FAQ

Before you sail

Where do fast boats to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan leave from?

+

From Sanur Harbour, at Matahari Terbit on the north side of Sanur, about 30 to 60 minutes by car from the airport. Some companies ask you to check in at their office near the harbour first, so read your ticket.

Where do boats to the Gili Islands leave from?

+

Most leave Padang Bai in East Bali. Eka Jaya, Gili Getaway and BlueWater Express also sail from Serangan, close to the airport, and Semaya One from Sanur, with stops on the way.

How early should I be at the harbour?

+

Plan to check in 30 minutes to an hour before departure: Rocky Fast Cruise asks for 45 minutes at its Sanur office, and Golden Queen for an hour at Padang Bai. Allow extra time for traffic to Sanur in the morning.

How much luggage can I take?

+

Most of the companies we list allow two pieces with a combined 25 kg. Scoot allows 40 kg in total, and Rocky Fast Cruise two checked bags of up to 22 kg each. Extra or oversized bags may cost more and travel only when there is space.

Can I take a surfboard on a fast boat?

+

Yes. Starfish Fast Cruise: IDR 50,000 a board. Rocky Fast Cruise: free; tell them when you book. Gili Getaway: IDR 100,000 a single-board bag, IDR 200,000 a multi-board bag, each way. Ask the other companies when you book.

Is a hotel transfer included?

+

It depends on the ticket. Sanjaya Fast Boat, El Rey Fast Cruise and Sugriwa Express include a transfer from your hotel in Bali on the Nusa Penida run, and Rocky Fast Cruise sells a Lembongan fare with a shared pick-up in Bali. Gili Getaway’s fare does not include one. Check what your ticket covers before you book a driver.

Do fast boats run in bad weather?

+

Sailings can be delayed or cancelled when the sea is rough, and timetables change with the season. Confirm your time with the operator the day before, and avoid taking the last boat back on the day of an international flight.
