Hi, I’m Odin, a local from Lombok 🌴.
If you’re staying in Bali and planning to visit Lombok, that’s a fantastic idea! Lombok is just next door, and it’s super easy to reach once you know your options.

Let me share the easiest and most popular ways to travel from Bali to Lombok, along with some local tips to make your trip smooth and stress-free.

1. ⛴️ By Fast Boat (Most Popular for Travelers)

Taking a fast boat from Bali to Lombok is the most common and scenic way to cross the sea. Boats depart daily from Padangbai Harbor, Serangan, or Sanur in Bali, and arrive at Bangsal Harbor,  or the Gili Islands in Lombok.

Travel time: Around 1.5 to 2.5 hours (depending on sea conditions and the route).
Ticket price: Usually between IDR 450,000 – 650,000 per person (one way).

💡 Local tip: Book your fast boat ticket in advance during the high season (June–September). At Lombok Tour Agency, we can help you book trusted and safe boat companies — with hotel pickup and drop-off available!

2. ✈️ By Flight (Fastest Option)

If you prefer comfort and speed, flying is the best option. There are daily direct flights from Bali (Ngurah Rai Airport) to Lombok International Airport (LOP).

Flight time: Only 25–35 minutes ✈️
Ticket price: Around IDR 500,000 – 900,000, depending on the season.

💡 Local tip: Once you land at the airport, you can easily arrange a private car or transfer to your hotel or destination — we can organize that for you too!

3. 🚢 By Public Ferry (Budget-Friendly Option)

If you’re traveling on a budget or bringing a motorbike or car, the public ferry is a good option. Ferries operate 24 hours between Padangbai (Bali) and Lembar (Lombok).

Travel time: Around 4–6 hours
Ticket price: Around IDR 80,000 per person, or extra if bringing a vehicle.

💡 Local tip: The ferry can be slow and sometimes crowded. It’s fine if you’re not in a hurry and don’t want to spend cash for a transfer from Bali to Lombok.

4. 🏝️ Bali → Gili Islands → Lombok Route

If you plan to visit the Gili Islands first, you can take a fast boat from Bali to Gili Trawangan, spend a few days snorkeling or relaxing, and then continue to Lombok by a short local boat ride (only 10–15 minutes).

💡 Local tip: This route is perfect if you love snorkeling, beach bars, and island vibes before exploring mainland Lombok.
