To get to Nusa Lembongan from Bali is easy! The island of Nusa Lembongan is around a 12-mile journey from mainland Bali. The only way to reach the island is via boat. Most boats depart from Sanur, which is just east of Denpasar. It takes only a short 30-minute journey from this harbor.
In Sanur Beach and then catch a speed boat from there. Boats leave every hour throughout the day and will charge about Rp 300,000 per head for a round trip.
25-30 minutes with a fast boat from Sanur, Bali. Depending on the fast boat company you choose, drop-off at your accommodation on the island may be included. We tend to use and recommend Marlin Fast Cruise, as they drop off and pick up from Mushroom Beach and have a fast boat. We can assist in arranging the transfer by fast boat from Sanur to Lembongan Island by providing information on departure times.
Another option is to arrange the fastboat transfer to Lembongan Island yourself. You can purchase tickets directly at the harbor or book them yourself online using the Easybook app or their website. The ride is quick, and they usually arrange a drop-off at your accommodation.
The options given are either Jungut Batu or Mushroom bay and seeing as both are on Nusa Lembongan, you just need to make your choice. The boat ride will generally take about 25-30 minutes if the waves are not too big. If you tend to get sea sick, do not worry about that to much because you are on Nusa Lembongan before you know it!
Three important things to remember:
- If you book scuba diving in Lembongan with us here at Scuba Center Asia, we can make your boat reservation for you, so all you have to do is show up and pay for your ticket!
- Anywhere you stay in Bali should be able to organize your boat for you as well as your transport to the port.
- If you happen to make a mistake and get dropped off on the wrong part of the island, do not worry. Transfers are usually included in your hotel/homestay in the price of the boat ticket or a very small extra charge. Always double check when booking.
