Questions
Qualify this activity
How long is the express ferry journey from Sanur to Nusa Penida?+
The express ferry typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on sea conditions. This is significantly faster than the standard ferry service which takes 60-90 minutes. Exact times may vary based on weather and wave conditions.
What time do ferries depart from Sanur?+
Express ferries typically operate with multiple departures throughout the day, usually between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Most services increase frequency during peak tourist season. Check with your operator for the exact schedule, as times can vary by day and season.
Can I book a return ferry ticket or just one-way?+
If you plan to return to Sanur, you'll need to purchase a separate return ticket. It's recommended to book return tickets in advance, especially during high season.
What should I do if I experience motion sickness on the ferry?+
Motion sickness can occur depending on sea conditions. Recommended preventative measures include taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding, choosing a seat in the middle of the ferry where movement is less noticeable, focusing on the horizon, and staying hydrated. The express ferry's speed can sometimes result in choppier motion compared to slower ferries, so be prepared.
Are there facilities onboard the ferry?+
Express ferries have basic facilities including a climate-controlled cabin, restrooms, and a small shop selling drinks and snacks. However, prices are significantly higher than local shops. It's advisable to bring your own water and snacks. Life jackets are available and should be kept near your seat.
