From Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud

From Kuta (18 km, 25–35 minutes): head east from Kuta toward the coast, take Jl. Pantai Kuta heading north toward Nusa Dua, continue onto Jl. Pratama, follow signs to the Tanjung Benoa water sports area, then turn toward the beachfront area where Pulau Penyu departure points are located. This route takes you through bustling tourist areas, so traffic can be heavy during peak hours.

From Seminyak (20 km, 30–40 minutes): head south from Seminyak toward Kuta, continue onto Jl. Pantai Kuta, then follow the same route as the Kuta directions above. The Seminyak route is slightly longer but offers a scenic coastal drive through Bali’s most vibrant beach areas.
