Nusa Penida, Indonesia
Nusa Penida blew our socks off.
The island is located just 30 minutes south of Bali by boat, but you don’t have to venture far into this mystical land to realise that Nusa Penida is a world apart from its lively big sister.
Tourists have started coming here now, but you can still get many of the epic views all to yourself if you visit in the early morning or evening.
And the views truly are stunning.
Driving around Nusa Penida on a scooter is a huge adventure, and getting off the bike and exploring on foot makes for authentic interactions with the curious locals as well as experiencing unique landscapes.
We hope the following 57 pictures can inspire your travels to Nusa Penida.
