How to Get to Sanctum Dive

Getting to Nusa Penida is easier than ever. Most fast boats leave from Sanur Harbor in Bali and arrive directly at Banjar Nyuh Harbor, just minutes from our dive center.

Bali to Nusa Penida

The fast boat journey from Sanur (Bali) to Banjar Nyuh (Nusa Penida) takes approximately 45 minutes. You can organize this yourself or use a private driver.

Self-Organized (Grab/Gojek)

The most flexible option. Order a Grab or Gojek from your hotel in Bali to Sanur Harbor.

If you are joining our morning dives as a day trip, you need to leave your hotel around 6:00 AM to catch the earliest fast boat at 6:30 AM.

You can purchase boat tickets at the harbor, or book them online in advance.

From Nusa Lembongan

  • Public boats depart daily at 06:00 close to the suspension bridge between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan and run to Toyapakeh or BuyukHarbour in northern Nusa Penida. There are also services from the JungutBatu area of Nusa Lembongan to Nusa Penida. All of these can be a little β€˜worrying’ at times and are often very crowded.

  • Charter boats are available, departing from and arriving at the same area as the public boats. If you are staying on Nusa Lembongan, ask at your hotel. If not, go to the shoreline close to the suspension bridge or to the beach at JungutBatu and ask around amongst the boatmen. Rates certainly vary but expect to pay around Rp 300,000.

Nusa Penida is the largest and most exotic of the three Nusa Islands
