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.
Sanur to Lembongan
Sanur is the usual port for Nusa Lembongan: it's about 25 minutes from Kuta and 45 minutes to an hour from Ubud, and boats run through the day.
Lembongan is joined to Nusa Ceningan by a footbridge, and Nusa Penida is a short boat ride away, so it makes a good base for all three islands.
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.

Possibly. Many boats land on Lembongan's beach rather than at a pier, so you may step off into shallow water. Wear sandals and keep valuables in a bag you can lift.

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.
