Peguyangan Waterfall In Nusa Penida – A Complete Guide

Peguyangan Waterfall Nusa Penida is an iconic spot for tourists, speficially known for its blue stairs. Here’s all you need to know when visiting!

How To Get To Peguyangan Waterfall Nusa Penida

We broke down day 2 of our Nusa Penida itinerary by visiting Banah Cliff Point, Tembeling Natural Pools and Peguyangan Waterfall on scooters.

The roads are pretty rough to all 3 of the above so please take care when driving!

We recommend using a scooter to get around the island which can be rented for around 70,00 IDR per day.

On the first day of our Nusa Penida tour, we took a private day trip, which covered all the iconic spots with ease. So if you’d rather visit with a car and a driver we can highly recommend this option.

For those short on time, or that prefer everything to be organised for them, there are some awesome tours on Get Your Guide available to book in advance.

What To Expect At Peguyangan Waterfall Nusa Penida

Peguyangan Waterfall, locally referred to as Mata Air Peguyangan, is better described as Peguyangan Water Of Springs.

With it being more of a religious shrine than a waterfall, many people are disappointed by the end result. But the views on the walk down via the famous Nusa Penida blue stairs more than make up for it.

It’s a fair walk down the narrow blue steps and you may find it dangerous/difficult in your sarong – so we took ours off until we reached the bottom.

We began our walk down at around 5pm, just as the sun was starting to move towards setting, and the glimmers of light made for some beautiful photos.

The walk down took around 20 minutes and the views from the top of the cliffs went for miles. You can even see groups of wild Manta swimming around at the bottom!

When we finally reached the end of the hike down the rumours were true. It wasn’t a waterfall but a sacred temple with a natural spring running around it.

There were three spouts at the entrance where locals typically shower to cleanse themselves before entering the grounds.

We had a scout around and took in the scenery, although time was ticking and we had to get back to the bikes before sunset.

So off we set back up those amazing but deadly Nusa Penida blue stairs. Oh, and don’t ask why they’re painted blue?
