About Padang Bai Harbor
Padang Bai is Bali's most versatile port, serving as the main terminal for car ferries to Lombok and fast boats to Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands. This charming fishing village on Bali's east coast has developed into a busy transport hub while maintaining its authentic Balinese character.
The harbor is surrounded by excellent dive sites and hidden beaches, making it worth more than just a transit stop.

Padang Bai is located in Karangasem Regency on Bali's eastern coast:
- From Denpasar/Airport: 1.5-2 hours via the bypass
- From Ubud: 1-1.5 hours eastward
- From Sanur: 1 hour via coastal road
- From Candidasa: 15-20 minutes
Destinations from Padang Bai

Tips for Travelers

Before you travel: Padang Bai Harbor
Check-in
- Eka Jaya opens check-in one hour before departure and closes it 30 minutes before; late passengers are not boarded or refunded.
Boarding
- Eka Jaya, Wahana and BlueWater each allow two bags per passenger, up to 25 kg in total.
Getting there
- Fast boats leave from Padang Bai’s public boat dock, not from the car-ferry terminal for Lembar.
- The drive from Ubud takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. BlueWater suggests Padang Bai if you are staying in central Bali and warns that roads get busy.
- Grab and Gojek can drop you at the port, but app pick-ups there are obstructed; travellers usually walk 5 to 10 minutes away before booking a ride.
Good to know
- Touts around the harbour sell boat tickets at inflated prices, so buy from the operator’s counter or in advance. If an unofficial porter offers to carry your bags, agree the price first.
