We're a comparison site, not the operator — schedules, boat condition and on-the-day organization are the operator's responsibility, not ours.
Sea conditions right now
Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled. These estimates come from wave-height forecasts at each port. They're a guide, not a promise: the operator and the port authority decide on the day.
Based on published wave-height thresholds for fast boats and ferries in Indonesia. Not a guarantee. Always check with your operator before you travel.
Skipping the mainland
Fast boats run from the Gilis straight to Nusa Lembongan, so you can carry on to the Nusa Islands without a night in Bali.
Some boats call at other islands or ports on the way, which adds to the crossing time, so compare the Arrives column before you choose.
Arriving on Lembongan
Many boats to and from Nusa Lembongan land on the beach rather than at a pier, so you may step off into shallow water. Wear sandals and pack so your bag can be carried.
The times on this page are guides taken from the booking site. Check-in is usually an hour before departure, but go by the time on your ticket.

Can the boat from the Gili Islands to Nusa Lembongan be cancelled?
Yes. Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled, and it happens more often in the wetter months (roughly November to March). The sea-conditions estimate on this page is a guide, not a guarantee: the operator and the port authority make the actual call on the day. Leave a buffer before any onward flight rather than booking one for the same day.
Do I need to book in advance?
In peak season, popular morning departures can sell out a day or two ahead. Off-peak you can often book closer to the day. Booking ahead is the safer choice if you have a flight or a connection to make.
