They charged me an extra in cash

Bali to Nusa Penida, Van Van + Speedboat, Bali Paradiso, Oct 6, 2026

Very very disappointed. I booked two tickets for the 28th with extra for insurance. When I received the confirmation it was for another day. When I went to the desk company, the made me believe it was my mistake and they said to check with12go but the helpline was useless and it said non refundable... So I had to buy other tickets. It costs me a lot When I arrived at the harbor, I met two others women who the same thing happened. So don't take this company and take screenshots when you make a reservation

The ship we initially booked for left the port 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. So we had to wait 1,5 hrs for the next one. Besides from that the trip was great

We hat to come 1 hour before, that is still to much for check in. And then we hat to wait further time (again more than 1 h) because the ferry came to late. The ferry back was delated (why???) and the next one will leave 4 hours later!!! What shall we do in this time with all bagage? We lost many lifetime because of this. The men there are friendly and engaged. That was positive.

Wouldn’t recommend. Car never picked us up in the morning so we had to wait half an hour before ordering our own grab to make sure we didn’t miss the ferry. The ferry part was seamless, got our tickets and straight on the boat. We never got any communication from our driver prior to 8.30am when he started asking where we were (even though he should’ve been there at 7am). The company were also uncontactable and didn’t help - we had to fix this all ourselves and ended up being late to a tour we had in nusa penida and didn’t even receive an apology
