·        Manta Point

Manta Point is located in a small bay enclosed by an island. It's a favored spot for manta rays to clean themselves, with manta rays ranging from 3 to 5 meters in size found in this area. The cleaning station can be found on a 10-meter diameter, 7-meter high rock, where many fish await the arrival of these ocean giants. The cleaning station is situated on the west side of the bay. When there are many divers, it's advisable not to get too close to the cleaning station. You can also observe these giant creatures from the bay side.

·        Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay Nusa Penida is a beach with a coastline length of about 200 meters and a width of up to 15 meters. This beach is located on the southeast side of Bali Island, separated by the Badung Strait. Crystal Bay Nusa Penida itself boasts a wealth of natural beauty, making it renowned as one of the beautiful beaches in Bali. Although named Crystal Bay Nusa Penida, this beach is more commonly known or referred to as Pantai Penida. "Crystal Bay" is essentially a popular name given by foreign tourists. Crystal Bay Nusa Penida is easily accessible. You can use a scooter from Toyapakeh Harbor with a new road to reach your destination. Crystal Bay is particularly famous for its dominant scuba diving and snorkeling activities, thus ranking among the top 5 must-see places on Nusa Penida Island.

·        Gamat Bay

Gamat Bay is one of the tourist spots in Nusa Penida, but it's not as easily accessible as Crystal Bay. By land, you can reach the peak of the hill overlooking the beach. Then, descend along a fairly straightforward path. Gamat Bay is also much more secluded, meaning you may not see anyone else down there except for snorkeling or diving boats in the morning. Gamat Bay is also one of the most beautiful scuba diving spots in Nusa Penida. The bay features a plateau at about 8 meters deep, teeming with colorful fish and coral. Turtles are also frequently spotted. Therefore, it's a great place for diving when conditions are favorable, especially when there's no current during high tide. At the exit of the bay, there's an underwater cliff that drops to a sandy plain at 40 meters deep. This is where I once saw 14 Mola Mola in one day! However, you don't need to dive that deep to experience the beauty of Gamat Bay. You might also encounter bamboo sharks and marble rays.

·        Wall Point

Wall Point Nusa Penida is one of the snorkeling spots on Nusa Penida that offers truly stunning marine views. Many tourists from both domestic and international locations seek it out to indulge in their snorkeling hobby. Its crystal-clear and pristine waters make it a joy to explore. Make Wall Point one of the destinations in your affordable Nusa Penida tour package, and you will have a memorable vacation. Visiting Nusa Penida will always leave you amazed, not only by its terrestrial beauty but also by the underwater beauty it holds. Its authenticity is well preserved. The Wall Point area is similar to Gamat Bay, another diving site in Nusa Penida. Both offer nearly the same pleasant scenery. However, there's a difference Wall Point has calm currents, making it perfect for beginner snorkelers or those with less experience. Therefore, you don't need to be an expert to witness its underwater beauty.
