Lombok to Bali Destination Reviews

MI
Very disappointed. The website showed a departure at 8:00 AM and an arrival in Bali at 9:30 AM. When we arrived, we were told we would arrive around 11:30 AM at the latest. In the end, we only arrived at 12:30 PM. We had a flight to catch, and luckily we had planned a big time buffer, otherwise we would have missed it. Totally unreliable schedule.

The ferry from Lombok to Bali got delayed by almost an hour due to tidal conditions. Also there was no water being served inside the ferry, only beer. Overall the ferry ride was comfortable.

We payed a lot for a fast boat from Senggigi directly to Padangbai at 10.30 in the morning. The trip would take 1.5 hours. Just 1 day before they rescedules to another boat at another harbour, 40 minutes away (bangsal) at 9.00. And the boat stopped at all the gilli’s allong the way. Took 3 hours. No compensation, nothing. We were not happy. But we made it across😃.

I bought the tickets at 13:40 for a boat departing at 14:45. When we arrived at Bangsal Pier at 14:15, the operator of Ostina told us we where not supposed to buy tickets less than 24 hours before departure. Therefore, he told us our seats were not guaranteed and we had to wait until the time of departure (15:00 and not 14:45 by the way) to know if we were allowed to get on board. As we where on hurry, he told us we could get tickets for a boat departing right now, with seats guaranteed... So we decided to buy new tickets directly, paying 2.000.000 IR more... So finally the 70€ of the first booking have been lost, as we didn't even wait for the boat, having no guarantee that our seats would be booked. Can we get a refund ? As this is not the first time we were told so during our trip in Indonesia, could you make sure not to sell ferry tickets on D-day ? Thank you !
