Bali to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

Shuttle bus pick up from hotel 1.25hrs late so missed our planned boat departure but apart from that the rest of the experience was 'great'. Boat ride was comfortable, quick and staff were great.

Everything was excellent—we left right on time and the trip was quick. They give you a necklace with an assigned number, which they call when it’s time to board the boat. There’s a waiting room in front of the dock. The boat is very comfortable, not crowded at all, and has large seats. It doesn’t cause seasickness, and the ride takes just 25 minutes, which go by very fast. Highly recommended! The staff was very friendly as well

Driver didn’t pick us up til 1- when I was told it would be 12, the car was full and we managed to fit another person in, he then asked us if we were going to miss our departure, we didn’t know as we’d all bought the 12pm pick up slot and didn’t know when the ferry was actually leaving, the driver did seem quite stressed so we did feel a bit bad for him, we got to the port for 3:30 - the time we should of been in Nusa Penida, we got the 5pm ferry over, all in all a very long day.

The shuttle service was good although half an hour earlier which is fine because they informed me to be ready earlier. The ferry trip was a bit chaotic and very uncomfortable. The boat feels like a can packed with people. We were also at least 30min delayed. However we arrived and you can’t expect a perfect ride and most comfortable ferry for that price.

The vendor reached out via WhatsApp and provided all necessary information. The organization prior to the boarding and the ride were smooth. Would recommend! :)

The driver supposed to pick us up around 17:30 but no one showed up or even texted me. I tried to call the company but no one answered either. I had to wait for 30 minutes before the company called me back and sent another driver. The new driver was driving another group, so he put both of us on 1 passenger seat up front. We had to sit like that for like an hour. We were late for our plan and didn’t even have a proper seat.
