About this tour
Skip the lengthy road journey and reach Nusa Lembongan in half an hour aboard a quick catamaran from Sanur or Nusa Lembongan itself. You'll choose your departure time to suit your schedule, then select which island port works best for your accommodation—either Jungut Batu or Mushroom Bay. This flexibility cuts down on faffing about with onward transport once you arrive. The crossing is smooth enough for most fitness levels, though it's not ideal if you're pregnant or travelling with very young children who need constant support.

What to expect
You'll board at Sanur Beach or depart from Nusa Lembongan depending on your direction. The catamaran is built for speed rather than luxury, but the crossing itself is fairly brief—30 minutes of open water. Once aboard, find a seat, secure any loose items, and settle in. The boat moves steadily across the strait; expect some motion but nothing dramatic on most days. You'll dock at your chosen port on arrival, after which it's a short hop to most island accommodation.
Good to know
Infants must sit on an adult's lap throughout. Pregnant travellers should avoid this crossing. Sanur departure transfers aren't included—arrange your own or use nearby public transport. Neither is the Sanur port fee, which you'll pay separately.
