Nusa Penida Day Trip from Kura Kura Marina
Nusa Penida from Kura Kura Marina Bali
Depart from Kura Kura Marina on a private yacht to Nusa Penida — home to Kelingking Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Crystal Bay, and Manta Point. Day trips and overnight charters available.
A full-day Nusa Penida trip from Kura Kura Marina in Serangan typically runs from about 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with the crossing taking roughly 45 minutes by speedboat or 60–90 minutes by private motor yacht. Most charters pair a morning swim at Manta Point with snorkeling and lunch at anchor in Crystal Bay, then return across the Badung Strait before the afternoon wind picks up. Here is a practical hour-by-hour plan, a vessel comparison with indicative rates, and the booking path.
What Does a Full-Day Itinerary from Serangan Look Like?
A Nusa Penida day trip from Serangan skips the beach-launch shuffle of Sanur — you board directly from a protected dock, and the crossing is around 20 kilometres of open water. A typical private-charter schedule as of 2026:
| Time | Stop | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| 07:30 | Kura Kura Marina, Serangan | Boarding, safety briefing, coffee on deck |
| 08:00 | Cast off | Crossing the Badung Strait while seas are calmest |
| 08:45–10:30 | Manta Point | Swim or snorkel with reef manta rays; mornings usually bring better visibility and fewer boats |
| 10:45 | West-coast cruise | View Kelingking cliff and Broken Beach from the water |
| 12:00–14:00 | Crystal Bay | Snorkeling over the reef, lunch at anchor, swim time |
| 14:15 | Gamat Bay (optional) | Short drift snorkel if conditions allow |
| 15:00 | Depart Nusa Penida | Return crossing scheduled ahead of afternoon chop |
| 16:00–16:30 | Kura Kura Marina | Dock, disembark, onward transfer |
The best departure window is 07:00–09:00, when the strait is usually at its calmest and Manta Point is least crowded. Manta rays are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed, though the site is active year-round. Certified divers can convert the Manta Point and Crystal Bay stops into guided dives — see our diving and snorkeling services for equipment and divemaster arrangements.
Private Yacht or Speedboat — Which Should You Charter?
Both options run the same route; the difference is pace, space, and comfort on the water.
| Private Speedboat | Private Motor Yacht | |
|---|---|---|
| Crossing time | 40–50 minutes | 60–90 minutes |
| Best for | Small groups maximising time at the stops | Families, celebrations, guests who want lunch, shade, and cabins on board |
| Comfort | Faster but firmer ride in swell | Stable ride, proper deck space, toilet and galley |
| Indicative full-day rate | From around USD 500–900 | From around USD 1,800–6,000+ depending on vessel |
Rates are indicative as of 2026 and vary with vessel size, group numbers, fuel costs, and season — final pricing is confirmed in your written quote. Browse available vessels on our luxury yacht charter page, and see the charter dock for departure logistics at the marina.
