Sanur to Nusa Penida Fast Boat and Ferry Tickets

Nusa Penida from Sanur Ferry Tickets and Times in 2021

It seems like a jungle of information is on the web explaining how to get from Sanur to Nusa Penida and after searching through the jungle I still couldn’t find my answer. So I did the route myself, so here is my how to get from Bali to Nusa Penida travel guide.

The best way to get from Bali to Nusa Penida is by speedboat. On a Half-Day Tour, you will get a chance to spend time on one of the most famous beaches in Bali – Dreamland Beach (you won’t be able to see all of this amazing beach because there are often lots of other groups who make reservations in advance). Then, the night before the Full Day Tour, we will take you and your party out on a caving tour on Gili Tepekong for some really cool spelunking!

Also, check out the Nusa Penida hotels here for some wanderlust inspiration!

I travelled from Denpasar to Nusa Penida to visit Kelingking Beach and the other awesome places on Nusa Penida.

The ferry ticket price from Sanur to Nusa Penida is 400,000 Indonesian Rupiah ($27). However, you can get the price for lower if you want to barter on the price.

If you’re wondering where to get a ticket for the ferry, there are Bali excursion stands dotted all over, approach the bored-looking guy behind the stand and tell him you want to travel to Nusa Penida. He will tell you different costs, but you just need to barter down on the price! We booked our boat ticked the night before, and just made our way to the pier in the morning.

Okay that’s your ticket but that only gets you to the North island Lembongan, you need the third Island Nusa Penida.
