How to Get to Nusa Lembongan from Bali

Nusa Lembongan is one of Bali’s most beautiful island escapes, known for its crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxed atmosphere. Located just off the southeast coast of Bali, getting to Nusa Lembongan is quick, easy, and an essential part of your island adventure.

Fast Boat Transfers from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan

The most popular way to travel from Bali to Nusa Lembongan is by fast boat from Sanur Harbour. The journey takes approximately 30–40 minutes, making it one of the easiest island transfers in Indonesia. Fast boats run daily with multiple departures, giving you flexibility when planning your Bali itinerary.

Reliable operators such as Setia Fast Ferry and Rocky Fast Cruise offer comfortable and efficient transfers between Sanur and Nusa Lembongan. Setia Fast Ferry provides a traditional beach landing, where you step directly onto the sand—perfect for that first tropical island moment. Rocky Fast Cruise, on the other hand, arrives at a dock, which is ideal if you prefer a smoother, dry arrival.

These fast boat services are the most common choice for travellers visiting Nusa Lembongan and are well-suited for couples, families, and groups looking for a convenient and affordable transfer option.

Premium Speed Boat Option

For those looking for a faster and more exclusive experience, Kai Koa Speed Boat offers a premium transfer with a crossing time of around 15 minutes. This is one of the quickest ways to reach Nusa Lembongan from Bali, ideal for travellers wanting to maximise their time on the island. The service includes a beach landing and a more private, boutique-style experience.

Hotel & Airport Transfers in Bali

To make your journey even easier, most fast boat services offer hotel pick-up and drop-off from popular areas in Bali, including Sanur, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, and Kuta. This means you can book a seamless transfer from your accommodation or directly from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan without needing to organise separate transport.
