Bali to Lombok: public ferry vs fast boat

Two ways across the Lombok Strait. The public car ferry (Padang Bai → Lembar) is the budget option; fast boats are quicker and go direct to Bangsal, Senggigi and the Gilis.

Tips for the Bali to Lombok crossing

  • Arrive at the Bali harbour at least 30 minutes before departure to check in and swap your e-ticket for a boarding ticket.
  • Sea conditions in the Lombok Strait are usually calmest in the morning — earlier departures tend to be the smoothest.
  • Pack a light jacket and a dry bag: fast boats are breezy and the deck can get a little spray.
  • Most operators include one main piece of luggage plus a cabin bag per person. Surfboards and oversized bags may carry a small fee.
  • Bring a valid passport or ID — it must match the name on your Lombok booking.

Lembar is in south-west Lombok — plan a road transfer onward to Senggigi, Kuta or Bangsal (for the Gilis). Fast boats take from 1h 15m and start from Rp 450.000.

Public ferry or fast boat — which is better from Bali to Lombok?

Take the public ferry if you're on a tight budget or bringing a car or motorbike. Take a fast boat if you're heading to the Gili Islands, Bangsal or Senggigi, or simply want a much shorter crossing (from 1h 15m) with a reserved seat and e-ticket. GiliBaliBoat sells fast boats only.
