Traveling Tips 

  • Book Your Ticket in Advance – Ferry tickets can sell out quickly, especially during peak travel seasons. Booking online ahead of time ensures you get your preferred departure time.  

  • Arrive Early for Check-in – Get to the Sanur port at least 30 minutes before departure. Boarding can be busy, and early arrival helps secure a good seat.  

  • Wear Waterproof Footwear – Many fast boats board directly from the beach in Sanur, meaning you may need to step into shallow water. Sandals or water shoes are ideal.  

  • Keep Your Belongings Dry – Splashing is common when boarding and during the ride. Store electronics and important items in a waterproof bag.  

  • Pick the Right Departure Time – Morning departures often have calmer seas, while afternoon trips may face stronger currents. If you’re prone to seasickness, opt for an earlier boat.  

  • Prepare for a Bumpy Ride – The waters between Sanur and Nusa Lembongan can be rough at times. If you get seasick easily, take motion sickness medication before departure and sit near the back of the boat for a smoother experience.  

  • Plan Your Transport in Nusa Lembongan – Once you arrive, transportation options include motorbike rentals, private drivers, and small local trucks. Arrange your transport in advance.  

  • Have Cash on Hand – Some ports charge small fees, and many places in Nusa Lembongan operate on cash only. Bring enough IDR for transportation and small expenses.  

  • Pack Light for Easy Travel – Luggage space on fast boats is limited. If you're visiting for just a day or two, a small backpack is ideal for easy movement.  

  • Check the Return Ferry Schedule – If you’re on a day trip, confirm the last ferry back to Sanur so you don’t get stranded. Some services end in the late afternoon.
