pelabuhan harbour

Where the boats land on Nusa Penida

The boats from Sanur cross the Badung Strait to the north-west coast of Nusa Penida. Maruti Express states it sails directly to a private port on the island (Maruti Private Port, Banjar Nyuh II, Toyapakeh). Starfish Fast Cruise describes Banjar Nyuh Harbour, in Ped village, as a jetty for boarding. The Angkal booking site lists its Sanur boats to Banjar Nyuh, and D'Camel, Einstein and Eka Jaya name Banjar Nyuh as their Nusa Penida port.

Semaya One is the exception on the board: its 12:30 boat from Sanur calls at Banjar Nyuh and at Buyuk Harbour, further east. Scoot Fast Cruises describes itself as a beach-to-beach carrier, so expect to step off into the shallows. Where an operator names no port, ask before you book.

The public car ferry from Padang Bai lands at Mentigi Port, and the Kusamba boats run to Sampalan; both are set out further down. The where to stay page sorts the island's areas by harbour.

harga price

Fares, luggage and refunds, operator by operator

Most Sanur operators list an adult one-way fare of IDR 200,000 (about AUD 16, USD 11 or GBP 8.3): Maruti Express, Wijaya Buyuk, Sanjaya and Ocean Speed among them. El Rey Fast Cruise lists IDR 300,000 one way with a Bali hotel transfer included, and Scoot IDR 400,000. The refund rules matter more than the fare gap: they run from a full refund up to the day before (The Tanis Fast Cruise) to nothing within three days (Golden Queen).

Fast boat tickets to book online

The partner listings below sell Sanur to Nusa Penida tickets with the partner's own listed price and read date. Their prices sit below the operators' own fares above because each shows a "from" price: the cheapest option and date on the day it was read, often without saying whether it is one way, which boat it is or whether a transfer is in. The Klook ticket shows no basis at all. Open the listing, pick your date and direction, and compare that figure with the operator's own one-way fare of IDR 200,000. The day trip page has the tours that include the boat.

retribusi levy

Check-in, vouchers and the island levy

Allow for check-in when you pick a boat. Maruti Express gives its check-in window as 90 / 30 minutes before departure, opening first and closing second, and states that Sanur passengers first swap the voucher at its office before entering the harbour. Golden Queen gives 60 / 30 minutes before departure, in the same order, and states the closing time strictly.

The boat fare does not cover the island levy: Maruti Express states the levy is not included in the fare. Klungkung Regency's tourism office sets the Nusa Penida Tourism Levy at IDR 25,000 per foreign adult (about AUD 2, USD 1.4 or GBP 1) and IDR 15,000 per child (about AUD 1.2, USD 0.8 or GBP 0.6), paid once on entering the Nusa Penida area. Since 21 February 2026 the ticket is bought online at easybook.com. The levy poster the regency published with Easybook for that start, under its Regulation No. 8 of 2023, states one ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan; the regency's Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists Nusa Lembongan-Ceningan as a levy area of its own, separate from Nusa Penida. The tourist tax page adds it up for a group, with the Bali levy.

ombak waves

Waves in the Badung Strait, month by month

The bars give the share of days with waves above the lower edge of the band the Indonesian weather agency BMKG calls moderate, in the strait between Sanur and Nusa Penida, over 4 years. They run highest from May to October and lowest in November. Days with waves in BMKG's high band stay rare: 4% of days in August, 0% in January.

A rough month is not a cancelled day. BMKG forecasts the strait as sea area P.P.02 Selat Badung, issued by Balai Besar MKG Wilayah III (Jl. Raya Tuban, Badung), 3 days ahead. Under Transport Ministry Regulation PM 28 of 2022 the harbour master may refuse or postpone a sailing on weather grounds. In June 2025 the Benoa harbour authority was reported to withhold sailing approval for Sanur fast boats in bad weather, using BMKG forecasts.

Several Sanur operators reserve the right to cancel on the harbour master's direction; Semaya One states its weather cancellations come mainly from January to March. The weather page adds rain and heat by month.

What the travel advisories say about boats

Smartraveller (Australian Government, updated 21 October 2026) states that boat and ferry operators in Indonesia may not comply with international safety and maintenance standards, and some may be unlicensed, especially those not operating from main ports or terminals. It states it is unlikely boat crews will have life jackets for children, advises bringing them and always wearing one, and advises avoiding travel by water after dark, during storms or in rough weather.

The UK Foreign Office (updated 18 September 2026) states boat travel in Indonesia can be dangerous because sea conditions can change rapidly, safety standards vary and vessels can be overloaded. It advises checking for life jackets and lifeboats before a trip, and avoiding boat travel after dark unless you are satisfied the vessel is suitably equipped. The last listed boats back leave Nusa Penida at 17:00.

Scoot states its passenger insurance covers passengers aged 4 to 70 years and advises older passengers to take their own. The safety page has the advisories in full.

Other ways across: Padang Bai, Kusamba and Serangan

Sanur has the most boats, but not the only ones. ASDP's public car ferry sails from Padang Bai daily (departures 10:00, 14:00), and the crossing takes 1 hour, as ASDP states. It is the way across with a scooter or a car:

Gili Getaway lists Serangan to Nusa Penida at 8:00, arriving at 9:00, from IDR 300,000 (about AUD 24, USD 16 or GBP 12). The Angkal booking site lists Kusamba to Sampalan boats from 6:30 to 17:00. The Bali to Nusa Penida page weighs each route door to door, and the Sanur to Nusa Lembongan page covers the boats to the smaller islands.

pertanyaan questions

Fast boat questions

How long is the fast boat from Sanur to Nusa Penida?

The crossing takes 30 to 45 minutes, the range the 8 operators that print a crossing time give on their own pages; the board lists more operators, because not every timetable states one. Allow for check-in as well: Maruti Express gives its check-in window as 90 / 30 minutes before departure, opening first and closing second. Listed departures from Sanur run from 7:00 to 17:00.

Which fast boat to Nusa Penida is best?

The one whose port, times and refund rule fit your day. Pick the island port first: the operators that name one land at Banjar Nyuh, and Semaya One also at Buyuk Harbour. Then pick a time from the board, and compare refund rules, which run from a full refund up to the day before to nothing within three days.

How much is a fast boat ticket to Nusa Penida?

Most Sanur operators list an adult one-way fare of IDR 200,000 (about AUD 16, USD 11 or GBP 8.3); El Rey lists IDR 300,000 with a Bali hotel transfer, and Maruti Express lists a return at IDR 400,000. The island levy of IDR 25,000 per foreign adult comes on top.

Do the fast boats run in bad weather?

Not always. The harbour master may refuse or postpone a sailing on weather grounds, and several Sanur operators reserve the right to cancel on the harbour master's direction. Semaya One states its weather cancellations come mainly from January to March. Golden Queen advises a buffer of 24 hours before a flight.

Do I pay a levy when I arrive on Nusa Penida?

Yes, if you are a foreign visitor. Klungkung Regency sets the Nusa Penida Tourism Levy at IDR 25,000 per adult and IDR 15,000 per child, paid once on entry and bought online at easybook.com. Maruti Express states it is not included in the boat fare. Klungkung Regency's levy poster for the e-ticket start on 21 February 2026 says one ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan; its 2026 regulation lists Lembongan-Ceningan as a levy area of its own.
