Before you travel: Sampalan

Fees

  • Foreign visitors pay a one-off Nusa Penida area levy of Rp 25,000 per adult and Rp 15,000 per child aged 4–13 (Klungkung Regulation 4/2026). Indonesian visitors do not pay this levy.
  • Pay the levy at the harbour ticket counters (cash preferred) or in advance on atixbali.com; online tickets are valid only for the date you choose.

Check-in

  • Gangga Express asks you to be at its counter at least 30 minutes before departure to collect your ticket; Indonesian passengers must show their KTP.

Getting there

  • Boats to Sampalan come from Kusamba on Bali: The Angkal, whose Nusa Penida office is in the port building, and Gangga Express both sail here, and the crossing takes about 30 minutes. Most boats from Sanur land at Banjar Nyuh instead.

Getting around

  • Drivers and scooter rentals are on offer at the harbour and in Sampalan, which also has ATMs. Still bring enough cash: many warungs and scooter rentals do not take cards.

Facilities

  • Sampalan is a government port with a terminal building and waiting area, opened in November 2022. In July 2024 the port head said its turning basin is too narrow for large fast boats, so only smaller boats use it.

Good to know

  • High seas close crossings at times: in August 2026 waves of about 2.5 m shut the Kusamba crossing for part of a morning.

Plan your departure from Sampalan

Check the live sailing and operator instructions for your travel date before going to the harbor. Departure counters, boarding points and check-in windows can differ by operator even when boats leave from the same terminal.

Allow time for ticket validation, baggage handling and boarding. Weather, tides and port authority instructions can change sailing times, so use the current schedule rather than relying on an old screenshot or a static timetable.
