fast and on time boarding, reached Lembongan without any issues and on time. Note - Lembongan has no port so you have to walk a little through the water to get to the shore.

We were not told we would be decanting into a smaller boat. Step down was too steep, injured my knee going down. Same coming back, step too high, very difficult to get out when people are being hurried from behind.

Although we were running late (due to some chaos at the airport), the stuff at the Dream Beach Express were kind and calm. We made it to the ferry in time. The ride itself was fast and easy and the crew took care of our luggage at Mushroom Beach. Thank you.
