Short answer
Foreign visitors pay IDR 25,000 (about AUD 2) an adult (children IDR 15,000) for Nusa Penida, and should expect the same again at each beach or viewpoint that charges a fee. A family of four visiting three sites should budget about IDR 320,000, our estimate, and buy site tickets ahead.

In detail
How much is the Nusa Penida entrance fee?
A foreign adult pays IDR 25,000 to enter Nusa Penida, once, on arrival, and a child IDR 15,000. Expect the same amounts again at each beach or viewpoint in the site scheme. Payment is cashless. Sources differ on whether the site fee comes on top; plan for both, and see Conflicts.[1, 4, 5]
| Fee | When you pay | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
| Island fee | On arrival, not at each site | IDR 25,000 | IDR 15,000 (aged 4 to 13) |
| Site fee | At each charging site | IDR 25,000 | IDR 15,000 |
Boat tickets are extra, and the fast boats guide has the fares.
Which sites charge a fee, and what does Kelingking cost?
The site fee applies at the main beaches and viewpoints so far: Kelingking Beach, Angel's Billabong, Broken Beach, Crystal Bay, Bukit Teletubbies, the Molenteng viewpoint and Devil's Tear on Nusa Lembongan.[4, 5]
Kelingking charges the standard site fee: IDR 25,000 an adult and IDR 15,000 a child.[4]
Where and how do you pay?
You pay the island fee when you land and each site fee at the site, cashless in both places. In 2025 the counters took debit and credit cards, so carry a card; cash covers only the charges outside the scheme.[1, 6]
Two charges sit outside the island and site fees. Diamond Beach's landowner charges a small cash entrance fee, and Goa Giri Putri, a cave temple on the east coast, asks a donation of about IDR 50,000 (about AUD 4), paid on site and not in the tour price.[7, 8]
Pay the island fee when you land
Staff collect the island fee at the main arrival points, so look for the desk by the jetty. If your boat lands at a private jetty there may be no collection post, so ask your operator where to pay.[4]
Keep the QR code
The check at each site entrance is a QR code, and with one ready it takes seconds. Screenshot it, since mobile data can be weak.[5]
What does a family day trip cost in fees?
A family of two adults and two children, visiting three sites in a day, should budget IDR 320,000 (about AUD 26) in fees, with the boat extra. Each extra site adds IDR 80,000 for that family.[1, 4]
| Item | 2 adults | 2 children | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Island fee | IDR 50,000 | IDR 30,000 | IDR 80,000 |
| Kelingking Beach | IDR 50,000 | IDR 30,000 | IDR 80,000 |
| Angel's Billabong | IDR 50,000 | IDR 30,000 | IDR 80,000 |
| Crystal Bay | IDR 50,000 | IDR 30,000 | IDR 80,000 |
| All fees | IDR 200,000 | IDR 120,000 | IDR 320,000 |
Do the fees apply on Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan?
Yes. The same amounts are set for the Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan area as for Nusa Penida: IDR 25,000 an adult and IDR 15,000 a child. Devil's Tear on Nusa Lembongan is on the site-fee list.[1, 5]
The two are listed as separate fee areas. If you stay on Lembongan and cross to Penida, budget IDR 25,000 again, and show your Lembongan receipt in case it covers you.[1]
Did the Nusa Penida fees go up?
The island rate did not go up: IDR 25,000 an adult and IDR 15,000 a child were already charged in 2025. What changed is the collection, now split between arrival and each sight; sources differ on whether the site ticket comes on top, see Conflicts.[1, 2, 6]
The new collection system has run since September 2026.[1]
Do you pay the Bali tourist levy as well?
Yes. These fees are separate from the Bali tourist levy, so you pay both.[6]
What goes wrong at the ticket counters?
Queues. On the first day of the new system, most visitors arrived without prepaid tickets, long queues formed by midday at the Kelingking and Crystal Bay counters, and some visitors had trouble with mobile data.[5]
Our rule
Visit Kelingking and Crystal Bay early in the day, with your tickets already in hand.
The queues build by midday.

Sources differ on whether the beach and viewpoint fee is a second charge on top of the island fee.
Is the beach and viewpoint fee a second charge on top of the Nusa Penida island fee?
Plan for the island fee once, plus a site fee of the same amount at each charging site.
The regency's own texts set one tariff and give no per-site rate; only a pre-launch news report gives the per-site amount, and a later one confirms two separate charges without amounts. For a family of four on three sites the readings differ by IDR 240,000 (IDR 320,000 against IDR 80,000), so budgeting for both is the safe call.
