Question 1

About the fast boats between Bali & Nusa Lembongan

Accepted Answer

​The boat ride from Bali is approximately 15km across the Badung Strait and takes about 30 minutes.   The boats are all safe with qualified captains and safety gear (not that you should need to use it), so you don’t need to be concerned about that. All of the large fast-boats have 4-6 x 250hp-350hp engines making them powerful and fast to get you to the island quickly and safely.   The fast-boats are safe and carry literally hundreds of thousands of travellers to and from Nusa Lembongan and the Nusa Islands each year, and we deal with only the most reputable, safe and trustworthy fast boat and ferry services.

There are dozens of fast boat providers that service the Nusa Islands, and many depart from different locations and arrive on different locations on Nusa Lembongan.   Depending on where you are coming from, we will select the best fast boat provider that will drop you off nearest to the resort on Nusa Lembongan to reduce your transit times wherever possible.

Whilst most people coming to the Nusa Islands are coming from Bali, Lombok or the Gili Islands, where-ever you are coming from on your way to the Nusa Islands or heading to after your time on the Nusa Islands we can help you with your transport plans.    The boat operators that service Nusa Lembongan often have their own shuttle services in Bali so they can pick you up from the airport or the accommodation you were staying at prior to heading to Nusa Lembongan. The cost for the shuttle to pick you up is usually very reasonable though the boat company will quote you on the cost.

If you have any questions, are looking for a different route, to another island for example, just ask!

Question 4

Tips for the fast boat ride between Bali and Nusa Lembongan

Accepted Answer

If you are not a huge fan of the idea of a fast boat between Bali and Nusa Lembongan, just remember, the trip is only 30 minutes each way, and you can see land the entire time.   Plus there's the big carrot that once you arrive in Nusa Lembongan you are literally in paradise!   If you’re susceptible to getting sea sick, the best time to travel is in the mornings as the seas are generally calmer and there is less wind chop.   If it is a bumpy crossing, sitting towards the back of the boat reduces the up-and-down bouncing effect, giving you a smoother ride.
