Bali to Mataram Destination Reviews

LB

the ship didn't leave on time. you're supposed to be there an hour before check-in and you only need to be there 10 minutes before the ship leaves. So we waited in the waiting room for an hour and then another hour on the ship before we set sail. the toilets on the ship were crazy. water everywhere, burst pipes, damaged ugly seats. Smoking was allowed everywhere, which I found quite disgusting and other passengers threw trash right under themselves. It serves the purpose of a cheap trip, but you get the experience 🤣

Easy to get the ticket once arriving at the port but it was a very small ferry which meant there was no seats besides being on the floor and at first under the sun.

Easy process to buy and to get the ticket. No proper toilet for women though. I guess the price you pay is the quality you get. There were plenty of seats though (both outside and inside) and we could move around and appreciate the view.
