When you travel with us, a local Nusa Penida guide shows you the island he grew up on. Buncis Ketut leads Penida Private Tour, an owner-operated business, together with his team of driver-guides from Nusa Penida. We run private day tours from Bali, and our motto says it simply: “Your Island, Your Pace.”
Who we are
Buncis Ketut owns and runs Penida Private Tour himself. So when you send a message, you deal with the people who actually plan and run your day, not a large call centre. As a result, things stay personal and clear.
Every local Nusa Penida guide on our team comes from the island. They also know the roads, the villages and the coast from daily life. For this reason, they can read the island well: when a viewpoint gets busy, which path needs extra care, and where to stop for a quiet photo.
Why a local Nusa Penida guide makes a difference
Nusa Penida roads are narrow and steep in places, and some viewpoints have tricky paths. A local Nusa Penida guide drives these roads every week, so you can relax and enjoy the views. In addition, your guide acts as your photographer, which means everyone in your group appears in the pictures.
How we run our tours
In general, every day follows the same simple plan. First, we collect you from your hotel in the main Bali areas, or meet you at Sanur Port. Then you take the fast boat, which usually crosses in about 40 minutes. On the island, your private air-conditioned car and driver-guide wait for you.
After that, you visit the spots in your package, with an Indonesian lunch at a local restaurant. You return to Sanur Port around 17:00–18:00. You can compare our West Tour, East Tour, Mix Tour and West + Snorkeling Tour to find your fit.
Our promises to you
We keep a few clear promises on every trip:
- 100% private: only your group in the car, with no strangers and a flexible pace.
- Transparent all-inclusive pricing: the fast boat, car, fuel, entrance tickets, island donation, lunch and guide all sit in one price.
- Free weather reschedule: if rough seas stop the fast boats, we reschedule your date or adjust the itinerary at no extra cost.
- Direct booking: we confirm everything on WhatsApp, with no website prepayment.
We also tell you what is not included, such as tips, drinks and travel insurance. That way, there are no surprises on the day.
Travel tips from your local Nusa Penida guide
Our team also shares what we know in our travel blog. For example, the Nusa Penida travel guide covers the basics before you go. For wider ideas about the country, the official Indonesia travel site is a good start.
