• Start: 06:15-07:15 pickup or Sanur port meeting — If you add the Bali transfer service, pickup usually begins around 06:15-06:30 depending on your hotel area. Direct-meeting guests check in at Sanur Port around 07:00-07:15.
• Then: 07:30 fast boat to Banjar Nyuh — Board the public fast boat from Sanur and arrive around 08:30 at Banjar Nyuh Port in Nusa Penida, where the local driver meets you with your booking name.
• Next: 09:30-11:30 Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach — Spend the late morning at the island's best-known east-coast beach and cliff stops with time for photos, short walks, and beach access if your pace and conditions allow.
• Later: 12:00 lunch, 12:30-14:30 Tree House and Thousand Islands — Break for lunch, then continue to Molenteng Tree House and the famous Raja Lima or Thousand Islands viewpoint area for the classic east Penida panorama.
• Finish: 14:30 Teletubbies Hill and 16:30-17:30 return to Bali — Close the route with the green hill landscape before driving back to Banjar Nyuh for the return boat to Sanur and onward hotel transfer if arranged.

💡 What to expect at each stop — tips from travelers

The numbers and details below help you plan around the real experience, not the brochure version.

• Diamond Beach stairs are steep and carved from stone — manageable for most fit adults but challenging for those with mobility issues.
• Atuh Beach offers a secluded cove with a dramatic rock arch in the water. The descent is moderate.
• Thousand Islands Viewpoint (Pulau Seribu) offers panoramic views of limestone islets scattered across turquoise water — no hiking required.
• Tree House is a popular photo stop with a wooden platform built into a tree overlooking the cliff edge.
• East coast roads are some of the roughest on Nusa Penida — expect 30–45 minutes of bumpy driving between main stops.

🎒 What to bring and how to prepare

Sturdy shoes for the Diamond Beach staircase, water, sunscreen, a hat, and a waterproof phone case for beach photos.

• Bali hotel pickup and drop-off can be arranged as an extra service, with common covered areas including Sanur, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Jimbaran, Canggu, Nusa Dua, Ubud, Uluwatu, and Tegalalang.
• Diamond Beach has steep stairs, so comfortable shoes and a moderate level of mobility are recommended.
• Tree House photo fees, Diamond Beach swing fees, breakfast, and personal expenses are usually not included.
• Bring sunblock, a hat, a towel, a change of clothes, extra money, and motion sickness medicine if you need it for boat crossings.
• Sea conditions, harbor queues, and peak-season traffic can slightly change the exact timing of the day, so the published schedule is always an estimate.
• If you already have a private driver or taxi in Bali, meeting at Sanur Port is usually the simplest option.

📅 Best time of year for this tour

April–October; east coast cliffs are most photogenic in morning light.

Bali has two main seasons: dry season (April–October) with less rain and cooler mornings, and wet season (November–March) with afternoon showers and higher humidity. Both seasons are warm — daytime temperatures average 27–30 °C (80–86 °F) at sea level.

⚖️ How this fits with other Bali experiences

The East Tour focuses on beaches and dramatic coastline, while the West Tour covers the most famous viewpoints (Kelingking, Broken Beach). The East is generally less crowded and more beach-focused.
