Blue Lagoon on Nusa Ceningan island is a surreal destination that truly lives up to its name. It’s home to the bluest water we’ve seen in Bali, making it a spot that you cannot miss if you’re planning a visit to Nusa Ceningan. 

We’ve put together this ultimate guide to Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan detailing everything you need to know before you go including how to book a tour, how much it costs and what to expect.

Best time to visit Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan

You can really visit Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan any time of day, but for the bluest of blue water, you’ll want to visit late morning till early afternoon when the sun is high. If you plan on cliff jumping, it’s best to do this when the water is calm and the waves are small.

How to get to Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan

Nusa Ceningan is the smallest of three Nusa islands. We stayed on Nusa Penida and visited Nusa Ceningan as part of an island hopping tour with Island Time Bali. If you have the time to spend a few days exploring the islands, then we’d recommend this. 

If you’re short on time another alternative is to book an 8-hour day trip tour on GetYourGuide, departing from Sanur port on mainland Bali. The trip includes both Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan islands with stops at all the major destinations.

Of course, you can always do a DIY tour around Nusa Ceningan and visit Blue Lagoon in your own pace. It’s a car-free island so you’ll need to rent a scooter or walk. The island is very small – only an hour’s walk from top to bottom.

What to expect at Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan

Blue Lagoon was the final stop on our Nusa Ceningan tour, and what a grand finale it was. As we arrived, it looked like a totally unassuming cliff’s edge, not unlike many others we’d visited on the Nusa islands. However, as we got closer we could see just how ridiculously blue the water was.

From the viewpoint, you can enjoy panoramic views of the lagoon out to the open ocean, and with the whitewash mixing with the blue it gave it a milky appearance. The beach below is mostly rocks with a few sandy patches, so the appeal really is the blue water.

On the far side of Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan is an epic spot for cliff jumping. We have a rule to never be the first to jump off a cliff, and since there was no one else doing it we gave it a miss, but it’s definitely a possibility at Blue Lagoon.

If the swell isn’t too hectic and you’ve done a depth and debris check, then by all means send it off the cliff. Just keep in mind there’s only one way back up and it’s by climbing up the cliff face.
