Serangan to Nusa Lembongan Operator
Eka Jaya Fast Ferry's Serangan to Nusa Lembongan service is a straightforward, no-fuss crossing on large, stable vessels with air-conditioned cabins. Their boats carry between 180 and 260 passengers, which means a steadier ride than the smaller fibreglass boats used by other operators on nearby routes.
The boarding process is organised and the schedules are reliable. Hotel and airport transfers can be added at the time of booking, which makes this a genuinely easy option if you are heading to Lembongan from anywhere in south Bali.
How to Get to Serangan
Serangan Harbour is on a small island just off the south coast of Bali, a short drive from most of the main tourist areas.
Unlike the Gili Islands routes, Nusa Lembongan is also well served from Sanur, so it is worth considering which port is actually closer to where you are staying. D'Camel and Rocky Fast Cruise both run fast boats to Lembongan from Sanur harbour with more departure times.
Serangan makes the most sense if you are coming from south or south-west Bali, or connecting from the airport.
-
From Ngurah Rai Airport to Serangan: Around 20 to 35 minutes by car via the toll road. This is the closest fast boat harbour to the airport, which makes the 15:00 afternoon departure a realistic option if you land in the morning and want to reach Lembongan the same day.
-
From Kuta or Legian to Serangan: Around 20 to 35 minutes by car. Faster than heading north to Sanur, particularly if there is traffic on the coastal road.
-
From Seminyak or Kerobokan to Serangan: Around 25 to 40 minutes. The drive to Sanur from here takes roughly the same time, so Serangan is not a clear winner; go with whichever operator's schedule suits you better.
-
From Canggu to Serangan: Around 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Sanur is a longer drive from Canggu, so Serangan is the more practical choice from this area.
-
From Uluwatu or Jimbaran to Serangan: Around 45 minutes to 1 hour. For travellers on the Bukit Peninsula, Serangan is significantly closer than Sanur and avoids the drive through Denpasar entirely.
- From Sanur to Serangan: If you are based in Sanur or coming from Ubud, D'Camel and Rocky Fast Cruise depart directly from Sanur harbour and may be more convenient, with a slightly shorter crossing time to Lembongan.
Serangan to Nusa Lembongan Travel Tips
-
You Do Not Have to Take the Morning Departure: Most fast boat routes from Bali only offer early-morning sailings. Eka Jaya's 15:00 departure from Serangan is a genuine alternative if you want a relaxed start to your travel day or are arriving on a midday flight and heading straight to Lembongan.
-
Arrive at the Harbour 1 Hour Before Departure: Check in at the Eka Jaya Serangan Harbour Office. The morning sailing fills up quickly in July, August and over the holiday periods, so arriving early is especially important then.
-
Consider adding a Hotel Transfer at the Time of Booking: Eka Jaya offers pick-up from most southern Bali areas. It is cheaper and less hassle to arrange this when you buy your ticket than to sort a taxi separately on the morning of travel.
- Check the Serangan and Nusa Lembongan port taxes.
Nusa Lembongan to Serangan
Eka Jaya runs return sailings from Nusa Lembongan to Serangan daily.
Check-in on the island is at the Eka Jaya Lembongan Harbour Office on Jl. Yellow Bridge, which is easy to find and a useful landmark if you are asking locally.
The return to Serangan works well for travellers catching a flight from Bali, since the harbour is only 20 to 25 minutes from the airport via the toll road.
Book your return at the same time as your outward ticket if you have fixed dates.
