We actively rehabilitate coral reefs and mangrove forests, conserve traditional seaweed farming procedures, and work on a sustainable future for our island as we educate the new generation.

You will have a great impact while exploring the most magnificent places and most authentic cultural events. With Ecotourism Nusa Penida we aim to upscale our social and environmental impact while spreading awareness about the topics important to us.

Nusa Penida is more than a dive spot or photo backdrop — it’s a fragile island under tourism pressure. I helped plant coral, restore mangroves, and learn seaweed farming with locals like Mona, Ayu, and Nyoman, who shared the island’s true culture and deep love for the ocean. This program is real, responsible travel — connecting with nature and the people protecting it. If you visit, give back, join the program, and leave the island better than you found it — I did.

"I had an amazing day with Gede learning about corals and the importance of farming and restoration to combat climate disruption. It was a hands on day, we went to collect the coral, attach them to rope and then plant them in the little nurseries! What an incredible experience. If I had time I would love to do their internship as you can learn soso much more about seaweed farming and mangrove planting aswell as give back to the community and school education days!
