Review Body: We were picked up from our hotel at 6am by Justin who was very friendly and helpful. After a beautiful boat ride to Nusa Penida we met our guide Ran who was excellent, giving us lots of information about the island and each place we stopped at. He answered all our questions and took lots of pictures and videos for us! The seaweed plantation was an awesome and unique experience, being able to get hands on and see how the process was done was great fun. We then went to Atuha and Diamond beach, both are only accessible by a long staircase which was very doable. We went half way down to diamond beach for photos and then took some time to chill at the beautiful and relaxing Atuha beach. Lastly we went to a Temple, we didn’t really know what to expect but it turned out to be a big highlight of our trip. As we went up a few steps and into a small prayer area, we were then brought to a hole in the corner which we crawled through. This brought us to a massive cave filled with incense and lit up by small lights giving the place a very magical feel, it was incredible! We were then dropped off at our booked accommodation where we watched the sunset over the sea perfect end to a great day! Our second day was equally as magical. We requested to visit Kelingking beach in the early morning at 6am, rather than the afternoon, as we hoped it would be less busy. We were right! We practically had the place to ourselves and the morning light was beautiful. The climb down to the beach is pretty treacherous in some areas but totally worth it! After Kelingking beach, we went to Broken beach and Angel Billabong (they’re in the same area) which were very busy at 10:30am. The look out spots were very beautiful and great photo opportunities but expect queues to take your picture. We were also able to see Manta Rays at Broken beach which was very cool. We ended the day with a fabulous snorkel trip. Ran made sure the whole process at the snorkel place was smooth and easy for us after we had changed the time and even stayed while we snorkled to look after our bags, a very kind gesture. The snorkling was fantastic! We saw Manat Rays at Manta Bay which was incredible and loads of exotic fish and coral. An excellent way to end our trip in Nusa Penida. Ran then helped us get to the harbour in order to catch our boat back to Bali so everything was nice and straight forward. Overall, it was a great tour around a beautiful island hosted by a lovely guide, we would highly recommend. Thank you for a great trip!

Review Body: Our two-day tour of Nusa Penida was absolutely m-a-g-i-c-a-l. From cave temples and postcard beaches to snorkelling, every component was incredibly well organised and arranged, and gave us the most authentic experience of Nusa Penida (and one that we definitely could not have achieved on our own!). In all honesty we weren’t sure whether to visit Nusa Penida or not - but wow, we are SO glad that we did, and that we took the time to really experience all of its facets. Some of our most treasured memories will come from Tembeling and seeing Kelingking beach with our own eyes - the island is so untouched compared to Bali, and offers sights we’ve never seen before. Just fabulous. Nyoman is the guide of dreams - ensuring we arrived at sites before the tourist rush and providing great detail and information about locations. We felt incredibly safe in his company, as well as in his car, as he navigated the mountain roads of Nusa. His small thoughtful touches like buying us peanuts to feed local monkeys were really appreciated, as are his camera skills! Thank you for all the amazing photos you took of us, so we can memorialise our trip properly. Justin too was a wonderful host, thank you for being so understanding and catering to our needs, such as my anxiety around fast boats, and for your your recommendations (such as going to Tembeling) that took our experience to the next level. As we mentioned to you, you’ve made friends for life now! And you and/or Nyoman are welcome anytime to stay with us in the UK! Genuinely can’t praise this tour enough!

Review Body: This is a good package to book if you want to see all the major sights in Musa Penida, instead of what the usual day trip. The highlights are Diamond Beach and the additional attraction Temeling Forest and Beach Natural Pools. The latter was recommended by Justin, the owner and contact of Bali Yok, to replace the stop at Teletubbies hill. It is a unique place which the forest behind you, the cliffs to your right, the Ricky beach to the left as you face crashing waves while in the infinity natural pool. Added thrill of an exciting motorbike downhill ride from the car drop-off to the beach. The seaweed farm is also an interesting stop, learning about how seaweed farming works, tying juvenile seaweed to the shallow waters at the beach and trying yummy seaweed crackers. We got the best scheduling of the itinerary for the 2 days due to our driver and guide Nyoman, who changed the sequence of stops so we can avoid the crowds. He was punctual, drive carefully and took good care of us by helping to carry our bags, opening the car door and advising us of how much time we have at each site. Nyoman accompanied us to most sights where he can and took photos and videos like a pro. His performance confirmed Justin’s claim that he is one of Justin’s best. At the end of the second day we ended finishing half an hour early and caught the 4:30pm ferry. Yosi picked us up from Sanur harbour and dropped us off safely after half an hour of pleasant chatting during the ride. Highly recommended to go with Justin’s Bali Yok.

Review Body: No regrets joining this experience! From the start, Justin was approachable and responsive on Whatsapp, always ready to brief us 1-2 days before our tour. A day prior, we were given an option to head to Tembeling Natural Pool (a less touristy spot) which required an exciting bike ride through the forest. We were also informed of snorkeling option for higher chance to see manta ray. — All at an additional but affordable fee. We were glad we went for it! We skipped on the temple visit. Me and my friends all enjoyed the natural pool, there were really less tourists. And we got to see manta ray as promised! A nice touch to the tour was the visit to the local seaweed farm. It was a unique experience and We were even served really tasty seaweed kerupuk which we bought some home:) It was really easy for us with this tour. Early morning pick up from our villa in Ubud, driver dropped us off at the port. And our local guide in Nusa Penida picked us up no hassle! Special shoutout to Encik Nyoman our guide!! He was really helpful, friendly and patient at taking lots of amazing photos for us girls. We told him we wanted a lunch with a nice ocean view for day 2 and we got it!! I would definitely look into booking another island tour with seek sophie in the future.

Review Body: I had an amazing two days in Nusa Penida with Seek Sophie. All the details were arranged perfectly and the itinerary was well thought out for a mix of down time and activity. I unfortunately got injured almost immediately after stepping off the ferry by twisting my ankle (🤦‍♀️) and my guide was very patient and stopped for some medication for me at a local pharmacy. I vowed to now let my bad ankle stop me though and we explored both east and west sides of the island on different days. My favorite was actually the treehouse on the east and although I had to wait a crazy long time for pictures, the results were pretty epic. Diamond Beach was also a standout. Another plus to staying overnight was you get to TRex beach before all the day trippers. It was wonderful! I also enjoyed having a local experience at a seaweed farm although it wasn’t the right time of year to see the farming itself (I visited in early September). I also really appreciated that the guide was a local man who grew up on the island. Plus he was an absolute killer photographer and put up with all my shenanigans as a solo traveler. Overall, the trip was amazing and I would recommend anyone booking with this amazing company!

Review Body: This 2D1N Nusa Penida trip with Seek Sophie was one of the highlights of our Bali trip. Seek Sophie and Justin were very responsible in handling a slight delay during pickup, and we truly appreciated their help in making sure we still got onto the first boat to Nusa Penida. Nyoman was a fantastic guide from the moment we arrived at the harbour. He was kind, patient and thoughtful, giving us good advice on where to spend more time, when to skip certain crowded spots, and how to enjoy the island without feeling rushed. The views across Nusa Penida were honestly breathtaking, especially Tembeling, Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong and all 3 spots for snorkeling. Nyoman drove safely (through Nusa Penida's small roads), shared local stories and culture, took beautiful photos and videos for us, and made the whole experience feel easy, comfortable and special. Truly 5 stars, and even more if possible.

Review Body: We had a great time on Nusa Penida thank to our private tour with Nyoman (our Guide/ driver). He showed us amazing places and took care of all the tickets and stuff. He took also great pictures of us at the spots, we stopped and he also told us a bit more about them. We felt very good treated and save with him and realised how valuable it is to have a local guide, who knows the island, the good sports and also the best time to visit them! The whole organisation, done by Justin, was also amazing and he was on our site for every question we had and even when we wanted to get some tickets for further activities after this trip. We really appreciated it! We're very happy that we choosed this way to explore Nusa Penida and enjoyed a lot! Many thanks for that great experience!

Review Body: We booked the 2 day tour of Nusa Penida - Justin checked in regularly and was helpful in answering all the questions I had for him before our booking. Our guide Nyoman is so friendly, informative, funny - we had lots of questions and wanted to learn some Indonesian language and he had all the answers and was happy to teach us some words. We felt completely comfortable and safe with Justin and Nyoman and we would recommend booking with Seek Sophie for a very reliable, good pace, non crowded, special experience of Nusa Penida. We only wish Justin could have come with us too!! Thank you Justin and Nyoman, for being reliable, our safe, friendly and wonderful host & guide - we had an incredible time!! Mutu suksuma :)

Review Body: Well organized 2 day trip to Nusa Penida. Justin was very good at communicating through what’s app. He kept us informed of the itinerary before we started the tour and any changes during. He made the trip effortless and smooth as we traveled from our hotel to the ferry and arriving on Nusa. Ran was our driver, tour guy and photographer extraordinaire. We saw all of the tourist highlight spots and visited a quiet seaweed farm. Our itinerary was adjusted to accommodate the extra night we spent on Nusa and they allowed for our driver to take us back to Sanur the next day with only a small fee.I would definitely recommend booking with this company. The personalized service from Justin exceeded my expectations.

Review Body: this was the perfect compact nisa penida trip for us. fab communication from start to end. transport to and from port was very straightforward and driver handled boat ticket purchase. on the island, our guide Nyoman could not have been more amazing! he completely got us from the start and customised our tour to suit our preferences (trying to stay away from loads of people and the Insta crowd!!). the result was a beautiful tour of the cave temple, stunning beaches, lovely short walks, seaweed farm and more, then managed our amazing manta sighting/ swimming trip. he was informative and knowledgeable and great company. can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Review Body: What a fantastic time we had over the 2 days in Nusa Penida. Our Nusa Penida local guide Ran was wonderful. He's a pro photographer and videographer, wealth of knowledge, and gave so many extra tips during our trip which we appreciated. We especially loved and appreciated hearing his stories about growing up and living in Nusa Penida, and him showing us his home town was really special. The seaweed tour was a real highlight! Our mainland driver to take us to Sanur was also love and helpful. Communication with these drivers and Justin who runs the company was prompt, efficient and clear. We felt well-cared for and can't fault the experience.

Review Body: Had a very good experience! My girlfriend and me were able to see all the beautiful spots on Nusa Penida, but then in our own pace. We had a lot of time to enjoy the views and making pictures with my camera. Leaving early also gave us the opportunity to visit Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong without the crowds. The local had a lot of knowledge about the places we visited. He also had a very warm and relaxing energy, and was very flexible to our personal schedule. Also the seaweed farm was a very unique experience where we could join in the proces of the seaweed farming, and learned hands-on how the seaweed is grown.

Review Body: It was amazing. The communication with Justin (Bali Yok) was very good and our driver Ran was amazing too. He was born on nusa penida and was happy to share his story's. We had some unusual requests and he was happy to help. Like i really wanted to enjoy true lokal food, so he brought us to a night market where i had the best soto i have ever had. The snorkel experience was amazing too, we saw turtles and thousents of colourfull fish. The seeweed farm and tempelcave where very nice too. Thank you for the great time and maybe see you next time 😃

Review Body: Amazing trip and very well organized. Our guide Nyoman is very knowledgeable and proud of his hometown. The seaweed farm was great. We took up the options of motorcycle to Tembeling beach, as scary as it was, it was worth it! Also upgraded our snorkel tour to Manta Point and another bay (name escapes me) and we saw Mantas within minutes. Was rough swell that day so recommend travel sickness tablets if you think you may need them. And it is very busy with other boats so be prepared. The coastline and beaches were stunning!

Review Body: Bali Yok were very helpful and great with communications via WhatsApp. So pleased with Nyoman, our driver & guide on Nusa Pendina. Local & full of knowledge. He made us feel that all our questions were valuable. Extremely patient & obliging to any requests. When a lunch choice wasn’t quite agreeable he found us a perfectly suitable alternative. Never intrusive, beautifully polite. Not fluent in English (& we speak no Indonesian) but no problem with communication. We were sad to say goodbye!

Review Body: We had a great time on this tour! The host was well organized, and even helped one of us join a day late because of sickness. We saw many of the top attractions in Nusa Penida, and also had a few unique experiences like the seaweed farm. Our highlight was snorkeling with a manta and visiting the beaches early in the morning before the crowds. Our driver was so kind and helpful and always answered our questions and accommodated where we wanted to go!

Review Body: Two days in Nusa Penida is the way to go! It gave us the ability to see some of the more popular places with less people around. Seeing Klinking Beach with out the crowds is way better. But my favourite was seeing the sea weed farm and getting to understand how the locals live. And to top it off Justin is a super guide that makes you feel like you are chilling with a local friend. Highly recommend!

Itinerary Day 1

Itinerary Summary: Fast boat to Nusa Penida, Goa Giri Putri Temple, seaweed farm, Diamond/Atuh Beaches, Teletubbies Hill.

Itinerary Description: Arrive in Nusa Penida via Fast Boat: You will start out your trip with a pick-up from your hotel in Bali, followed by a fast boat ride to Nusa Penida early in the morning (the first one departs between 7-8 am, depending on day and availability). Goa Giri Putri Temple: Your first stop will be the Goa Giri Putri temple. This place is sacred for the Balinese, with many coming from the main island to take part in purification. Ask your guide about the Buddhist temple at the end! Please note that, according to Balinese Hindu custom, women who are menstruating are not permitted to enter the temple. If this applies to you, this stop will be skipped. Semaya Village Seaweed Farm: Next you will head to Semaya Village where most of the locals are seaweed farmers. You can even get down and give the farmer a hand helping to tie up the seaweed seedlings to a rope so that they don't float away! After, you will be invited into the home of the farmer to learn a bit more about how they use seaweed in their cooking. Dimond and Atuh Beaches: Finally you will get to enjoy some of the epic views that Nusa Penida is known for by heading to Diamond and Atuh Beaches, which are side by side. The diamond beach gets its name from the diamond-shaped rock cliffs which jut out of the beautiful blue waters. If you have the time, you can climb the many stairs all the way down to the beach to enjoy the water up close. Teletubbies Hill: If you still have time, you will head to Teletubbies Hill, to check out the round grass-covered mounds which are reminiscent of the hills in the children's TV show with the same name. The hills can be bright green or a light brown - depending on the season! Head to your accommodation

Itinerary Day 2

Itinerary Summary: Nusa Penida: T-Rex, Broken Beach, Angel Billabong, snorkeling at Manta Bay, Crystal Bay.

Itinerary Description: You will be picked up from your hotel at 7 am and your driver will take you around to the Island's hot spots and avoid the crowds. Kelingking (T-Rex) - this is an iconic view of a limestone rock formation which looks like the head of a T-rex dinosaur. In addition to this curiously shaped island, you will also get a birds eye view of a beautiful strip of beach being washed by gorgeous blue green waters. To get to the actual beach requires climbing down a very long set of stairs, which can take 20-30 minutes one way depending on your fitness level. You should seek advice from your guide on whether you are able to get to the beach and back in time to make it to the other locations. Broken Beach - this epic rock encircled cove with an archway, opening up to the sea is more than it's pretty looks. When you've had enough photos of the blue waters trickling in through the archway, head to the other side. As you stand at the cliff's edge looking over the deep blue waters, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the peacefully beautiful manta rays dancing in the current. A surreal image! Angel Billabong - is a gorgeous rock pool, which gets replenished with the waters from the surrounding sea. This is a rather tempting place to take a dip and get your Insta fix, but we highly recommend not getting in the water as the tide and waves can move very quickly and unexpectedly. Enjoy the view from the top! Nusa Penida Snorkelling: Once you finished with the overland trip and lunch, you will head to the port and board the boat. Before you board the boat you will be provided with snorkeling equipment. Please note that during this portion of your trip, you will be joining other participants. Crystal Bay - the water here is super clear and fairly shallow making it a great spot for beginners. Here you will have a good chance to spot turtles and even an occasional Mola Mola a.k.a. Sun Fish. Wall Beach - here you will see expansive coral reefs and schools of fish that abound here. Perhaps most impressive is the gorgeous blood-red finger corals, which thrive at Wall Beach. Snorkelers may even glimpse giant Moray eels, octopi, sweet-lip emperor fish, the red-toothed triggerfish, batfish, and more. The current is a bit strong, but you will see more fish here. Manta Bay - true to its name, this is the best place to spot Manta Rays. These large majestic creatures love to dance in the current. It's a truly epic sight if you get to see even one! Best season to see Mantas in this region is August - October, but it's possible outside of it as well. Because Mantas love current, the water speed here is quite rapid. If you are not a very confident swimmer you may want to wear a life jacket. Gamat Beach - this clear water spot is known for vibrant coral reefs and colourful schools of fish. Turtles are also known to hang out here. Because it's difficult to reach this spot by land, the ocean life here is quite well preserved. Return to Bali Once you've finished up with all the spots, you will head back to the harbor in Nusa Penida to make the last fast boat back to Bali. The last boat leaves around 4.30pm, so you will need to be there about 30 minutes before. You should be back to the Sanur Port by 5.30pm. **Please note the above itinerary may need to be adjusted in terms of order and number of locations based on time and tides (the seaweed farm is best visited during low tide).
