D'Camel Fast Ferry: One of the best-rated budget ferry operators in Bali.
D'Camel runs a well-organised service from Sanur Harbour to Nusa Lembongan, arriving at Jungut Batu.
Hotel pick-up is available from a wide range of south Bali areas before departure, and a shared shuttle covers the main areas of Lembongan on arrival.
-
Rocky Fast Cruise: Rocky is one of the most dependable operators on the Sanur to Lembongan route, with 4 daily departures giving plenty of flexibility when planning your day.

Air-conditioned cabin, consistent schedule and hotel transfer options across south Bali and Lembongan make it a practical choice.

How to get to Sanur Harbour
-
From Kuta or Legian: Around 30 minutes to 1 hour by car. An easy and affordable taxi or Grab ride, even on an early morning departure.
-
From Seminyak or Kerobokan: Around 35 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Similar distance, slightly more traffic. Leave a comfortable buffer.
-
From Canggu: Around 45 to 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on traffic. This can stretch longer during morning rush hour, so factor that in.
-
From Nusa Dua or Jimbaran: Around 35 minutes to 1 hour by car, mostly on the bypass road.
-
From Ngurah Rai Airport: Around 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on traffic. If you are connecting directly from a flight, both operators' transfer services can meet you at the airport.

Sanur to Nusa Lembongan Travel Tips
-
Check in at least 1 hour before your departure: Both Rocky Fast Cruise and D'Camel require passengers to check in at least 1 hour before departure.
Sanur Harbour can get busy during peak season, and boarding for multiple boats can overlap.
Arriving with time to spare avoids a last-minute rush.
-
Book ahead in peak season: July, August and the Christmas and New Year period are the busiest times for fast boats out of Sanur.
Seats on popular departure times fill up quickly, so booking your Sanur to Nusa Lembongan ferry in advance is the simplest way to guarantee your spot and often lock in a better price.
-
Morning departures tend to be calmer: The Bali Strait can pick up chop in the afternoon.
The crossing is short enough that most passengers do not notice, but if you are prone to seasickness a morning departure is worth choosing when your schedule allows it.
-
Add a transfer at the time of booking: Both operators offer hotel pick-up in south Bali and drop-off on Nusa Lembongan.
Adding this when you book is usually cheaper and more convenient than arranging transport separately, particularly if you have a lot of luggage.
- Keep to the luggage allowance: Both Rocky and D'Camel allow 2 pieces of luggage up to 25 kg in total. Oversized or excess bags may be subject to an additional fee at the harbour.

Nusa Lembongan to Sanur
The crossing back to Sanur takes around 30 minutes.
You can book your return ticket at the same time as your outward journey, which is often slightly cheaper than two separate one-way bookings and saves you the hassle of arranging it once you are on the island.
