Bali to Lembongan Ferry - Travel Tips

Knowing what to expect for your journey from Bali to Lembongan can make your trip much smoother.
From the modern terminal in Sanur to the unique "wet landings" on the island, here are the essential pointers for a hassle-free experience:

The "Wet Landing" Reality - Nusa Lembongan (Jungut Batu) still uses beach landings. You will likely need to step off the boat into knee-deep water, so we strongly recommend wearing shorts and flip-flops for your arrival.
Sea Conditions - The crossing to Nusa Lembongan is a short hop across the Badung Strait, usually taking only 30 minutes. While the waters are generally calm, conditions can get choppy during the windy season (typically June to September).
Morning departures are usually the smoothest, and seasickness medication or ginger can help if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Check-In Time - Most fast boat operators recommend arriving 60 minutes before departure to complete check-in and boarding.
Port Fees - Some ports charge small departure or arrival fees. This may be included in your ticket with some operators, while others require payment at the port.
You can find detailed information about current port fees here.
Luggage Limits - Fast boats typically allow one medium-sized suitcase (up to 25kg) and one small daypack per passenger.
Storage space is limited, so large items like surfboards may incur an extra fee and should be mentioned before travel.
Ticket Booking - Booking online in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons like July–August and December–January.
Pre-booking ensures your seat and often includes a better rate than the "walk-up" prices at the harbor. It also allows you to coordinate hotel transfers, which many operators like D'Camel and Scoot offer.
Island Hopping - If you plan to see more than just Lembongan, some operators like Scoot Cruises offer "Island Hopper" tickets.
This allows you to depart from Bali, spend a few days on Nusa Lembongan, and then continue your journey to the Gili Islands or Lombok on the same booking.
Safety and Sun Protection - All reputable operators provide life jackets and follow international safety standards.
If you choose to sit on the open top deck for the 30-minute crossing, be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat, as the tropical sun reflection off the water is incredibly strong.

Bali to Lembongan Ferry Routes

There are several convenient routes for traveling from Bali to Lembongan by fast boat, depending on where you’re staying. Choosing the right departure point can save time and make your journey smoother:

Padang Bai to Nusa Lembongan – This is the top choice for travelers coming from East or Central Bali, including Ubud, Candidasa, or Sidemen. Fast boats from Padang Bai take approximately 20 minutes to reach Nusa Lembongan, offering the shortest sea crossing. This route is especially convenient if you are already in the north or east of Bali, as it saves you a long drive down to the crowded Sanur area. Many operators also include or offer shuttle services from the surrounding hills of Ubud.
Sanur to Nusa Lembongan – Ideal for travelers in South Bali, including Denpasar, Kuta, Seminyak, or near Ngurah Rai Airport. Most departures operate from the new Sanur Harbour (Matahari Terbit), which features a modern terminal and a jetty for much easier boarding. The journey takes just 30 minutes, with frequent daily sailings to Jungut Batu. Sanur is convenient for families, offering waiting areas and cafes, though traffic on the main bypass can be heavy, so allow extra time.
Serangan to Nusa Lembongan – Best for travelers in South-East or central coastal Bali, such as Nusa Dua or Jimbaran. The fast boat takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and many operators (like D'Camel and Eka Jaya) provide hotel pick-up services.
Serangan is less busy than Sanur, providing a quieter boarding experience and a smooth start to your journey.
