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.
Why most people leave from Sanur
Sanur is the easiest port to reach from south and central Bali: about 25 minutes from Kuta, 40 to 50 minutes from Canggu and 45 minutes to an hour from Ubud. That's why it has so many boats to Nusa Penida spread across the day.
With this many departures you can usually pick a time that suits you, so check the Arrives column too: crossing times differ between boats.
Arriving on Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida has several harbours, including Toyapakeh, Buyuk and Sampalan. Which one your boat uses depends on the operator, so check your ticket and plan your onward ride from there.
Penida's roads are steep and rough in places. If you're planning a day trip, an early boat leaves the most time on the island.
Checking in
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.

Leave a buffer before any onward flight rather than booking one for the same day.
