Lombo is just a 90-minute boat ride from Bali which can extend if you do not book your water transportation with a reliable transport company. Go along with a reputable and trusted company if you want value for money and safety on a boat. Do not buy your ferry tickets from a street tout who claims to be from a reputable company because the reality is far from it. You should not be charged more than 13000 Rupiah for a public ferry ride from Bali to Lombok Island.<\/p>\n

As you arrive at Bangsal Harbour, you will be bombarded by local vendors and Lombok kids selling day to day stuff and trinkets. Do not buy from these vendors as the prices they offer are extremely exorbitant. If you want sundries and daily-use items, then you will find shops in Lombok and Gilli islands where you can get stuff at a much cheaper rate. Don\u2019t blow your money.<\/p>\n
