Travel Tips for Bali: Buy Ferry Tickets to Nusa Penida at the Pier or Book on Trip.com for Cheaper Rates!

If you want to take a ferry to islands like Nusa Penida from Bali, avoid buying tickets from local travel agencies. Instead, you can take a Grab to Sanur Harbour and buy the tickets yourself, or book them on Trip.com and exchange them at the pier. Local travel agencies charge higher prices and offer poor service. Booking through Trip.com can even include hotel pickup. If you don't need hotel pickup, going to the pier yourself or buying tickets directly at the pier is even cheaper. Navigate to Sanur Harbour Pelabuhan SANUR, which is the pier. Choose a company and buy tickets or exchange the QR code from Trip.com for a ticket. You'll receive a ferry pass with different colors to distinguish the ferry companies. Remember to bring it with you; the staff can recognize which ferry you're on at a glance. Large luggage can be checked in for free at the pier. After checking in your luggage, scan the QR code at the entrance to the waiting area on the second floor and board the ferry. This method is generally about 20% cheaper than booking through local travel agencies. A very cost-effective travel tip.
