Nusa Dua is a peninsula on the eastern side of Bali, well known as an enclave of expensive hotels.

[edit] Understand

The term "Nusa Dua" can be used in two ways: either it can refer to the entire peninsula at the southern tip of Bali, or it can refer to the purpose-built, safe and sterile tourist enclave (Kawasan Pariwisata, quite literally "Tourism District") at the southeast side of this peninsula. For this article, Nusa Dua covers everything to the east of Uluwatu and south of Benoa.

Nusa Dua is located 40km from Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali and where the closest airport it located.

• Dreamland. A beautiful beach with excellent surfing conditions, especially for intermediate surfers & on big days when other breaks are too big to surf. Right & left reef break, not too shallow and with decent shape.
• Pulau Penyu (English=Turtle Island). Boats from Nusa Dua are available, the price is Rp. 100,000 per person. The boats are usually glass boats which you can see the under water view from the boat. Like its name suggests, Pulau Penyu (Turtle Island) is a turtle conservation area. The local people keep the turtle eggs in each traditional conservation houses that are individually owned until the baby turtles are born, and then released when they are grown. Besides turtles, they also have komodos, birds, snakes, bats, etc. To enter each conservation is free, but they will ask you to give some money for animal feeding, which is usually around Rp. 20,000. Once you arrive at the island, one or two guides will welcome you. Make sure to give them tips (Rp. 10,000 or Rp. 20,000), even though they probably won't ask for it. Not giving any tips will be OK, since they also earn money from the drinking shops near the houses.
• The boat owners also provide services for snorkeling, parasailing and jetskiing. Prices are around Rp. 100,000 per person.
• Many companies offer water sports activities (Banana boat, parasailing, jetskiing, diving, flying fish, etc) but always remember to bargain at least 50% because some companies are overcharging the international tourist.
