Tanis Fastboats — Fast Boat from Sanur to Lembongan, Nusa Penida & Gili Islands
Tanis Fastboats is one of Bali’s most comprehensive fast boat operators, offering daily services from Sanur, Bali to Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Bangsal. With more departure times than most operators on the Sanur fast boat corridor, Tanis Fastboats is the go-to choice for travellers who need flexibility — whether you’re island-hopping across the Nusa islands, heading to the Gili Islands for a diving trip, or simply making a day trip from Bali to Lembongan or Penida.
All Tanis Fastboats services depart from Sanur Harbour on Bali’s eastern coast, the closest and most direct point for fast boat crossings to Bali’s neighbouring islands. Crossing times vary by destination — approximately 45 minutes to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, and around 3–4 hours to the Gili Islands via Lombok Strait. Return services from Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Bangsal back to Sanur are available daily, giving you a full range of options for your return journey regardless of where you’re travelling from.
