Nusa Penida’s West & South Coast Explorer: Manta Rays, Hidden Springs & Iconic Cliffs

Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the stunning island of Nusa Penida, just off the coast of Bali. This special tour package combines thrilling encounters with majestic manta rays with visits to some of the island's most iconic and hidden gems, including the natural beauty of Tembeling Beach and the breathtaking views from Kelingking Beach. Get ready for a day filled with natural wonders, dramatic landscapes, and incredible photo opportunities!

Tour Highlights

• Manta Point Cliff: Witness the incredible sight of giant manta rays gracefully swimming in their natural habitat. While we'll be observing from a cliffside viewpoint, the sheer size and beauty of these creatures are awe-inspiring. Please note: Manta ray sightings are subject to ocean conditions and the natural behavior of the mantas, so while highly likely, they cannot be 100% guaranteed.
• Tembeling Beach & Forest: Discover a hidden paradise! This secluded beach is accessed via a short trek through a lush forest, leading to natural freshwater pools perfect for a refreshing dip, and a pristine, tranquil beach. It's a true escape from the crowds.
• Kelingking Beach: Stand in awe of Nusa Penida's most famous landmark, often dubbed "T-Rex Bay" due to its unique rock formation resembling a dinosaur. Enjoy panoramic views of the turquoise ocean, the white sand beach, and the dramatic cliffs that plunge into the sea. This is a must-see for its incredible natural beauty and photo opportunities.
