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.

On time, one of the few boats to Lembongan with Air Condition. At Lembongan you have to change boats to get to the beach where the Journey ends. Last steps in the water. So be prepared to take off your shoes or wear proper sandals and clothes. This should bei mentioned in the booking process. However, smooth service and ride to Lembongan. Best Ferry in my opinion.

Check in was simple. They even carried bags for you to the boat and put on the boat for you. Fast and efficient and a good price!

Everything went well. Took about 20mins to get the small boat to shore so ended up being about 1hr total.
