About Semaya One

While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.

Ferry trips offered by Semaya One can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Semaya One Main Piers

Here is a list of some of the main piers you can reach with Semaya One ferries. Check the complete station guide before you go:

  • Padang Bai Port
  • Gili Trawangan Ocean 2
  • Nusa Penida Semaya One
  • Padang Bai Semaya One
  • Sanur Semaya One
  • Gili Trawangan Port
  • Lembongan Semaya One
  • Bangsal Pier Semaya One
  • Gili Air Semaya One
  • Bangsal Pier

Semaya One Ferry Types & Tickets Prices

High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.

Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
  • Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
  • On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
  • Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
  • Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

Ferry Speedboat, Semaya One, May 1, 2024
You can not expact anything. The boat is very full and hot. If you're lucky the waves are low and you don't feel sick. Do never ever book the transport by bus from Padang bai to ubud or other destinations from this company. They told us that the private bus (×20 persons) is a direct transport to ubud center (that's about 1,5h drive). We payed 100k per person witch is good price. But the secound we ask the driver he told us ubud is the 5th stop and it will take 4h to get there. We couldn't get a refound. Just use Grap or ask one of the taxi drivers. The normal price is about 350k without dealing.

The actual departure at Bangsal, Lombok was at 13:30 (not 13:00 as planned). At 13.00 you walk together from the office to the harbor. There you have to pay another IDR 10,000 per person for the harbor Taxi (don‘t know exactly for what). The boat was quite full (boat stops beforehand on the Gili Islands) not everyone got a seat. We had one stop on Nusa Penida. Travelers to Nusa Lembongan had to change to another boat here. We arrived in Sanur at 4.50 pm. The duration of the trip always depends on the weather and waves. It was a bit wavy for us. All in all, the trip was ok, as usual for Indonesia / Asia.

Was expecting the worst from all the bad google reviews, but everything went pretty smoothly. First boat was very hot to Nusa Penida but on the second one, even though without AC, there was enough wind to stay comfortable. I would suggest the company to have “vomit” bags handy as there were only 2 windows from where people who got sick could go relieve themselves. Had the ride been more rough, the consequences could be catastrophic!

We went from Nusa lembongan to Gili T and all was good. Boat came on time, they loaded and unloaded luggage fast. We had to change boats in Nusa penida. I am cutting one star as the first boat (from Nusa lembongan to Nusa penida) was shit - hot, no place to sit, no air, people were boiling in there. But fortunately it was a quick one and then we changed boat to a nice one.

Ferry Joint trip via Padang Bai, Semaya One, Jan 17, 2024
Wir haben sehr kurzfristig noch nachts gebucht und waren nicht sicher, ob das abholen un 10 Uhr morgens klappt. Aber alles tip top. Unser Fahrer wayan war auch nice. Am Hafen hat das einchecken zügig geklappt. Haben dort gefrühstückt und dann ging’s mit dem fastboot auf die gilis. Fast war’s diesmal leider nicht, hat fast 3 h gedauert, was aber dem Wellengang geschuldet war. Ich fand es sehr gut, dass wir langsamer waren und nicht wie manche über die Wellen rasen und springen und man sich unsicher fühlt.

Boat smelled of petrol the entire ride. Hard to look outside so a bit seasick. Left 45 minutes later than planned (although the operator said at check in already it would leave half an hour later). I actually booked another boat, but they changed the time and departure harbor. 12go emailed me about this asking if i wanted to cancel. I sais yes, because it was inconvenient for me. Then I never heard back again.

En la web de 12go Asia te dan como 3 opciones de horarios cuando en realidad hay solo una. Nosotras bookeamos el ferry de las 12:30, cuando llegamos a hacer el check in nos dicen que hay un solo ferry que sale a las 13 y con suerte (spoiler terminamos saliendo 13:45). No nos molestó la demora en sí (porque ya sabíamos que podía pasar) sino el hecho de que te vendan distintos horarios cuando en realidad es uno solo.

Travelled with Semaya One to Gili Air and back. Both times the boat left on time. The ride takes 2,5 hours included stop at Gili T and Lombok on the way back. First boat was more comfy than the second one, had a very bumpy way back. They could be more communicative about the traveltime, stops and where to put your luggage ( gili T was stored the back of the boat, gili Air in the front)

Boat was overbooked, seats were extremely cramped with my seat not having a seat back, poor airflow / AC. Friendly enough staff, no safety presentation. Luckily the weather was good enough to sit on the top deck for space and fresh air. Luggage handling was very casual, make sure they don’t offload your luggage at the wrong stop. Harbour ‘donation’ of IDR10k enforced by locals was quite abrupt. Heard other fast boat operators had nicer boats, and better service.

The staff was friendly but we didn’t get any information about that boat change in Nusa Penida. The first boat was old, windows were cracked and on that bumpy ride I felt a little bit uncomfortable, if the ride will be good.

Too expensive. The local people give you wrong information, so they can sell it to you overpriced and before you can go on the boat you have too pay tax again and after the arrival you also have to pay, to enter the island. The boat was okay.

Boarding on time good in Gili T, but we didn’t knew that we have to drive to another Gili Iland and Lombok, because of that we arrived at 12:15 instead 11:15 in Bali, i asked some guests from Lombok there arrivaltime was 11:40.. why by us 11:15? If we knewd tgat we took abotherone boat..

Fuimos de Lembongan a Gili T. Salimos con una medio hora de retraso a pesar de ser pocos pasajeros. La primera lancha donde nos subieron, hacia un calor muy agobiante, sin aire ni ventiladores. El motor no funciona correctamente porque le costó varios intentos arrancar y después a mitad de camino se paró. En Nusa Penida hicimos cambio a otro barco, los asientos son ridículamente pequeños, no hay espacio para las piernas, demasiado incómodo, obviamente el aire no va tampoco, al menos entraba un poco de brisa por las ventanas.

We got to the port one hour before departure & the boat ended up leaving at 10, instead of 9:30. The boat was packed & there was some people left without seats. The page I booked through stated that there would be wifi & a toilet, hence why I booked with them & there was neither of these. I would never expect wifi or a toilet but I had paid above the cheapest rate as these were identified as being on the boat. The boat was VERY hot & not an enjoyable ride at all.

Man könnte mehr erwarten, andererseits ist der Preis fair. Es war extrem Heiß im Boot und es empfahlt sich oben zu sitzen. Aufgrund der Geschwindigkeit müssen die Fenster unter zu bleiben und die Hitze staut sich, sodass man in einer Sauna sitzt. Es gab zwar 2 Aircondition, die jedoch aus waren. Der Preis war trotzdem fair.

Good: the boat was on time, they divided the luggage in gili air and trewangan. Staff was very friendly and helpful Not so good: AC wasn‘t working, windows were closed by the passengers sitting next to it, due to the splashwater. Therefore it was a bit like in a sauna 😅 Tip: it you geht your Ticket - don‘t forget to purchase your harbour tax ticket at the Counter close to the jetty

The boat from Gili T to Padangbai always go through Gili Air and Lombok so add extra hour. There is no airco so its a hot box you are sitting in. The water gets in to the boat. However, It was better then Ostina.

The staff and the boat were beautiful just windy so we got a bit wet up the top but nothing the boat driver could do, definitly wasn’t his fault we could have moved but enjoyed the experience. Make sure you sit up the top it’s a much nicer ride
