About Semaya One

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. Semaya One offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Main Stations of Semaya One?

Semaya One ferries travel to a number of popular destinations. The list of the stations serviced by Semaya One includes but is not limited to:

  • Padang Bai Semaya One
  • Gili Trawangan Ocean 2
  • Bangsal Pier
  • Nusa Penida Semaya One
  • Gili Air
  • Gili Trawangan
  • Padang Bai Port
  • Padang Bai Fast Boat Bali
  • Sanur Semaya One
  • Lembongan Semaya One

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Semaya One?

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.

Transport with the boat was smooth but the transfer afterwards was a huge hassle no signage or clear path where to go. Almost got scammed by somebody else pretending he was our shuttle driver. Saying our taxi ride from padang bai to sanur would still take 3,5H, instead of the normal 1,5 H but we could get a private taxi instead. Luckily we found our real shuttle after searching further. It’s all taxi maffia be aware!!

It was almost perfect, just that there were some scammers who try to catch up the tourists on the port in Bali. This was annoying. I needed some time to find the company's office.. :( but at the end everything turned out pretty well, thank God!

Everything was gut with the boat and we arrived in Bali on time. In Bali there is a lot of people trying to convince you that the van/Bus has a lot of delay or will use a longer way to the destination just to make you buy a new ticket for a faster taxi. They are all together organized. Don’t give up and don’t take a Gran for 650k but wait insead, after 15 minutes discussion they will bring you on time at the destination!

The second transport was not what we payed for. We paid for a mini van after the ferry but what was offered was a bus that would make us hours late. We ended up having to pay for other transport instead.

The ride in the fast boat was well organized and okay. The ride on the van was a complete rip off. Way overprized (900k for 3 people), an estimated duration that was very unrealistic (it took us 5 1/2 hours instead of 4) and the car was packed.

I booked a bigger and saver ferry - but after 1,5 hours arrived a small ferry which was way cheaper on the platform. No information via email that the ferry is delayed. The sevice at the Port was also not good.
