How to reach Nusa Lembongan by air
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) near Denpasar is the gateway. Sanur harbour is about 20 to 30 minutes away by taxi, then the fast boat takes about 30 minutes. We did not verify direct flights from Indian cities, so check airlines for current options.
How to reach Nusa Lembongan by train
There is no passenger railway on Bali or the Nusa Islands, so there is no railway station. All travel is by road and boat.
How to reach Nusa Lembongan by road
Take a taxi or arranged transfer from the airport to Sanur harbour at the end of Jalan Matahari Terbit; ride-hailing is not allowed on that street, so walk to the main road. Padang Bai in east Bali also has daily boats.
Getting around Nusa Lembongan
On the island, walk, cycle, rent a scooter or hire a pick-up truck. A small boat links Jungut Batu and Mushroom Bay. The yellow suspension bridge to Nusa Ceningan takes only foot and two-wheeler traffic.
For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Nusa Lembongan
- Book a stay close to the sand or the road so you can avoid long walks, and arrange a pick-up truck for arrival and luggage.
- Stay behind the ropes at Devil's Tear and take care at the unfenced cliff edges on Nusa Ceningan.
- Only small clinics operate near Jungut Batu. For anything serious you return to Bali, so carry travel insurance with evacuation cover and your regular medicines.
- Plan outdoor time before 10 am and after 4 pm; shade is patchy and roads are rough and hilly.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
