A day trip from Bali to Lombok by ferry is not ideal due to long travel times. The public ferry from Padang Bai to Lembar takes 4–5 hours each way, making a same-day return impractical. Fast boats (1.5–2.5 hours) are quicker but can be affected by sea conditions. A 40-minute flight is the best option for a day trip, allowing more time to explore Lombok’s beaches, waterfalls, and Gili Islands before returning in the evening.
Yes, visiting Lombok from Bali is worth it if you enjoy quieter beaches, stunning nature, and a less touristy vibe. Lombok offers pristine beaches (Tanjung Aan, Selong Belanak), waterfalls (Tiu Kelep, Sendang Gile), and Mount Rinjani for trekking. The Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno) are also a major draw for snorkelling and diving. A fast boat (1.5–2.5 hours) or 40-minute flight makes the trip convenient. If you have at least 2–3 days, it’s a great escape from Bali’s crowds, though a day trip is rushed due to travel time.
Although it's faster to travel to Lombok by plane, you can transport luggage much easier on a fast boat. If you are surfing in Lombok, you can bring your surfboard and kayak on many ferries if you notify the operator in advance.

Bali nestles between Java to the west and Lombok to the east in the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. A small island with an estimated 10,000 temples and a vibrant arts culture, Bali has much more to offer than just picturesque beaches and excellent surf. Aside from its natural beauty, the happy-go-lucky Balinese way of life makes it hard to leave, too. Kuta in the south boasts a superb nightlife, Ubud is characterised by stunning rice fields, while the heart of the island is dominated by dramatic volcanoes and hillside temples and shrines, so there’s plenty to see on this incredible island. Travelling by ferry is a convenient way to explore Indonesia’s beautiful islands and Bali is a great departure point for doing so, with a few ports on along the east coast offering frequent routes to the nearby island of Lombok and to the Gili Islands.
Lombok is an Indonesian island situated between Bali to the west and West Nusa Tenggara to the east. Although often overlooked due to the popular island next door, Lombok’s exquisite beaches, fascinating landmarks, including the country’s second highest mountain, and top quality surf easily rival those found in Bali. Also, with less commercially developed tourist areas, it offers a far more peaceful experience, too. The Gili Islands lying just off Lombok’s northwest coast are a must visit. They have a uniquely laid-back atmosphere and a vibrant nightlife, with lovely beaches and fantastic snorkelling spots as well. Travelling by ferry is the most convenient way to explore the islands in the Indonesian archipelago. From Lombok’s west coast, there are numerous routes across the Lombok Strait to Bali.
