Riding a Scooter in Sanur: Beach Path, Nusa Penida Port & Families
By the SiapPergi Editorial Team · Published 8 October 2026 · 5 min read
Sanur is calmer than Kuta and Seminyak, perfect for families and travellers who want a relaxed vibe. Its roads are wider, which also makes Sanur a good place to start learning to ride in Bali. Prices and booking are on the Sanur scooter rental page; this article focuses on how to ride here and where to go.
Road conditions
Roads within Sanur are relatively wide and less crowded than the rest of South Bali. But Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai is busy with big vehicles — keep left and keep your distance.
Fast boat harbour for Nusa Penida
Fast boats to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan leave from Sanur. Fast boats don't carry scooters, so park your scooter in Sanur or return it before crossing, then rent another one on the island. Book tickets at Sanur–Nusa Penida boat tickets and read the Nusa Penida scooter rental guide.
