Padang Bai to Lombok Destination Reviews

AS
very Late coming and the machine of fast boat its very late
Ferry Speedboat, Semaya One, Mar 19, 2024

This journey does not take 2hrs, it is a 4hr trip with this company. We had great weather, no problems, left on time, and the journey was 4hrs. Plus arriving 1hr before departure. The public 'slow boat' option is only 60k/£3 so if you are willing to go to the south of Lombok it is a more organised option that doesn't take much longer. The staff here were rude, mocking and looking to make extra money from people where they can. The pier is CHAOS with hundreds of people pushing for different boats. No one regulates these services and as such the organisation/safety standards are poor. Boat itself was HOT and very cramped. Not suitable at all for anyone with mobility issues or disabilities- you need to climb on and off boat.

The trip took more than 4 hours (instead of 2) and it was a gamble if my name was on the actual list, so apparently it's not that trustworthy. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone

Initially it started good. They almost left on time but were delayed as 2 passengers arrived too late. But estimated time of arrival was far from accurate as we arrived over one hour late. We also had 2 change to another boat for the last part. Staff was ok and helpful.

The trip was supposed to take 1h56min, and to Lombok, they never mentioned that we would stopping first at Gili T and Gili Air. The organisation at Padang Bai was non existent so we were all trying to get on board at the same time, which made us leave late. No Aircon on board

Boat was cancelled an hour before we left/as we were checking in (12:30 for the 1:30 boat). Rushed to get transferred to the 5.5 hour slow-ferry that we sat on for almost 2 hours before it left for the 5+ hour ride to Lombok.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
