How to Get to Nusa Lembongan from Sanur

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan? With its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, Nusa Lembongan is a paradise waiting to be explored. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth boarding process and an enjoyable journey.

Distance and Duration

The distance between Bali and Nusa Lembongan is approximately 15 kilometres, with a quick 30 to 40-minutes boat ride. Rest assured, the boats are spacious, safe, and equipped with modern safety gear, ensuring your peace of mind throughout the journey.

Sanur Port

The Port is newly opened in 2022 and located on Jalan Matahari Terbit. Every day, more than 20 vessels take travellers to various destinations including Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Penida and Gili islands.

Boarding Steps

Get your boarding pass

Head to the fast boat office to collect your boarding pass and check in your luggage. At the office, you will receive a small paper boarding pass with QR code along with either a boat lanyard tag or a wristband, depending on the boat provider. Additionally, you’ll be given a note for your return journey, which is essential to keep safe as you’ll need to present it to the boat office in Nusa Lembongan on your departure date.

Walk to the port

Take a short walk to the port where your boat awaits. The entrance gate is located on the left side of the port. Along the way, you’ll pass several stalls where you can purchase water and snacks for your boat ride before entering the port.

Security Check and wait in the waiting room

Once you enter the port, you’ll encounter a barrier gate in the terminal. Here, the staff will scan the QR code on your boarding pass. Only those with a boarding pass QR code are permitted to enter the gate and proceed to the waiting room upstairs.

Board your boat

An announcer will call your boat’s name. Prepare your boarding pass once again and follow the crew for instructions.

Arrival Points in Nusa Lembongan

When arriving in Nusa Lembongan, different fast boat operators drop passengers at different locations. Choosing the right one can save you time and make your transfer smoother. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the best arrival point based on your stay:

Jungutbatu Bay

If you’re staying in the Jungutbatu area, D’Stars Fast Ferry and Setia Fast Ferry are the most convenient choices. They drop you right in the heart of Jungutbatu, making it easy to reach nearby accommodations.

Mushroom Bay

Staying near Mushroom Bay? The Tanis Fast Cruise and Dream Beach Express are your options. They offer direct access to this area, known for its calm waters and scenic surroundings.

Telatak Harbour

For a jetty-to-jetty experience, Rocky Fast Cruise is the ideal choice. Unlike other arrival points where passengers disembark into the water, Telatak is the only harbor that offers a dry landing via a proper jetty.

Each arrival point offers different advantages, so selecting the right fast boat operator ensures a hassle-free start to your Nusa Lembongan getaway!

Tips

Unless you book Rocky Fast Cruise with jetty to jetty service, you will land on water. Wear appropriate clothes (shorts and flip flops) and be mindful when carrying your suitcase as it can be hard to drag on sand. You can opt to store your luggage at one of the luggage drop services near the port for extra convenience.
Traffic to reach Sanur Port can be unpredictable and we strongly suggest to spare extra transport time. For the most practical way to reach the port, book a transfer that includes pickup and drop off by the boat company.
Go to the toilet before boarding as only some fast boats have a toilet onboard. But with the boat going at 50 km/h, it will not be the easiest toilet experience.
Sit at the back of the boat to reduce the up and down bouncing motion experienced during the ride.
The smoothest rides are often in the morning before the wind picks up. Less chop on the water.
No F&B service on the boat, so you can bring your own water and snacks.
Separate your travel bag and take a small backpack for your water and snacks as your luggage will be put in the main storage area of the boat.

AIRPORT → SANUR

The journey from the airport to the Sanur port is straightforward. It will take approximately 45 minutes to reach the ferry terminal, depending on traffic conditions and the time of day. The driver will make a quick stop at the Rocky office to collect tickets and then drop you directly in front of the new terminal, where you will wait for your boat to Nusa Lembongan.

No matter how many bags you bring, they are all included in the ticket price, and yes, surfboards are included, too!

HOTEL PICK UP

If you are already in Bali, the process is similar. Rocky Fast Cruises will arrange to collect you directly from your hotel and drop you off at the ferry terminal. A representative will make contact one day before your travel date to confirm the pick-up time and location. They offer pick-up services from all areas on mainland Bali and include pick-up in the price of the ticket for most locations. If you are staying in a more remote area, an additional fee will apply.

SANUR FAST FERRY TERMINAL

Rocky Fast Cruises has 4 boat transfers from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan per day. We will do our best to help you coordinate a transfer time with your flight arrival and estimated travel time between the airport and the ferry terminal. Most of the accommodations on the island have a check-in time of 2:00 pm, so an afternoon boat would be best.

The new terminal is a large, air-conditioned, and very comfortable space. Overhead screens display the arrival and departure times so that you can keep track of the Rocky Fast Cruises schedule. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and you will find a variety of food and beverage stalls just outside the terminal entrance.

A boarding announcement will be made and direct you to the specific boarding location. Once you have reached the gate, an attendant will check and scan your ticket. The walk toward the boat is short, and the boarding process is effortless. Grab a seat towards the back of the boat if you can. The journey across the ocean will be less bumpy, closer to the stern.

Once the lines are loose, and the boat is set free, the final leg of your trip will begin.

TOUCH DOWN ON NUSA LEMBONGAN

The captain will dock the boat on the island’s eastern side at the Rocky Beach Club jetty. That’s right; Rocky Fast Cruises is a jetty-to-jetty transfer. Once you have arrived, a driver will drop you off at your new home away from home.
