Departing from
Kusamba
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.
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.
Boarding
- At The Angkal’s terminal a jetty leads straight to the boat, so you board dry.
Getting there
- Kusamba has three separate fast-boat terminals: Tribuana, Banjar Bias and The Angkal’s own terminal in Kampung Kusamba. Gangga Express leaves from Tribuana and The Angkal from its own terminal; both sail to Sampalan on Nusa Penida in about 30 minutes. Check which terminal your ticket names.
- Kusamba is on Bali’s east coast near Padang Bai, a handy alternative to Sanur if you are staying in east Bali.
Facilities
- The Angkal’s terminal has a waiting room right on the beach. After high waves flooded it in August 2026, the ticket counter moved to the west side of the site.
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.
