About Semabu Hills Fast Boat
To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Semabu Hills Fast Boat offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Semabu Hills Fast Boat?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
- To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
- Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
- Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
- Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
- Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
- Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Ferry Speedboat, Semabu Hills Fast Boat, Sep 30, 2026
The boat was comfortable and the crossing just a bit rolling. The crew was helpful to secure us when boarding and going down the ladder to the sitting area. It is a bit of a shame that we have to pull our luggage from the waiting room to the boat through sand and gravel. Although it is not very long to the seaside, it would help if the path was paved.
We were only 15mn late.

Semabu hills is very flixable and that made all the difference. Upon our return from Nusa Penida our faily split and some came back a day earlier that the ticket date and the semabu hills team at the port were super flexible and gave no problems.
The rest of us went back on the date ordered however on a different hour and once again there were no issues at the cocunter.

Tremendously comfortable ride. Advertised 30 minutes. It was 50. But the ride was nice. I slept. Seats were great.

The company is great, they’re very flexible so even though on the way there we missed our ferry. They said no problem. You can go on the next one. Also, on the way back the family split and they told us it would be no problem. That half of us go back one day and the other half the other day. Very happy with the service.

It was a very easy experience. Ask someone for directions to or drop you off at this ticket office. There are some stores and restaurants around if you want something to drink while you wait. They announces and directed everyone to the correct spot on the pier. They loaded luggage and people quickly. The actual boat was longer and wider (4 seats per side) than the speedboat I came in on. It made for a smoother, quicker trip. Note about the Sanur port drop-off point: It is nowhere near the Grab taxi pickup area and Grab will not come to you. Either preplan a pickup, negotiate with a local taxi here, or be prepared to walk with your luggage in the hot sun for Grab.

Booked for 6:30am to beat the crowds in NusaPenida tourist spots but boat didn’t leave before 7:15. I’d say they combined 6:30 and 7:00 group together. However the vehicle had comfy seats with enough space. Ride was good just the schedule accuracy is off.

Overall ok. But doesn't run on time. Also they advertise 30 minute duration but it actually takes 45 minutes or even more.

Ferry was late. Poor seating arrangements at the waiting area. Need improvements at seating area to accommodate the travellers and road conditions from waiting area to ferry. One staff left towards the ferry and all followed him. There was no communication or announcements to board the ferry.

Buying ticket was easy, boarding and disembarking all fine. Journey takes longer than listed - 45 minutes rather than 30 minutes.

This rating is relative to the other fast boat I took - in terms of absolute comfort, do not expect much, although it is a plus that they sell beer on board.

We had to buy ticket again because of your internal problem with ferry's companies. We Hope to receive our refund as soon as possible

I was told via the company’s WhatsApp that I could get the 14:30 boat, but they do not run a 14:30 boat. Then, the 15:00 boat was deliberately held until 15:30 to make sure it was full, with us sat inside sweating and clueless. So, don’t expect to be able to make this crossing in a hurry. The sea was rough - always aim to travel in the morning.

We got to the Island and it was easy to find the boat. The staff was both friendly and efficient. 4 stars because of bad ventilation inside the boat and when we arrived we had to take of our shoes and jump into the water on the beach by the harbour. It was no problem but we could have been notified so we had proper shoes and clothes to do so. It became a fun memory, just a bit inconvenient when we found out.

Never riding with this company again. They were 1hr late leaving, the boat was incredibly overcrowded, and the inside was incredibly hot due to lack of air circulation and overcrowding.

We arrived more than two hours earlier than our scheduled time and they let us catch a boat as soon as possible. We were very grateful

Only Life Vests for around half the passengers on board. Very uncomfortable especially after a sinking boat only 2 weeks ago and heavy waves in the middle of the ocean.
Also tiny boat with little space and almost no airflow.

All good and nice experience. But 1 thing have to share that speed boat operators have to instruct the safety preparedness to the passengers before start a ride.

Simple, easy and well priced way to book transfers to the islands. Boat was late arriving but the trip was smooth and well organised. A little hot and cramped on the boat, but that is to be expected with any of the companies offering transfers. Will definitely use again.

Our boat had two decks. If you want to sit in the upper deck, you have to buy drinks from the crew. No big deal at all, if every drink didn‘t cost 50K - beer or softdrinks, doesn‘t matter… Somebody would say, you are forced to be an alcoholic…

The boat itself was smooth. The staff seem to behave like they're herding cattle a little bit but most public transport follows that theme. Not a lot of space in the chairs. If you're over 6ft tall like me, be prepared for some numb legs.

The port in Nusa Penida is terrible basically a ruin.
Not much of the companies fault though
Ride takes more like 45 min (not 30 min not even in perfect weather conditions I believe) plus waiting time to get in and out of the boat.
Staff was very friendly , they handheld our luggage with care and the boat comfortable enough for this duration.
Tickets say to be there 1h before . Ride was at 8 o clock back to Sanur. Check in Office Opened up at 7:30.

You need 1 hour at least, not 30 Min. The trip was ok.
