Nusa Penida to Lombok Destination Reviews

CA
10mn before the departure hour, the staff told us that we will be transfered to another harbour, up to here no problem. But at this new harbour, we waited 1h30 before the departure while we were suppose to be nearly already there. We had to delay our taxi, luckily the driver was very patient and he waited for us but really not happy with this delay.

Cool team and comfortable ferry, but it arrived 1 hour later than the estimate time. It’s a lot.

Boat was a little bit delayed (30 minutes) but it was clean, not too hot nor crowded inside. We had 2 stops on the way to Lombok from Nusa but they went smoothly.

Arrived more than an hour late, despite there seeming to be no problems causing delays at all. Seems like the operator lists wrong times on 12Go, maybe intentional, maybe by mistake, we don't know 🤷‍♂️... No email response for three days now. Otherwise we were satisfied, seemed well organized.

The boat crew was kind and professional. Really appreciated the cool washcloth toward the end of a bumpy trip!

The ride in the fast boat was well organized and okay. The ride on the van was a complete rip off. Way overprized (900k for 3 people), an estimated duration that was very unrealistic (it took us 5 1/2 hours instead of 4) and the car was packed.

The ride was functional but completely uncomfortable. The cabin was full of gas fumes, there was almost no air flow and the seats are very tight. The staff was good but the boat itself is not comfortable.

The boat is big and comfortable. The service is very good, staff are efficient in loading and unloading. The AC is too strong so it was very cold inside. The advertised time was not true (Nusa Penida to Lombok is not 2 hours but 3, as it stops in the Gilis first).
