West of Nusa Penida Day Tour Stop 4
📍 Crystal Bay
📸 06 Nov, 2023
The last stop was Crystal Bay, which was an easy place to reach, at least you didn’t have to climb stairs or go down the cliff. I guess every tour group will come here as their last stop, probably because most Western tourists also like to go to the beach.
The sand and water in Crystal Bay are also very beautiful, and you can see many small fish if you dive into the water in a not-too-deep place. But probably because of the impact of the previous few stops, and because everyone’s last stop was here, there were a lot of people and it was a bit crowded. To be honest, there was a sense of disappointment.
If your tour itinerary includes a visit here and you want to have some fun, remember to bring your swimsuit and towel before you leave. In addition, as mentioned before, all facilities on the island are charged, including the changing rooms and toilets, so bring some small change with you.
If you don’t feel the urge to go to Crystal Bay after seeing this, you may want to ask the driver to change the order of the attractions (of course, this may be more difficult if you are joining a group tour). Then you will have more time to try to walk down to Elf Beach. Although we didn't go down, from what others have shared it seems that there is a section where you have to climb down by rope. Before deciding whether to go down, weigh the risks yourself and do what you can.

It is recommended to join a tour group when visiting this island:
☀️ Unless you are an off-road expert, self-driving is not recommended. The width of the road is just enough for a 7-seater car. There are many bends and ups and downs along the way. The road is bumpy. I really admire the drivers who drive there.
☀️ All attractions and facilities on the island are charged. The cost of attractions is usually included in the tour. It is good to have local people to help or remind you of precautions when entering the attractions.
☀️ There are not many trees on the island, and the roads are exposed to direct sunlight, so it is not recommended to take a motorcycle UBER after arriving on the island. Small group tours can be accommodated in air-conditioned and covered vehicles.
☀️ The driver will usually help you take photos and videos, so you don’t have to worry about no one to help take photos or not being able to take a good photo.
☀️ The boat runs very slowly, and it is reassuring to have a professional driver to help you plan your trip without worrying about missing the boat.
Finally, I highly recommend everyone to visit this island. Even if you are standing there and looking at each attraction, it seems unreal. The photos taken on the island account for more than half of the photos taken during the entire trip.
