NUSA CENINGAN
The smallest of the 3 islands located between Nusa Lembongan & Nusa Penida, Nusa Ceningan offers a chance to experience untouched nature. With a population of around 1500 this Island has not yet been built up to accommodate large amounts of tourists. The clear waters offer perfect snorkelling and diving and the quiet beaches offer your own peace of paradise.

NUSA PENIDA
The largest of the 3 Islands & the furthest from Bali, Nusa Penida is over 200km2 with a population of around 45 000. Although large in size Nusa Penida has not been built up as a tourist area due to lack of resources. The coast offers many hidden snorkelling and diving areas and a visit to the village gives insight into how the locals live.

An early morning dolphin cruise is sure to delight or watch the sunset and enjoy a buffet dinner on a range if evening cruises. For those who like to do things their own way private boat charter is also available at very reasonable prices.
