Just 10 min later but that‘s not so bad. The ferry ride was comfortable. The fastboat is modern and you feel safe through the ride. The port in Kusamba is not the best. They remove all the toiletpaper from the toilets. On the outside there is a little girl, running around and sell tissues for 20k rp. So not the worst scam. Toilets aren‘t clean eather. The waiting area is ok. But check-in was very uncomplicated. Maybe 2 minutes and it was done. So overall 4 stars.

Adit, our driver was really great. Kept us on time, very responsive, and very friendly. The boat took a little time to board, and we ended up getting a bit stuck when docking in Nusa Penida, but this was pretty minor.
