About The Tanis Fast Cruise
While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.
Ferry trips offered by The Tanis Fast Cruise can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

The Tanis Fast Cruise Ferry Types & Tickets Prices
High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.
Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons
Pros of Ferry Travel
- Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
- Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
- On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
- Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!
Cons of Ferry Travel
- The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
- Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

Holly BUnfortunately we were put on a cheaper boat, not the one we paid extra money for. Pretty disappointed, but hopefully we will get a discount for the fare difference. The boat we ended up on was very run down.

Maria PWe travelled from Sanur to Nusa Penida and had a stop at Nusa Lemborgan. We had to stay in the boat until the other guests with a smaller boat to the coast arrive- the smaller boat had to drive 3times until everyone was at the coast. We waited 1 hour in a shaky boat so I got see sick .. that was unpleasant …

jeanmarc LThe crew was playing extremely loud music, drinking wishkey and beer, most of them were drunk. It was probably to entertain the passengers but It didnt feel safe at all, in case of something happen, I will not trust the crew. Also the departure harbour was nos the same as the arrival, creating extra cost for the transportation.

Aiden BUnfortunately the air conditioning was not working. There were no fans and the windows did not open. The heat was unbearable. No water was offered. This was a four and a half hour ferry ride. After several hours, we walked back and saw that the air conditioning at the rear of the boat was working, so we moved back there. Our first trip though was great when the air conditioning was working.

Chris WQuite quick, relatively comfortable most of the time and generally hassle free. But similar to budget airlines, they try to cram too many people into too small a space. No onboard facilities, drinks etc and the ONE toilet for 120 passengers was a disgrace.
Staff friendly and helpful and access to and from the boat quite easy.

Rui LThey put our luggage on top of the boat. During the journey, the seawater soaked all our luggage, rendering our clothes unwearable. The staff didn't inform us beforehand. If you choose to take this type of boat, you need to put a plastic bag or something similar over your luggage. Friendly reminder.

Gisella GI must say that at the Sanur port, the Tanis company I booked with you was very kind. My ticket was for the 9:00 departure, but since I wasn't able to take the fast boat, they changed my ticket and put me on the boat that left at 12:00 without charging me anything. They were very kind, so excellent service. The trip was a bit hectic due to the very rough seas.

Maria ZI ordered a boat at 9:50. Right before 22 in the evening I get a WhatsApp message from the operator that they changed schedule to 9:00 and that I had to be there at least 1 hour before departure to check in. I went to bed before 22 but thankfully I put the alarm on early. When I stressfully reached the check in place before 8 nobody was there 😂 I had to wait 35 minutes to check in. The boat departured 09:20. the ride was super uncomfortable. Never again.

Maria FEverything went very well! The driver arrived on time at the Coco supermarket (10:00 am). The driving and service were excellent. Upon arriving at Sanur port, the driver got out to collect our credentials and ferry tickets and gave them to each passenger. He then dropped us off at the boarding area, where the ferry staff collected our luggage. We had to wait there for over an hour until the ferry departed (12:00 pm). The boarding process was smooth, and the crossing to Nusa Penida was very pleasant, as the sea was calm. We arrived at Banjar Nyuh port exactly 45 minutes later. Disembarkation was quick, with immediate delivery of our luggage. The only thing I didn't like was that the boat was very old, worn, and dirty.

Philip MDeducted one star for the strong smell of petrol in the cabin and for being 75 minutes late arriving. On the plus side, the boat was comfortable, coped well with the waves and the aircon worked. The staff were organised and friendly. Transfer to hotel was easy with good communication using WhatsApp regarding pickup and the delay.
