Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This source-faithful plan follows the documented four-night, four-day Lombok stay and its departure route to Bali. It is best suited to a budget couple traveling by motorbike. Carry physical identification details needed for ferry booking, keep digital copies of tickets, and download offline maps before leaving Kuta Mandalika. For the Lembar–Padang Bai crossing, online booking through Ferizy requires passenger information, identity-card details, payment through a virtual account, and an email boarding pass; offline agents may be simpler but can cost roughly Rp20,000–Rp30,000 more. Buy water, snacks, and a meal before boarding because onboard sleeping spaces are limited. The source records Rp150,000 for a motorbike ferry ticket, a Rp60,000 meal for two near Lembar, and a Rp20,000 sleeping-mat rental. Ferry schedules and loading order can change, so arrive early and be prepared to wait for the next sailing. Bring a light rain jacket or buy one after arrival in Padang Bai, where drizzle was reported.

What is in this plan

Days 1-4: Southern Lombok departure and the Lembar–Padang Bai crossing

Use this as a flexible four-day Lombok framework, with the final day reserved for the documented departure route. The source specifically places Sade and the nearby Sasak village before the drive to Lembar. Leave Kuta Mandalika early, because the documented travelers aimed for an 11:00–12:00 sailing and still missed one full departure. Allow extra time for ticket checks, motorbike loading, meals, and the four-to-five-hour crossing. Estimated costs are per traveler and include a proportional sha…

  1. Sasak Village SadeSasak Village Sade, Rembitan, Central Lombok, Indonesia

    Visit early, when the village is quieter and visitor numbers are lower. The source highlights Sasak traditions here, including the continuing practice of kawin lari or kawin culik, making this the clearest cultural stop in the route.

  2. Desa Adat Sasak EndeDesa Adat Sasak Ende, Sengkol, Central Lombok, Indonesia

    Stop at the nearby Sasak traditional village identified in the source as Desa ND. Treat it as a short cultural add-on after Sade rather than a separate long excursion, and confirm the exact local spelling with your map before setting out.

  3. Pelabuhan LembarPelabuhan Lembar, Lembar, West Lombok, Indonesia

    Use the direct road toward the harbor after the Sasak village stops. The journey from the Kuta Mandalika area was described as approximately 1 hour and 47 kilometers, although traffic and loading deadlines can extend that time.

  4. Pelindo LembarPelindo Lembar, Lembar, West Lombok, Indonesia

    Complete ferry entry and ticket checks here. Online Ferizy booking was described as straightforward but requires logging in, entering your name and identity-card number, paying by virtual account, and presenting the emailed access details. Arrive inside the stated entry window and do not assume the first sailing will have space.

  5. Lembar Ferry Terminal Waiting AreaLembar Ferry Terminal, Lembar, West Lombok, Indonesia

    Use the passenger waiting area as a proper buffer, not merely a short stop. The documented travelers missed a full sailing despite arriving early and waited for the next departure. The terminal operates around the clock, and the Lembar–Padang Bai route can have numerous sailings, but individual boats may still fill before boarding.

  6. Lembar Ferry Terminal Waiting AreaLembar Ferry Terminal, Lembar, West Lombok, Indonesia

    Board KMP Munic 1 with water, bread, snacks, and any medication you need for motion discomfort already packed. Sleeping places are limited, so board promptly and claim an open space; a sleeping mat was available for about Rp20,000. The vessel has open passenger decks, seating, a canteen, toilets, and vehicle decks, but conditions can become warm and crowded.

  7. KMP Munic 1 Passenger DeckKMP Munic 1 Passenger Deck, Lembar–Padang Bai Ferry Route, Indonesia

    Use the open rear passenger deck for fresh air and views over the water and surrounding hills. The crossing was described as roughly 36 nautical miles or 66 kilometers, taking about four to five hours depending on currents and vessel performance.

  8. Padang Bai HarbourPadang Bai Harbour, Padangbai, Bali, Indonesia

    Disembark at Padang Bai and allow additional time for vehicle unloading; the source describes roughly 30 minutes of waiting while larger vehicles moved out first. If rain begins, use the local market area to look for a rain jacket before continuing.

  9. Padang Bai MarketPasar Padang Bai, Padangbai, Bali, Indonesia

    Use the market as the practical arrival stop mentioned after the ferry. The source specifically records looking for a rain jacket during drizzle and finding one for about Rp12,000, so this is a useful place to handle wet-weather needs before riding onward.
