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. Wijaya Buyuk 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 Wijaya Buyuk?
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.
Fast ship, average comfort, you feel safe, it's no Queen Mary but it does the job

boat departed on time and has plenty of seats to chose freely. I travel with a partner and despite we get no designated seats, we were able to stay together the whole trip.
ppl need to read the ticket too, some of the passengers were making questions about why do we need a transfer to another boat to get to nusa lembongan, when it has been explicitly written in the ticket the entire time.

You had to pay a harbour twx for using the ferry but this was not included in fare andvthere was no prior information about it. Many ticket holders git onto jetty to be turned back to pay this. Ferry was late, chaos on wharf, you were asked to wait in a room for your ferry but all those that came late got first pick at seats. We were crammed into the bottom of the ferry and again some passengers thought their bags deserved a seat over passengers. The trip was otherwise comfortable, the seas claim. Getting off the boat in Panang Bai was difficult, you had to literally push you way out through taxi and other drivers vying fir fares. Some had got onto the boat. Cars packed the small parking areas around the harbour causing gridlock.

Not confortable and no space for legs, worst than in a low cost flight. Someone at the shop for the checkin didn't tell us that we have to buy the tax ticket at the harbour, so we lost time when she boat has arrived

Bought tickets from Gili Meno to Sanur and was not told that we should pay an extra fee of 25k rupuiah/pp for a transfer boat that takes you just off the harbour in Meno. Communication was very poor and it wasn't due to language barrier.

Boat was comfortable enough, but departure time was listed at 8.45 and direct. We only boarded at 9.15 and made two stops at nearby islands - one stop we sat in the harbour for 30+mins. So the advertised 1.5 hour trip time, was reached before we had even really left… appreciate some things out of their control, but lacking in commincstion to passengers

Our ferry to Padang Bai was scheduled to depart at 9:20 a.m., but it arrived more than an hour late. We had to wait outside in extremely hot weather, with no clear information or assistance whatsoever.
What made the experience even worse was that, despite the significant delay and the inconvenience caused, the company refused to offer any refund or even the slightest goodwill gesture.
Extremely disappointing service and absolutely no consideration for their customers. I strongly recommend avoiding this company.

The boat was a bit cramped but the service from the staff was great. The boat left on time and disembarking was quick. I would recommend sitting on the deck as it is much more spacious but quickly fills up.

I mean we got there but that’s about all I can say. It arrived 45 minutes late. No direction how to pay for the tax surcharge on the Gilis islands when leaving to go to nusa Lembongan. It was rammed full with numerous people not having seats and sitting on the stairs. People being sick in the main cabin as the toilets were insufficient/non existent to my knowledge.
No idea what was happening when we arrived to nusa penida, we needed to switch there but this was not communicated at the time, I assumed this when other passengers going to the same place got off. Made to handle bags myself across 2 small speedboats instead of them all mooring up on the pontoon, there was plenty of room! Was not told we would not be arriving on a beach so shoes got wet, had I known I wouldn’t have worn them, you would assume yellow bridge harbour has something. Would not use again.

Boat handled our luggage and transfer boat to Gili Meno, as well as return trip. Tickets were good at port, no issues there. Boat is nothing fancy. Can get hot, but we grabbed a seat in front of the AC and out of the sun on return trip, which was much better. Boat gets packed, expect every seat to fill. You’ll need to put non suitcase bags in your lap. Would book again due to time of trip and no issues, wish price was lower though.

One time, well organized, friendly staff. Boat seats were not that spacious, but A/C worked very well. Despite the info in the booking the boat did not stop in Nusa Penida for over an hour, staff told me this only happens in the morning. It was just a quick 15 minute stop, so passengers could get on/off. Would use them again. Add on: I think the hot room without A/C people were complaining about in other reviews is simply the official waiting area at the port in Sanur and has nothing to do with the company.

The ferry didn't come on time but the worst part was the temperature on the boat. The air condition was not able to get the area to a comfortable temperature and my window seat with direct sunlight didn't make it better. The seats were also very narrow and close to each other

From Gili T to Nusa penida, it was ok, even if the waves were very strong. But when you want to go until Nusa Lembogan, you have to change and take an other boat from Nusa penida to Nusa lembogan. This one was terrible and not adapted to transport passengers with luggages. There were no window, so we arrived in Nusa lembogan completely wet (because of the strong waves).
