Bali 2 Days Package Nusa Penida and Ubud Tour with All Inclusive

Kelingking Beach and Ubud’s temples make this $139 two-day Bali tour a fast, photo-filled introduction to the island. I like the simple all-in-one setup: your hotel pickup, meals, entrance fees, water, private cars, and fast-boat tickets are covered. I also like the mix of scenery and culture, from Tegenungan Waterfall to Tirta Empul and the macaques of Ubud’s Monkey Forest.

The tradeoff is pace. Day 1 has six stops, and Day 2 includes a boat crossing plus several long drives on Nusa Penida’s rough roads. This is a good choice if you want to see a lot in little time, but not if you prefer lazy mornings or long visits at each site.

Key points at a glance

• Six Ubud stops in one day: Waterfalls, rice terraces, a spring temple, a monkey forest, wood carving, and a traditional temple all make the schedule.
• Kelingking Beach is the visual highlight: You get the famous cliff view without needing to hike to the sand.
• Fast boat transport is included: The crossing from Sanur to Nusa Penida takes about 40 to 45 minutes each way.
• Private travel keeps the group together: Only your party joins the activity, with an English-speaking driver and private Nusa Penida car.
• The price covers the costly basics: Entrance fees, Indonesian lunch, parking, bottled water, transfers, and boat tickets are included.
• Expect a long second day: Nusa Penida’s roads can be rough, and the schedule runs until roughly 3 or 4 pm before the return boat.

Why this two-day Bali plan works

This package puts two very different sides of Bali together. Ubud gives you temples, art, rice terraces, and forest. Nusa Penida brings dramatic coastal cliffs, white sand, and sea views. If you have only a short stay, that contrast gives you a useful first look at the island.

I especially like that the tour does not stop at the most obvious Ubud photo points. You visit Tirta Empul, where the spring-fed temple has a strong religious role, and Mas village, known for traditional wood carving. Those stops give the day more substance than a simple waterfall-and-rice-field circuit.

At the same time, you should know what kind of trip this is. It is not a slow cultural tour. With roughly an hour planned at each Ubud stop, you will see the main areas, take photos, and receive an introduction, but you will not have hours to wander. Day 2 is even more focused on viewpoints and coastal sights.

The private format helps. Your group does not share the activity with other parties, and an English-speaking driver handles the road transport. Past customers particularly valued punctual hotel pickup and drop-off, polite service, and clear communication between the guides and the group. No individual guide name is provided, so you should not book expecting a named specialist.

Day 1: Waterfalls, rice terraces, and Ubud temples

The first day begins with hotel pickup and a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The schedule lists six stops, each with about an hour, so you should be ready for an early and active day even though a precise pickup time is not provided.

Tegenungan Waterfall

Tegenungan is a strong opening stop because it gives you Bali scenery right away. The waterfall has a clean, cool-water setting, and stairs lead down from the upper area toward the falls.

That stair access matters. You can view the waterfall from above, then walk lower for a closer look, but the climb back up takes effort. An hour is enough to see the main viewpoints and take photographs. It is less time than you might want if you plan to linger by the water.

The entrance fee is included, so you do not need to handle that separately. Wear shoes that can manage steps and damp surfaces, since the route down to the lower area is not a flat promenade.

Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Tegallalang offers the classic Ubud view: layered rice fields cut into the hillsides, with paths and viewpoints around the terraces. The stop is free according to the tour details, though personal purchases or optional activities are not included.

This is a scenic stop rather than a formal guided visit. You will likely spend your hour walking short paths, looking over the terraces, and taking pictures. The main drawback is that the schedule does not leave much room for a long walk through the fields.

I like having this stop after the waterfall. The two places feel different, and Tegallalang gives you a better sense of the farming country around Ubud rather than only its temples and shops.

Tirta Empul Temple

Tirta Empul is one of the most meaningful stops on the first day. It is a Hindu temple built around a mountain spring, and the site is connected with a traditional story about good and evil.

The spring and temple setting make this more than a quick viewpoint. You can see the religious structures, learn about the site’s spiritual role, and observe the bathing pools. If you are interested in Bali’s Hindu traditions, this may be the cultural high point of the Ubud day.

Plan to behave respectfully in temple areas. The tour includes the entrance fee, and the listed stop lasts about an hour. That is enough for an introduction, though not for a slow, detailed study of every shrine.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

At Ubud’s Monkey Forest, gray macaques move through a wooded area that also contains Hindu temples. The combination makes the visit memorable: you are not simply looking at animals, and you are not simply touring another temple complex.

The forest gives you a change of pace after the open rice terraces and formal temple grounds. You will have about an hour to walk through the sanctuary and see the monkeys among the trees and temple buildings.

Keep your attention on your belongings and follow local instructions around the macaques. The tour includes entry, but it does not promise a private wildlife guide or a long animal-focused visit. Think of this as a short forest-and-temple stop.

Mas Carving Center

Mas village is associated with Balinese wood art and traditional carving. This stop adds a useful look at local craft to a day otherwise centered on natural scenery and religious sites.

You may see skilled artisans and carved wooden works, but the supplied details do not promise a demonstration, workshop, or purchase allowance. Any personal spending is your responsibility. If you enjoy decorative arts, this is a worthwhile stop. If you prefer outdoor scenery, it may feel less essential than the waterfall or rice terraces.

The one-hour schedule keeps the visit moving. It also means you can see the village without giving up one of the major Ubud sights.

Batuan Temple

Batuan Temple finishes the Ubud circuit with traditional Balinese architecture. Look for the ornate Hindu design and the distinctive black palm roofs, which give the temple a different visual character from the forest setting at Monkey Forest.

This stop is also useful for understanding how temples fit into everyday Balinese culture. You are not only collecting photographs. You are seeing a functioning religious space and learning why its architecture matters.

The first day covers a lot of ground, and Batuan is another one-hour visit. By this point, you may feel the schedule. That is the central weakness of the Ubud portion: every stop is appealing, but none receives much extra time.

Day 2: Sanur to Nusa Penida by fast boat

The second day starts at Sanur Beach, where you board a fast boat to Nusa Penida. The crossing takes about 40 to 45 minutes, and the return ticket is included.

Sanur is the practical gateway here rather than the main attraction. Allow time for the harbor process and boat boarding, though the tour information does not provide an exact departure time. Your driver helps coordinate the land transport, and your boat ticket is part of the package.

Once on Nusa Penida, a private air-conditioned car takes your group between the western island sights. This is a valuable part of the price because the island’s roads can be rough and the distances between viewpoints are not short. One customer specifically noted the long day and rough roads, so bring patience along with your camera.

Pasih Uug, or Broken Beach

Pasih Uug is a cliff formation with a large opening carved through the rock. From the viewpoint, you look down into the circular coastal space and out toward the sea.

The stop is mainly about the view. You are not visiting a conventional sandy beach for a long swim. The one-hour visit gives you time to walk to the viewpoint, take photographs, and see the unusual rock formation.

This is one of the places where comfortable shoes help. The tour details do not specify the exact walking surface, so you should not assume every viewpoint is perfectly smooth or level.

Angel’s Billabong

Angel’s Billabong is a natural pool set beside cliff arches. The water can look clear enough to reveal the bottom, and swimming is mentioned as an option for people who can swim.

Treat this as a scenic stop first and a swimming stop second. Conditions at a coastal pool can affect what is sensible on the day, and the tour does not promise that swimming will always be available. You will have about an hour, which leaves time for photographs and a look at the rock formations even if you stay out of the water.

The nearby coastline gives the stop a strong visual connection with Broken Beach. Together, the two sites show off Nusa Penida’s unusual cliff formations without requiring a separate boat excursion.

Kelingking Beach

Kelingking is the star of the second day. From the purpose-built viewing platform, you see the famous cliff shape and the sweeping coast below. Bamboo fencing borders the viewpoint, but the area can still feel crowded.

You do not need to make the difficult descent to enjoy the stop. The view from above is the reason most people come, and the one-hour schedule is realistic for the platform and nearby viewpoints.

If you decide to walk toward the sand, take the warning seriously. The descent is challenging, and the supplied information advises attempting it only at low tide. This tour does not provide enough time for a relaxed beach hike, so most people will be better served by enjoying the view from above.

Kelingking is also where the tour’s fast pace may frustrate you. It is easy to wish for more time, especially if the viewpoint is crowded. Still, the included private car means you do not have to work out your own transport between this remote sight and the rest of the island.

Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay brings a softer finish to the Nusa Penida route. The white sand and sheltered-looking coastal setting make it the natural place for swimming and snorkeling.

The tour allows about an hour here. You should note that snorkeling equipment is not listed among the included services, so do not assume gear is supplied. Personal and optional expenses are not covered.

This stop gives you a chance to slow down after the cliffs and road travel, though the overall day remains tightly timed. You will need to leave for the harbor in the afternoon, with drop-back to the port planned around 3 or 4 pm.

Returning through Nusa Penida harbor

At the end of the island visit, you return to Nusa Penida harbor and take the fast boat back to Bali. The return boat ticket is included, as are the road transfers connected with the tour.

The schedule makes this a full day, not a casual island outing. Boat time, harbor time, rough roads, and four major coastal stops add up. If you want to see Nusa Penida’s western highlights without arranging several separate bookings, the tradeoff is worthwhile. If you want a quiet beach day, choose something slower.

What the $139 price really covers

At $139 per person, the value depends on how much you would otherwise pay for transport and entry fees. This is not just a driver and a list of suggested stops. The package includes hotel pickup and return, air-conditioned transport, parking, mineral water, all listed entrance fees, Indonesian lunch, an English-speaking driver, a private Nusa Penida car, and fast-boat tickets in both directions.

That bundle removes several costs that can add up quickly. You do not have to arrange the Sanur to Nusa Penida crossing, find a car on the island, or pay separately at each listed attraction.

The price does not cover personal purchases or optional expenses. It also does not identify what food is served beyond Indonesian lunch, and it does not list snorkeling equipment. Group discounts are offered, though the exact savings are not stated.

I see this as good value for a short first visit, especially if you are traveling with others and want one private booking to handle the main logistics. The value is weaker if you plan to skip several stops or prefer independent exploration.

Who should book this Bali tour?

I would choose this tour if you have only two days for sightseeing and want both Ubud and Nusa Penida. It suits first-time visitors who want a clear route, included transport, and help with the boat crossing.

It also works well for people who prefer private travel. Only your group participates, and the private car on Nusa Penida keeps the schedule under one driver rather than sending you between unrelated groups.

I would hesitate if you dislike early starts, rough roads, stairs, crowded viewpoints, or tightly timed visits. The tour is physically active in small ways, even though it is mostly vehicle-based. The Kelingking descent is not required, but Tegenungan has steps, temples involve walking, and the island road day can be tiring.

At present, the activity has a five-star rating from 13 ratings, with all listed recommendations positive. The most praised features are punctual hotel transfers, polite and attentive service, smooth communication, and the number of highlights packed into two days. Those strengths matter here because transport coordination is the hardest part of combining Ubud and Nusa Penida.

Booking confirmation is provided at the time of booking. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Poor weather or failure to meet the minimum number of participants can lead to a different date, another experience, or a full refund.

My verdict: book it for coverage, not downtime

Book this two-day package if your goal is to collect Bali’s major first-visit sights with as little planning work as possible. You get Ubud’s temples, rice terraces, waterfall, forest, and crafts, followed by Nusa Penida’s famous western coast, all with meals, tickets, boats, drivers, and hotel transfers included.

Do not book it expecting a slow retreat. The tour’s best quality is its coverage, and its main weakness is the same thing. You will see a great deal in two days, but you will often be watching the clock. For a short Bali stay, I think that is a fair trade, especially at $139, as long as you are ready for long days and rough island roads.
