Gangga Express
Gangga Express

Gangga Express has operated daily ferry services between Kusamba and Nusa Penida since 2013.

Its key advantage is departing from Tri Bhuwana Port in Kusamba, a quieter harbour east of Padang Bai that avoids the congestion of Bali’s busier ports. This makes it a convenient option for travellers staying in east Bali, including Candidasa and Padang Bai.

The boats are open-air with no air conditioning, but the crossing is only 15 minutes.
