Nusa Lembongan to Bali Travel Tips

  • Check your boarding location:  D'Camel departs from Jungut Batu Harbour, Rocky from Rocky Beach Club, Telatak Harbour, and Eka Jaya from the Yellow Bridge .
     
  • Port taxes: Eka Jaya includes Bali port taxes in the ticket price. D'Camel and Rocky do not. Check Bali and Nusa Lembongan Port Taxes.
     
  • Eka Jaya is the only option for Padang Bai and Nusa Dua: If you need to arrive at either of these ports, you have one daily departure in the afternoon. Book in advance, particularly in peak season, as these sailings fill up.
     
  • Allow enough time for airport transfers: If you are catching a flight from Ngurah Rai, factor in the crossing time plus the road transfer from your arrival port. From Nusa Dua the airport drive takes around 30 minutes, from Sanur around 45 minutes. Build in extra time during peak season when traffic can be heavier.
