What an amazing trip! The scenery is so beautiful; you'll regret missing it. Our tour guide, Eddy, was super enthusiastic and took photos for me everywhere we went. The travel can be a little tiring, but it's definitely worth the experience.

I went on a Nusa Penida tour with my family 😊 We went snorkeling at 3 spots and were lucky enough to see a turtle! It was hard to sightsee because of the rain, but our guide Oka took great care of us and took us to a beach club with a great atmosphere. I'm grateful because he's good at Korean and knows how to create a fun vibe. I would definitely like to tour with him again next time! hahaha
