Overview

The Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer is the simplest way to start a trip to Nusa Lembongan: a private car or van, a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals, and a price fixed on WhatsApp before you travel, so there is no airport taxi fare to argue about. Nusa Lembongan is a straightforward drive from Bali Airport. Compared with an airport taxi or public transport, a private airport transfer costs about the same for two people and less for a family, with none of the waiting. Nusa Lembongan is a small island south-east of Bali in the Badung Strait, about 20 km off Sanur and reached by fast boat from Sanur harbour. Nusa Lembongan can only be reached by boat: the car takes you from Bali Airport to Sanur harbour (about 20 km, around 25 minutes), and from there you board the fast boat to Nusa Lembongan. The boat ticket can be added to your booking on WhatsApp, and the pickup is timed to the sailing.

Full Description

Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer: the easiest way to get there

Getting from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Nusa Lembongan is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Bali Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Getting to Nusa Lembongan: by car to Sanur harbour, then by boat

Nusa Lembongan can only be reached by boat: the car takes you from Bali Airport to Sanur harbour (about 20 km, around 25 minutes), and from there you board the fast boat to Nusa Lembongan. The boat ticket can be added to your booking on WhatsApp, and the pickup is timed to the sailing.

No car can drive onto Nusa Lembongan itself, so the transfer ends at Sanur harbour. The driver helps with the bags to the boarding point, and if your flight is delayed the desk rearranges the next sailing with you.

Arriving at Bali Airport (DPS)

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) sits beside Kuta at the narrowest point of Bali; Seminyak is about 10 km, Nusa Dua 12 km, Canggu 20 km and Ubud 35 km away.

A little knowledge of Bali Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan drive begins.

Searches for "DPS to Nusa Lembongan" or "DPS airport transfer" land here for a reason: DPS is the airport code for Bali Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Nusa Lembongan.

Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan at a glance

Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan, door to pier. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Bali Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.

Taxi or private transfer from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan?

An airport taxi from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Nusa Lembongan involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Nusa Lembongan, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Nusa Lembongan: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Bali Airport runs mainly into Bali itself: bali has no rail and the public Trans Metro Dewata buses stop far from most villas; ride-hailing is restricted at the airport, so a pre-booked car with a name board is the normal arrival, and a Sprinter or minivan the choice for a family with surfboards. Reaching Nusa Lembongan from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door to pier car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Nusa Lembongan is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Nusa Lembongan

Nusa Lembongan is a small island south-east of Bali in the Badung Strait, about 20 km off Sanur and reached by fast boat from Sanur harbour. Nusa Lembongan is a laid-back island of seaweed farms, mangroves and white-sand coves, linked by a yellow suspension bridge to neighbouring Nusa Ceningan. Visitors come for snorkelling and diving in clear water – including sites where manta rays gather – surfing at breaks such as Shipwrecks, and relaxed beaches like Dream Beach and Mushroom Bay. Transport on the island is by small trucks, scooters and bicycles. From Bali Airport, the road part of the journey ends at Sanur's harbour, from where boats make the short crossing.

Things to do in Nusa Lembongan

The reasons most visitors come to Nusa Lembongan: Yellow Bridge to Nusa Ceningan, Mangrove forest by boat, Dream Beach and Devil's Tear, Mushroom Bay and Manta ray snorkelling trips. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.

Bali itself is within reach for a day: Nusa Penida day trips, Seminyak and Canggu beach clubs and Jatiluwih terraces - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Nusa Lembongan

Hotels and places to stay in Nusa Lembongan: Jungutbatu beachfront, Mushroom Bay, Sandy Bay and Dream Beach and Nusa Ceningan. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.

Boats land on the beach, so wear shoes you can get wet and keep luggage light; arrange a pickup on the island, as most hotels are a short ride from the landing point.

Meeting your driver at Bali Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Bali Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Bali Airport.

Our vehicles for the Nusa Lembongan transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Bali Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.

Who books the Nusa Lembongan transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door to pier help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

If your trip continues beyond Nusa Lembongan - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Bali Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Nusa Lembongan transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Nusa Lembongan. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Bali Airport

Villa addresses in Canggu, Ubud and Uluwatu are often down narrow lanes - send the villa name and a map pin, and the driver will find the gate.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Bali Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Bali Airport.

Nusa Lembongan to Bali Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Nusa Lembongan to Bali Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Bali Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Nusa Lembongan transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

  • Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
  • Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Where do I meet my driver at Bali Airport?

It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at Bali Airport.

Can the car drive all the way to Nusa Lembongan?

No - Nusa Lembongan can only be reached by boat. The transfer ends at Sanur harbour after about 20 km, around 25 minutes, and from there you take the fast boat to Nusa Lembongan. We add the boat ticket to your booking on request.

How far is Nusa Lembongan from Bali Airport, and how long does the transfer take?

By road it is about 20 km, around 25 minutes from Bali Airport to Sanur harbour; the rest of the way is the fast boat to Nusa Lembongan.

What is Nusa Lembongan like?

Nusa Lembongan is a small island south-east of Bali in the Badung Strait, about 20 km off Sanur and reached by fast boat from Sanur harbour. Nusa Lembongan is a laid-back island of seaweed farms, mangroves and white-sand coves, linked by a yellow suspension bridge to neighbouring Nusa Ceningan. Visitors come for snorkelling and diving in clear water – including sites where manta rays gather – surfing at breaks such as Shipwrecks, and relaxed beaches like Dream Beach and Mushroom Bay. Transport on the island is by small trucks, scooters and bicycles. From Bali Airport, the road part of the journey ends at Sanur's harbour, from where boats make the short crossing.

Where do visitors stay in Nusa Lembongan?

The usual choices: Jungutbatu beachfront, Mushroom Bay, Sandy Bay and Dream Beach and Nusa Ceningan. Our transfer goes to any hotel or address there at the same fixed price for the vehicle - just send the hotel name on WhatsApp.

What is there to do in Nusa Lembongan?

The highlights are Yellow Bridge to Nusa Ceningan, Mangrove forest by boat, Dream Beach and Devil's Tear, Mushroom Bay and Manta ray snorkelling trips. The WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out once you have settled in.

Anything I should know about arriving in Nusa Lembongan?

Boats land on the beach, so wear shoes you can get wet and keep luggage light; arrange a pickup on the island, as most hotels are a short ride from the landing point.

Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan?

Per person, yes for most groups: the transfer is priced for the vehicle, so a couple pays about what a taxi would and a family pays less, with no meter, no night tariff and no surprise at the door. The booking form on this page shows the fixed price for your vehicle; a taxi from Bali Airport can only give you an estimate.

What is the best way to get from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan?

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Nusa Lembongan.

Is there a bus, train or metro from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan?

Bali has no rail and the public Trans Metro Dewata buses stop far from most villas; ride-hailing is restricted at the airport, so a pre-booked car with a name board is the normal arrival, and a Sprinter or minivan the choice for a family with surfboards. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

What happens if my flight to Bali Airport is delayed?

It depends on the option you chose. With flight tracking, the driver is there when you actually land, for delays of up to 5 hours; beyond that, tell us straight away and we try to find a new time, without a guarantee. With a fixed pickup time, the slot is reserved for you and cannot be moved on the day, even if the flight is late.

Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?

Yes. The Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.

Which vehicle will I get for the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer?

You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.

Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?

Private. The vehicle is yours alone from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan, with no other passengers and no extra stops unless you ask for one. That is what makes the fixed price possible.

Can you provide child seats?

Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.

Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?

Yes. The fixed price for the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and up to 60 minutes of waiting after your flight lands (90 at some airports). There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.

Can we stop on the way from Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan?

Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.

How far in advance should I book the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer?

As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.

How do I book the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan transfer?

Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Nusa Lembongan - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at Bali Airport, usually within minutes.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.

Which language does the driver speak?

It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Bali Airport to Nusa Lembongan route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.

Can I book the return trip from Nusa Lembongan to Bali Airport as well?

Yes, and most guests do. Give us the departure flight and the hotel, and the desk sets a pickup time from Nusa Lembongan with enough margin for check-in at Bali Airport. The return is the same fixed-price service, on the same confirmation if you book both together.
