Ferry from Bali to Indonesia

About Bali

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.

About Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s 4th most populous country situated in Southeast Asia, comprising over 17,000 islands stretched along the equator, of which only 8,000 are inhabited. As you would expect from the largest archipelago on the planet, Indonesia has an incredibly diverse landscape and culture, with over 300 languages spoken, the world’s 2nd largest tropical forest, 130 active volcanoes and 1,000’s of spectacular temples spread across the islands. Most tourists flock to Bali, the hub for luxury resorts, stunning beaches and excellent surf breaks. The capital, Jakarta has great shopping spots and the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, whilst the Gili Islands offer a buzzing nightlife tailored for backpackers. Given the sheer quantity of islands in Indonesia, travelling by ferry is the best way to get around. It has an extensive ferry network offering domestic routes to and from some of the most popular destinations in the country, as well as international crossings to Singapore, which are all operated by a wide selection of ferry companies.
