About Waruna Darma Express

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. Waruna Darma Express 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 Waruna Darma Express?

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 Fast Boat, Waruna Darma Express, Sep 13, 2026
The harbor is kind of unorganized with all people from different ferry lines mixed up and staff only yells when the next ferry is ready for boarding. The harbor itself is kind of unsafe because many planks are missing so you have to watch your step all the time. The ferry itself took longer than the advertised 30 minutes, more like 45 to 60 mins. During the whole trip there was a very strong smell of gasoline. The seat no. on the ticket also has no use since the seats have no numbers.

Sea was calm! Heard a lot about late departure, rough seas, hot weather, no fan and AC and loads of complains. Even our first purchased ticket was cancelled from another company before the day of the departure. Then we chose Waruna Darma. Everything was on time and had a wonderful experience (Still cant believe that it was a wonderful journey because of so much complains on this site).

It was a smooth ride. It was late, we started to board after 10.00 for a boat that was supposed to leave at that time. But the journey was fine

Good company. But the fast boat definitely takes longer than 30min. And check-in starts in the off season starts around departure time

I didn't know to exchange the paper ticket, and there was no guidance at the ticket exchange place, and it was a bit far from the place where we boarded the ship, which led to me and my friend missing the ship and feeling depressed.🥲。

Man holt sein Ticket am Check-in Schalter (Standort siehe E-Ticket) und bekommt ein Schlüsselband des Anbieters zur Erkennung. Eine Stunde vorher da sein ist meiner Meinung nicht unbedingt nötig, man wartet dann vor Ort (Geschäfte/Essen). Dann wird man zum Hafen geführt, dort auch alles sehr geregelt und organisiert. Mit minimaler Verspätung ging es dann los. Alle bestens, hatten sogar richtig gute Musik aufm Schiff. Überfahrt verging super schnell.

Hat alles wunderbar funktioniert. Wir hatten zwar eine halbe Stunde Verspätung aber ansonsten war alles super. Die Crew war sehr freundlich, das Boot hat einen sehr guten Eindruck gemacht und das Gepäck wurde ordentlich und sicher verstaut. Die Überfahrt war zwar etwas holprig aufgrund des Wellengangs, haben uns aber sehr sicher gefühlt. Boot wurde auch nicht überladen und jeder hatte einen festen Sitzplatz. Können den Anbieter empfehlen.
