In Nusa Penida, you may find a hiding wobbegong shark. It's a pretty rare find compared to other parts of Indonesia but on certain dive sites if you look carefully you may find a hiding Wobbegong, one of the strangest looking of all sharks! When diving Nusa Penida, you may spot a reef shark.
A laid-back nurse shark swam by in Nusa Penida (Manta Point) while everybody was looking to see mantas. Nurse sharks can be found on shallow coral reefs, they feed on smaller fish for example stingray, lucky for the nurse shark there are a lot of blue spotted stingrays in Manta Point!
From Bali, you can take a fast boat or ferry to Nusa Penida. Once you arrive on the island, you can hire a scooter or car to explore its scenic landscapes. Banah Cliff Viewpoint is situated on the southwestern coast of Nusa Penida, near the village of Karang Dawa. The journey from Toya Pakeh (the main port) takes about 45 minutes by scooter.
There are two ways to get in the water to Manta Point, joining a snorkel trip or scuba dive. A snorkel trip to Manta Point costs around 130k IDR. We were able to find a package that included Manta Point, Crystal Bay, and the underwater Buddha Statues for 150k. Scuba diving in Nusa Penida is another option.
Due to other confirmed sightings of Thresher Sharks, we can say: The Thresher Sharks have arrived!! Usually, they stay here until the end of October so we hope to find them occasionally again during the next weeks.
