Booking and Reservation......
BY REGULAR FERRY FROM BALI
Alternative way to reach Lombok from Bali is by sea.
The cheapest mode of transportation from Bali to
Lombok (vice versa) is by Public Ferry. Public Ferry
service departs from Padang Bai (East Bali) to
Lembar (West Lombok) every 2 hours, operating 24
hours carrying passengers goods and vehicles. These
ferries are quite basic and slow, taking between 4-5
hours for the crossing. While they are cheap, it can
cost quite a bit extra to get to Padangbai so its
worth comparing all alternatives.
BY SHUTTLE BUS FROM BALI
Most travelers tend to take the tourist shuttle
service from Bali which includes transfers to and
from the harbors to the destination of their choice.
These shuttles charge an all inclusive price and
vary depending on your start point in Bali &
destination in Lombok. Unfortunately the vehicle/s
used is often very old. If you travel with kids, we
do not recommend using this shuttle service as
you'll be crammed into hot and stuffy minibus with
no air-con or curtain to shade you from the noon
sun.
