the port — is often the better choice.

A day trip to Nusa Penida is not recommended — attractions are far apart and the roads are challenging. Staying 3 days is ideal; accommodation costs up to 400,000 IDR per night.
