Driver communication was super, very kind. Check-in process easy. Only downside is the walking distance from check-in to the boat, the sun was meltong us at 32º, and I don't wanna think if it was raining

Everything went very well! The driver arrived on time at the Coco supermarket (10:00 am). The driving and service were excellent. Upon arriving at Sanur port, the driver got out to collect our credentials and ferry tickets and gave them to each passenger. He then dropped us off at the boarding area, where the ferry staff collected our luggage. We had to wait there for over an hour until the ferry departed (12:00 pm). The boarding process was smooth, and the crossing to Nusa Penida was very pleasant, as the sea was calm. We arrived at Banjar Nyuh port exactly 45 minutes later. Disembarkation was quick, with immediate delivery of our luggage. The only thing I didn't like was that the boat was very old, worn, and dirty.

The transfer was 30/40min late, we was supposed to arrive at 10am to Nusa Penida island and we arrived at 11am. Apart from this everything was ok, the ferry is small and very hot inside but i think all boats are the same. Better travel as early as possible because of the sea movement and the wind/waves.

I was messaged the day before the departure that I was going to have to pay an extra 100k idr which I was not too happy about. I wanted to cancel the trip but was left now choice since cancelling was impossible. So I was forced to pay an extra fee which btw is complete bullshit. There is no way that the original cost doesn’t cover the operational costs (which is why they told me they needed the extra money). Then when I got into the car the taxi driver really wanted to take me shopping. Being really pushy and also lying about prices etc. Telling me Sulawesi is more expensive than Bali and how 100k is a good price for coffee lol. Overall a bad experience considering how I paid a premium price even before the extra fee and had a scammer as driver. He was also talking shit about the people in Java (I had been in Java before and only had a great time).

The driver was half an hour early at the meeting point. So were we and all other passengers. This was excellent as we could leave early and there was so much traffic that the extra half hour was good to have. Driver was a good driver and very friendly and patient.

If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
