About Wijaya Buyuk
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 Wijaya Buyuk can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Wijaya Buyuk 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.

lisa LWe got to Gili T, boat was full, no opening windows in cabin but lucky we got a seat in roof, there was only a few, to make the trip bearable. Waves & water splashing over the luggage on the roof which was partially covered. Not a bad trip in all, you get what you pay for 😀

Gonzalo Cboat departed on time and has plenty of seats to chose freely. I travel with a partner and despite we get no designated seats, we were able to stay together the whole trip.
ppl need to read the ticket too, some of the passengers were making questions about why do we need a transfer to another boat to get to nusa lembongan, when it has been explicitly written in the ticket the entire time.

Genevieve HYou had to pay a harbour twx for using the ferry but this was not included in fare andvthere was no prior information about it. Many ticket holders git onto jetty to be turned back to pay this. Ferry was late, chaos on wharf, you were asked to wait in a room for your ferry but all those that came late got first pick at seats. We were crammed into the bottom of the ferry and again some passengers thought their bags deserved a seat over passengers. The trip was otherwise comfortable, the seas claim. Getting off the boat in Panang Bai was difficult, you had to literally push you way out through taxi and other drivers vying fir fares. Some had got onto the boat. Cars packed the small parking areas around the harbour causing gridlock.

Olivier DNot confortable and no space for legs, worst than in a low cost flight. Someone at the shop for the checkin didn't tell us that we have to buy the tax ticket at the harbour, so we lost time when she boat has arrived

Maria CBought tickets from Gili Meno to Sanur and was not told that we should pay an extra fee of 25k rupuiah/pp for a transfer boat that takes you just off the harbour in Meno. Communication was very poor and it wasn't due to language barrier.

Melissa VBoat was comfortable enough, but departure time was listed at 8.45 and direct. We only boarded at 9.15 and made two stops at nearby islands - one stop we sat in the harbour for 30+mins. So the advertised 1.5 hour trip time, was reached before we had even really left… appreciate some things out of their control, but lacking in commincstion to passengers

Noa AOur ferry to Padang Bai was scheduled to depart at 9:20 a.m., but it arrived more than an hour late. We had to wait outside in extremely hot weather, with no clear information or assistance whatsoever.
What made the experience even worse was that, despite the significant delay and the inconvenience caused, the company refused to offer any refund or even the slightest goodwill gesture.
Extremely disappointing service and absolutely no consideration for their customers. I strongly recommend avoiding this company.

Nathan AThe boat was a bit cramped but the service from the staff was great. The boat left on time and disembarking was quick. I would recommend sitting on the deck as it is much more spacious but quickly fills up.

Huw PI mean we got there but that’s about all I can say. It arrived 45 minutes late. No direction how to pay for the tax surcharge on the Gilis islands when leaving to go to nusa Lembongan. It was rammed full with numerous people not having seats and sitting on the stairs. People being sick in the main cabin as the toilets were insufficient/non existent to my knowledge.
No idea what was happening when we arrived to nusa penida, we needed to switch there but this was not communicated at the time, I assumed this when other passengers going to the same place got off. Made to handle bags myself across 2 small speedboats instead of them all mooring up on the pontoon, there was plenty of room! Was not told we would not be arriving on a beach so shoes got wet, had I known I wouldn’t have worn them, you would assume yellow bridge harbour has something. Would not use again.

Luke DBoat handled our luggage and transfer boat to Gili Meno, as well as return trip. Tickets were good at port, no issues there. Boat is nothing fancy. Can get hot, but we grabbed a seat in front of the AC and out of the sun on return trip, which was much better. Boat gets packed, expect every seat to fill. You’ll need to put non suitcase bags in your lap. Would book again due to time of trip and no issues, wish price was lower though.

Janine HOne time, well organized, friendly staff. Boat seats were not that spacious, but A/C worked very well. Despite the info in the booking the boat did not stop in Nusa Penida for over an hour, staff told me this only happens in the morning. It was just a quick 15 minute stop, so passengers could get on/off. Would use them again. Add on: I think the hot room without A/C people were complaining about in other reviews is simply the official waiting area at the port in Sanur and has nothing to do with the company.

Louise DFrom Gili T to Nusa penida, it was ok, even if the waves were very strong. But when you want to go until Nusa Lembogan, you have to change and take an other boat from Nusa penida to Nusa lembogan. This one was terrible and not adapted to transport passengers with luggages. There were no window, so we arrived in Nusa lembogan completely wet (because of the strong waves).
