BALI TO LOMBOK BY SEA
Traveling by bus can be an unforgettable experience despite the time and energy consuming. Air-conditioned executive buses are available at Ubung Bus Station in Bali, some of which starts at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Taking a regular shuttle bus is also a possible alternative to travel by bus to Lombok. Just inquire at any shuttle ticket sales counter in places of interests like Kuta, Ubud, or Sanur. However, traveling by public buses for such a long distance is not recommended as the public buses constantly stop either to drop off or pick up passengers along the way. Even if the bus is not yet full, it might keep looping around the station or town looking for more passengers. Taking a public bus in this case also will make your time and schedule very unpredictable. Instead, self drive a hired car from Bali and cross to Lombok by ferry is worthwhile considering.
Public ferries depart every two hours for the sea voyage between Padang Bai Harbor (Bali) and Lembar Harbor (Lombok). The crossing between the island takes approximately 4 to 5 hours. One Way ticket cost is US$ 3 per person. The cost for transporting motorbike is US$ 9 including biker, and for a car is US$ 53.
Padang Bai harbor is approx. 1.5 hours by car from Kuta and South Bali.Lembar Harbor is approx. 1 hour south of Senggigi, Lombok. Arrange your own transfers and buy tickets direct from the harbor, or use a reputable tour company to provide through service.
