  • Day 1

    Denpasar to North & East Nusa Penida

    Get picked up from your Denpasar hotel at 6:30 AM and head to Sanur Harbor. Take the 30-minute fast ferry to Nusa Penida. The morning crossing is usually calmer before the winds pick up. Visit Goa Giri Putri Temple first, then go to Diamond Beach during mid-morning. This timing gives you great photo opportunities without the intense midday heat. "Our driver Kadek assisted in recommending times to start the day to best avoid larger crowds and take photos with the best position of the sun."

    
  • Day 2

    West Coast Exploration

    Start at 7:30 AM to see Kelingking Beach (T-Rex Beach) before tour buses arrive at 9 AM. The viewing platform fills up quickly. If you want to go down to the beach, be prepared for a steep path that needs good fitness and proper shoes. Next, visit Broken Beach and Angel's Billabong which are within walking distance of each other. End your day at Crystal Bay for snorkeling and sunset. Don't try to drive yourself on the west coast roads. "Some roads are very rough and narrow along cliffsides, so I wouldn't recommend taking your own car or scooter."

    
  • Day 3

    Hidden Gems & Return

    Start early with Peguyangan Waterfall on the cliff edge. This involves many stairs, so consider Manta Bay snorkeling instead if stairs are difficult. Take a refreshing morning swim at Tembeling Waterfall's natural pools before walking to Tembeling Beach. Take the 5 PM ferry back to Bali to avoid rough afternoon waters. "The island is just beginning to develop its tourism, and the support of an expert local driver makes for a smooth, safe and secure trip."

  • Day 1

    Labuan Bajo to Kanawa Island

    Book a morning flight to arrive by 9 AM to get the most out of your first day. Your boat leaves Labuan Bajo harbor around 10 AM and heads to Kanawa Island for snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs. In the afternoon, you'll cruise to Manta Point to snorkel with manta rays. Make sure to wear a rash guard since the sun can be intense. Your day wraps up at Taka Makassar, a beautiful sandbar that's perfect for sunset photos.

    
  • Day 2

    Padar Island and Rinca

    Set your alarm for 4 AM to hike Padar Island. One traveler shared: "The sunrise hike at Padar offers incredible views of three differently colored beaches, though be prepared for crowds of up to 100 people at the viewpoint." The trail can get slippery and steep, so wear shoes with good grip. After Padar, you'll stop at Pink Beach for snorkeling in clear waters. The afternoon takes you to Rinca Island to spot dragons. Many people find Rinca offers more authentic dragon encounters than Komodo Island. Your day ends at Kalong Island watching thousands of flying foxes take to the sky at sunset.

    
  • Day 3

    Kelor Island and Return

    The day starts at Kelor Island for morning photos. A recent visitor noted: "Consider skipping Kelor if time is tight – it's mainly a small hill with souvenir shops." You might want to spend more time snorkeling at Manjarite Island instead, known for its beautiful coral gardens and rich marine life. You'll return to Labuan Bajo by early afternoon, around 2 PM. Plan for an evening flight out to avoid rushing.

  • Day 1

    Bali to Gili Trawangan

    Your hotel pickup in Bali will be between 6-7 AM for transport to Padang Bay port. The fast boat to Gili Trawangan takes about 90 minutes. Sit on the upper deck for better views and less seasickness. If you get motion sick easily take medication 30 minutes before the trip. After settling into your hotel and getting lunch spend the afternoon exploring the car-free island by bike. A recent visitor shared: "The bike ride along the beach gives you a perfect orientation of the island though you'll need to push the bike through some sandy patches."

    
  • Day 2

    Snorkeling Adventure & Island Hopping

    Start with an island-hopping snorkeling trip in the morning. The waters between Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno are perfect for spotting sea turtles especially near the seagrass beds. Visit the underwater sculptures at Gili Meno before noon when the water is clearest. Stop for lunch on Gili Meno's peaceful beaches and take time to walk around this small island. On the boat ride back you'll get beautiful views of Mount Rinjani at sunset. For dinner head to the beachfront restaurants and check out Gili's famous nightlife along the main beach strip.

    
  • Day 3

    Final Morning & Return to Bali

    Get up early for your last morning. The ocean swings make for great photos right after sunrise before the crowds arrive. Take a final swim before 10 AM when the water is calmest. Most hotels have noon checkout followed by the fast boat back to Bali. One visitor noted: "Don't miss taking some final beach snaps on those famous swings but go early to avoid the queues!" If you're flying out of Bali that day book an afternoon flight to allow enough travel time.
