Departing from
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.
