The most common means of getting to Nusa Lembongan from Bali include taking one of the small public boats from Sanur Beach, along with dedicated fast boat transfers that mostly depart from Benoa Harbour. You can find these boats parked along the coast near the beachfront of the Grand Inna Bali Beach. They usually depart at 8am, although times can be imprecise and often depend on the tide.
There are several notable fast transfer services from Benoa Harbour, ranging from fast boats to more luxurious catamarans. Departure times are around 9am, and you can enjoy a swifter and more comfortable ride compared to the smaller public boats. Most also offer full-day retreat packages with dedicated leisure and activity facilities on Lembongan. Following are a few notable cruise companies, from which you can book your seat.
The journey from Bali to Nusa Lembongan takes between 30 minutes and 90 minutes depending on the type of boat and the weather conditions.
