The total transfer time was supposed to be of 3 and a half hours. But we ended up lasting 7 hours. We lost the whole day because of this. The transfer from the hotel to the pier arrived on time but then we had to pickup another couple that was a bit late and they were not going to the same place! So we had to take them to the other spot before so the whole trip in the shuttle was of almost 4 hours! And we were still missing the ferry. The ferry service was normal but they kept lying to us about schedules and trip times. When we arrived they told us that in 10 minutes we were departing but those 10 minutes ended up to be almost an hour. Also although it existed a rout directly to hour route they put us in one that had two stops making the total trip time even longer. I expect a full refund for the false information you provided, because although it says “estimated” time of arrival, if it ends up being double the time is not acceptable.

The route from Bali to Lombok: The office in Bali—the staff was very nice, very polite, very efficient. However, I really don’t like situations with a lack of clarity. I asked who would lead me from the office to the port, since I didn’t know the way. I was told in the office that the “service” would take care of me. However, it turned out that simply standing outside the office, the “service” looked like this: there were people, probably arranged with the office, who don’t work for that operator. They just grab your luggage and say they’ll help you, that they’ll lead you to the port. Otherwise, you just don’t know how to get to the port. So it’s either you go and search on your own, like some people did, or you just let yourself get “caught” by this so-called help, and then they’ll indeed take your luggage and lead you to the port. But I emphasize, these are not people who work for the operator. They are just ordinary people from the street. I’d understand if they were dressed in your shirts or with the operator’s name—okay. But these are people just from the street, arranged, who aren’t really a service, but simply begging to earn by leading you with your luggage. That’s one issue. As for the next: the journey itself was fine. Indeed, at the port, there are people who handle the crossing. During the crossing, the staff offered cookies and water, and provided a wet towel to freshen up. I have no complaints about this part. It was actually a very pleasant surprise, and everything was perfectly on time.

Really friendly staff to welcome you at the office, a short walk to the pier at Padang Bai and the ferry left on time. The ferry is big and that makes the journey smooth, I didn't feel sick at all. Absolutely worth the extra money compared to the budget options if you are prone to seasickness. It's also great the luggage was stored inside so didn't get wet - this isn't true on every boat in the area.

Airco did not work. Seats at window are to small. Be aware for bagage check-in staff that try to sell taxiservice for way to high rate.Rather use Grab, whk is operating at Lombok and Bali.

How is food so cheap in Lombok?

Food in Lombok is affordable due to local sourcing and lower living costs. Traditional markets supply fresh produce, rice, and spices directly from local farms, reducing transportation and storage expenses. Street food stalls and warungs (small family-owned eateries) offer popular dishes like nasi goreng and satay, often priced between 15,000 to 30,000 IDR ($1 to $2). These venues have lower overhead costs compared to larger restaurants, allowing them to offer meals at lower prices.

Additionally, the cost of living in Lombok is generally lower than in major Indonesian cities, contributing to the affordability of dining. Travelers can enjoy authentic local cuisine without straining their budget, while also experiencing the island's rich culinary traditions.

How much does an Uber cost in Lombok?

Uber does not operate in Lombok. Instead, travelers can use local ride-hailing apps like Gojek or Grab. Prices vary based on distance and time, but a typical short ride within a city area might cost around IDR 20,000 to 50,000 ($1.30 to $3.30).

For longer distances, such as rides from the airport to popular destinations like Senggigi or Kuta, expect to pay between IDR 100,000 to 300,000 ($6.60 to $20). Always confirm the fare in the app before booking.

Local taxis are also available and may be a viable alternative; however, it is advisable to negotiate the fare in advance if the taxi does not use a meter.

Can I go to Lombok alone?

Traveling to Lombok solo is quite feasible and safe, provided you take standard precautions. The island offers a range of activities suitable for solo travelers, such as exploring the beaches of Kuta and Senggigi, hiking Mount Rinjani, and visiting the traditional Sasak villages.

For transportation, scooters are a popular choice for getting around, with daily rentals costing around 60,000 IDR ($4). Public ferries and fast boats connect Lombok to neighboring islands like Bali and the Gili Islands.

Dining options vary from local warungs, where meals are typically around 30,000 IDR ($2), to more upscale restaurants.

Tap water is not safe to drink, so it is advisable to use bottled water, which is widely available.

Exercise normal travel safety practices, such as securing your belongings and being cautious with unfamiliar environments.
