Travel & Accommodation

​

• What’s the best way to get to Nusa Lembongan? Fly to Denpasar (Bali), take a transfer to Sanur Harbour, and then a ferry to Nusa Lembongan. 

• When should I book my accommodation? As soon as possible! The island is small, and accommodations fill up quickly.

• Should I book travel insurance? Absolutely! Travel insurance is highly recommended to cover unexpected delays, cancellations, or medical needs. In Indonesia, cancellations due to volcanic activity can sometimes occur, so having coverage for such events is essential. If you plan to hire a scooter, make sure your travel insurance includes a scooter/moped add-on to ensure you're covered for any accidents or mishaps.

 

Things to Bring

​

• What type of clothing should I pack? Light, breathable clothing is best for the tropical climate, and don’t forget swimwear, sunscreen, and a hat.

• Do I need cash, or are cards accepted? Bring cash (Indonesian Rupiah) as the limited ATMs on the island sometimes do not work, and some places don’t accept cards. Having cash on hand will ensure you can pay for smaller purchases, transportation, and tips without any issues. Most restaurants and resorts accept card payments. 

 

Health & Safety

​

• Are there any health precautions I should take? We’re visiting during the dry season, so mosquitos shouldn’t be a major issue, but it’s still a good idea to bring repellent just in case. Drink only bottled water (avoid tap water). Reef booties are handy for the surfers! 

• Is it safe in Nusa Lembongan? Nusa Lembongan is incredibly safe, with a welcoming and friendly local community. However, it’s always a good idea to exercise general safety practices - keep an eye on your belongings and avoid leaving valuables unattended.

 

Getting Around

​

• How do I get around the island? Most people use scooters or golf carts, which are easy to rent. If you’re planning to hire a scooter, ensure you have travel insurance coverage that includes scooter rentals. Alternatively, there are plenty of drivers on the island that you can hire, much like a taxi service, for short trips or to explore the area. While some areas are walkable, distances between spots can be a bit far, so a scooter, golf cart, or hired driver is more convenient.

 

Other Tips

​

• What’s the local vibe like? Nusa Lembongan is laid-back and welcoming, with warm, friendly locals. Respect the local customs and traditions to make the most of your visit.

• Are there any cultural customs to keep in mind? Dress modestly when visiting temples, and always ask for permission before taking photos of locals or sacred sites. Outside of the temples, boardies and bikini's are the norm! 

• What’s the Wi-Fi like? Wi-Fi is available at most accommodations, but it may be slower than what you’re used to at home.
