The experience

The boat leaves from Sanur port on Bali's east coast, carrying up to 75 passengers per crossing. You'll register at the fast boat office when you arrive, receive your ticket and life jacket, and board for the 45-minute journey. The crew handles the navigation and safety. Your job is to show up 30 minutes before departure. Children from age one travel on the same ticket.

You pick your destination (Nusa Penida or Lembongan), and your ticket type at checkout. One-way tickets get you to the island. Return tickets let you set your own dates for the journey back, which you confirm by message with the operator after booking. The price covers your seat, the life jacket, and insurance through PT. Jasa Raharja. If you need a hotel transfer on the islands themselves, that's available as an add-on option depending on which ticket you choose.
