About Wijaya Buyuk
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 Wijaya Buyuk can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Wijaya Buyuk 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.

Ruslan BThe trip took two hours more than planned. It seems like they put two boats in one at some stop and last hour we were in the very crowded space

Anna CI paid more money to secure the 3hr 10 min journey from Gili Air to Sanur where I could have taken a cheaper boat because the delay was over 1 hour as we needed to stop in Nusa Penida to refuel and the Captain had 45 mins to get himself sorted for snack and decided to do it right when we were leaving causing a further delay which caused the over an hour schedule. Overall the journey was 4hr 15mins. No aircon as advertised and the seats had metal springs pointed poking out which nearly tore my shorts!
We had a good sunny day so the journey wasn’t too nauseating but I still had to take medication and breathe deeply so I suggest you sit at the back of the boat and next to the window, ideally have a fan too. You will also be charged 20k for harbour tax which is not part of the ticket price…I struggled to pay the ticket for Mastercard and visa x 2. Had to wait till morning to try again. Support line had too long of a response time.

Lily TWe left an hour late but I expected it so that was alright. It was sad to see the guys making many trips carrying all of our bags in the hot sun from the waiting area to the boat. I think most people wouldn’t mind carrying their own bag.

Cristina AEverything was great, the ship left on time and was not too crowded so it was comfortable. The only downside was that we didn't know it made two stops before arriving in Lombok which annoyed me at first because it doesn't indicate stops here. Otherwise I recommend it

Darya VIn general it was fine, they came and arrived on time more or less. But they didn’t turn on the AC and said it’s broken. Also the boat was jumping so much on the waves, that even I stayed with nausea, which never happens 😃

Alex HI sent them this message yesterday and got no reply yet:
Good afternoon,
The boat I was on today from Sanur to Lombok 07:55-12:00 was delayed by over 80 minutes and passengers were not notified of this planned delay (1.5hr waiting at Nusa Penida).
I would like compensation for this. I paid 360k IDR to ride with Wijaya Buyuk because it was advertised at 4hrs rather than the 4.75 or 5hrs of cheaper options (300k IDR).
I paid 17% more to travel with Wijaya only you get there later than the cheaper alternative and with bo warning or apology.
Thank you
Alex

Overall very good but the boat seems a bit older so only 4 Stars. But price was fair.

Tilde PThe boat ride was very smooth! No need to be scared, we read lots of bad rewievs before so we were dreading the trip bit there was no issue at all. The boats are a bit late and they leave aproximatly one hour after schedualed time, but other than that it was smooth sailing!

Vanessa HThe staff made a very good job. It is a Ferry of the smaller category, but is big enough to drive pretty comfortable through the partially rough sea.
However, there was a significant difference in the proposed arrival time as per 12go website to the realistic one.
The ferry made a few stops (Gili Air, Lombok, Nusa Penida) and the last one included a break time of 45 minutes.
The proposed arrival time was 15:30. We arrived at 17:00.
Even when asking the crew during the break about the big difference in arrival time they only told us that it is not their fault but the website owner respectively online selling service as they would state wrong arrival times.
A general delay can always happen.
But to deliberately advertise an incorrect arrival time, even though this can in no way be adhered to, is a no-go for us!
The source of the false information should be identified and the arrival time corrected in the booking online tool asap!
Otherwise, it is only to attract customers with a supposedly shorter crossing time, which is actually the same, if not longer, than that of the competitors.

Ronja SThe tour was pretty exhausting.
The ferry was meant to start at 12:55. We actually started at 13:30. Before the start we had to pay an extra harbour tax. This was also written on the booking confirmation, so everything’s fine. But it took us another 20 minutes for the whole group and could be organized a better way.
As we started, the staff told us we will first go to Nusa Penida before going to Sanur. We were annoyed because there was no communication about this ain’t advance. As we arrived at Nusa Penida, the staff told us they just had to fill the tank which would take another 20 minutes for us to wait. As it was filled we thought we would start now. But unfortunately they started to fill up the seats again with more people. This took us another 20 minutes. We couldn’t understand why they didn’t do this during filling up the tank.
Then we finally started with an overloaded ferry - two people didn’t even have seats and had to sit on the stairs.
We then arrived more than an hour later at sanur.
The whole trip has just been so annoying and a better communication would be desirable.

Sam WI don't think it was technically late, but the schedule on 12go was different to what they told me when I arrived at the pier. It was due to go at 9.55 but when I arrived I asked if it was running on time and they told me, yes it's running on time so they will be leaving at 10.40... Otherwise it was very well organised and the departure and arrival times they gave me when I was at the counter at harbour were accurate.

Judit H40 minutes late, but we arrived at Gili with all the suitcases. No A/C, just windows opened, and with some water coming in from outside through the windows or the walls... Ask about the boarding point because in the vouchers appears a different one...
Despite all, the trip was not so bad as thought.

Laura TOne of the crew members threatened us with not getting into the boat if we didn’t pay the guy that brought us to the harbour. We payed him already and they made us pay twice because if not we weren’t allowed inside! Moreover, most of the passengers, like me, got sick during the trip. The AC didn’t work and it was extremely hot inside, which didn’t help at all. Also some water was getting inside the boat through the windows and got our backpacks wet… the only good thing about the trip is one lady of the crew who was super helpful and nice to everyone.

Leandra MWe had a good trip to Gili T with Wijaya buyuk. We could leave our luggage at the harbour and they put it in the boat. We got the tickets without any problems. And bc we were to early at the harbour we ate excelent brunch at the Kuldesak beach bar (next to harbour). You can pay one bintang and take a seat upstairs with good (loud) partymusic. We had a fun trip and only a view minutes delate. I can recommend this company

Tautvydas TBook ticket for 9:50 but they shipped us around 11:00. We had to come to another port to confirm registration, which was inconvenient, because the real port was close to us, so we had to make double trip. It is written that there is AC, but it was not working, so it was hot inside.
One good point, that there was places to sit for everyone.

Philippa HWe got the boat from nusa Penida to Gili T - very well organised! Journey was smooth and comfortable - easy. The only issue we had was that is said ‘10am’ on our ticket, so of course we arrived an hour early like requested but actually we didn’t even get on the boat til 10:40 and didn’t get to our destination til about 1pm. This is fine if you’ve got nowhere to be! But if you’re on strict time schedules I’d be careful. Overall a good experience!

E SDelay of 1 hour in the scheduled departure time, but made up some time during the trip.
You can buy drinks on board.
The air conditioning does not work properly, they have several splits distributed throughout the passenger cabin, you should wrap up warm if your seat is close to these splits as the cold air comes directly on this part of the passage. There is not much space between the seats so if you are a tall person, you will have problems with your legs, in that case better take a seat in the aisle.

Sara MThe goat actually leaves from another harbor, so you have to walk and go on the back of a pick up truck with your luggage. It takes 20 minutes to go to the other harbor. I guess we were too late so we left at 10.40 instead of 10.00. Also because of the wait in Gili T and Gili A, I arrived in Lombok 2 hours later than what I was supposed to. The boat was comfortable though
