If a scheduled ferry service is cancelled, passengers will be informed and assisted according to the applicable cancellation policy.

Depending on the reason for cancellation and availability, passengers may be offered a rescheduled departure, refund, or alternative travel arrangement.

Q3 What happens if my ferry is cancelled because of bad weather or force majeure?

Depending on the situation, available options may include:

  • Rescheduling your trip to another available date.

  • Arranging alternative transportation where available.

Insurance coverage depends on the ferry operator, ticket conditions, and applicable travel policies.

We recommend checking the insurance terms associated with your ticket before travelling. Passengers may also wish to arrange their own travel insurance for additional protection.

Q2 Are there any restrictions on who can travel?

Passengers with certain medical or physical conditions should consult their doctor before travelling by fast ferry.

Passengers who are pregnant, elderly, have serious heart or back conditions, or have other medical concerns should inform the ferry operator before travelling.

Specific travel restrictions may vary by ferry operator and route.

Q3 What should I do if I get seasick?

If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend preparing before your journey.

You can consider taking suitable motion-sickness medication before departure, following the instructions provided with the medication. During the journey, sitting in a stable area, looking toward the horizon, and avoiding heavy meals before travelling may also help.

If you feel unwell during the journey, please inform the crew.

Q1 Which departure port should I use?

The best departure port depends on your route, accommodation, and destination.

Common ferry departure points for Bali–Gili–Lombok routes include Padang Bai, Serangan, and other designated ports depending on the ferry service.

Before travelling, always check your ticket carefully for the correct departure port, check-in location, and departure time.

Q2 How long does it take to get to the ferry port?

Travel time to the port depends on your hotel location, traffic, weather, and the departure port.

If you are travelling to Padang Bai or another port from southern Bali, we recommend allowing sufficient extra time for traffic, especially during weekends, holidays, and peak travel periods.

Q3 What if I have a connecting flight later on the same day?

We strongly recommend allowing plenty of time between your ferry arrival and any connecting flight.

Ferry schedules can be affected by weather, sea conditions, harbor operations, and traffic. If your flight is important or non-flexible, travelling to Bali a day before your flight is the safest option.

Bali Lombok Ferry cannot guarantee that a ferry will arrive in time for a same-day flight connection.

Q4 Do you offer hotel pick-up and drop-off?

Hotel transfer services may be available for selected routes and locations, depending on the ferry operator and transfer provider.

Additional charges may apply, and availability can vary depending on your hotel location.

Please contact our team before booking if you require a hotel transfer to or from the ferry port.

Q5 What transportation is available in the Gili Islands and Lombok?

Gili Islands: Motorized vehicles are generally not used on the main Gili Islands. Visitors can typically walk, cycle, or use local horse carts where available.

Lombok: Taxis, private drivers, ride-hailing services, and hotel transfers may be available depending on your destination. Your accommodation can often help arrange transportation from the harbor.

Nusa Penida & Nusa Lembongan: Local transportation is available through taxis, private drivers, scooters, and other local services.

Q6 What if I don't know my hotel or pick-up location yet?

That's okay. If you require a hotel transfer, provide your accommodation or pick-up information as soon as possible once it is confirmed.

We recommend providing the final pick-up details at least 24 hours before departure whenever possible. This gives the transfer team enough time to arrange your transportation.

What time should I arrive at the ferry port?

We recommend arriving at the designated check-in point at least 30–60 minutes before departure, depending on the ferry operator's requirements.

During weekends, public holidays, and high season, allow additional time for traffic, parking, check-in, and boarding.

What should I bring with me?

  • Your ferry ticket or booking confirmation.
  • Passport or valid identification.
  • Payment method for additional expenses.
  • Reasonable luggage within the applicable baggage allowance.
  • Any required medication.
  • Travel insurance information, if applicable.

Do I need to check my ferry departure time again?

Always check your booking confirmation and contact our team if you are unsure about your departure time or location.

Can I book a one-way or round-trip ferry ticket?

Yes, depending on the route and ferry service, both one-way and round-trip tickets may be available.

You can select the option that best suits your travel itinerary.
