An incredible scenic wonder, the Peguyangan Waterfall & Natural Pool is the perfect destination for those looking for nature-inspired tours in Nusa Penida.

While you must bear in mind that reaching Peguyangan Waterfall involves an intensive hike, the effort is definitely worth it to witness this breathtaking landmark!

The Journey to Peguyangan Waterfall

The trek down to the temple and waterfall takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your fitness level. Be prepared for an adrenaline rush, as this hike is not for the faint-hearted! After climbing over 700 steps on a steep stairway, you will reach the bottom of the cliff, where you’ll be rewarded with spectacular sights:

• The (small) Peguyangan Waterfall
• The sacred Peguyangan Temple
• A stunning natural infinity pool overlooking the ocean, perfect for a refreshing dip

How to Get There

The easiest way to reach Peguyangan Waterfall in Nusa Penida is by scooter. However, this trip is only recommended for experienced scooter drivers, as the roads in Nusa Penida can be challenging to navigate. The site is approximately a 45-60 minute drive from Toya Pakeh Harbour, where boats from Bali arrive. Peguyangan is also located near Manta Point, and accessing it requires driving on a narrow path from the main road.

The most comfortable and stress-free way to visit is by hiring a private driver or booking a guided tour that covers the island’s highlights.

Best Time to Visit

As the hike is quite demanding, it’s best to start early in the morning to avoid the intense afternoon heat. Additionally, for safety reasons, ensure you complete the hike before nightfall.

Tips for Visiting Peguyangan Waterfall

• Footwear: Avoid wearing flip-flops; opt for sturdy shoes suitable for hiking.
• Entrance Fees: There are no official entry fees, but a parking fee of 5,000 IDR and a sarong rental fee of 10,000 IDR are required, as the waterfall is within a sacred temple site.
• Visiting Hours: There are no official opening hours, but it is strongly advised to visit during daylight and well before sunset. The hike is difficult, and attempting it in the dark can be extremely dangerous.
