Adit picked us up and took us to Sanur Pier, where he made sure everything was perfectly prepared while we enjoyed our morning coffee. From sorting out our return tickets to coordinating with our driver in Nusa Penida, Kadek, Adit handled it all seamlessly.
The ferry ride was smooth and pleasant. When we arrived, Kadek(pictured) was already waiting for us, holding a clear signage so we could spot him easily.
Kadek turned out to be an incredible tour guide. Since we didn’t have a heavy breakfast, he thoughtfully took us to a nice spot to eat before starting our adventure. He’s also a super talented photographer, capturing stunning shots of the beautiful views around us. We were absolutely thrilled with the outcome!
Being a popular tourist hotspot, it did get a bit crowded at times, but Kadek was brilliant at maneuvering through the situation. We hardly had to worry about anything—just followed his lead and enjoyed the experience.
Added on, the lunch provided was really good too! We’re exceptionally happy with this and how everything was handled.
Overall, we had an amazing and stress-free day, and we’re so pleased with how everything turned out!

Highly recommended to book here for a hassle free trip to Nusa Penida. What an opportunity to see these beautiful places. We have two drivers, one is GD (wearing black shirt) who picked us up in the hotel to the harbor and vice versa, he was nice and punctual. Our driver and guide in the Nusa Penida is Lufti (wearing red shirt) was wonderful and very friendly, he drove us safely to every destination, took beatiful pictures, and it was nice knowing them.
