There are different options for getting from Nusa Penida to Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Ceningan. You can take the speed boat which is the most convenient option, take the traditional public boat and embrace the local experience or have a tailored luxury by hiring a private boat charter.
I’m gonna share with you in detail the speed boat option since it was what I experienced. The speed boat option is the most popular option to get to Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Ceningan from Nusa Penida. The boat ride usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific departure and arrival points.
I was planning to book the speed boat ticket in advance online, but I couldn’t decide what time I am going to Nusa Lembongan. The owner of Innora Resort where I stayed in Nusa Penida told me I can just go to Toya Pakeh Harbour and buy the ticket there.
