⚠️ Travel Tips & Safety Notes
Booking in advance (1–3 days ahead) is generally recommended for busy season; many recommend using platforms like 12go.asia, Gili Getaway, or booking directly online for convenience .
Weather matters: sea conditions greatly affect fast‑boat safety. Reddit users strongly advise checking sea swell forecasts. Even reputable operators cancel or delay if conditions are rough .
Avoid SemayaOne if safety or comfort are priorities: multiple user reports label it overcrowded, delayed, and in some cases hazardous .
Eka Jaya Fast Boat and Blue Water Express are often mentioned as more reliable options—especially for Lombok direct departures from Padang Bai—but they don’t always originate in Nusa Penida. Trips involving transfers from Nusa Penida to Padang Bai + onward might also be arranged if you prefer smoother service

✅ Recommendation Summary
If you seek best balance of price and comfort, Wijaya Buyuk and Idola Express appear to offer better-conditioned boats with AC and smoother experience. Starfish sits in the middle tier.
If you're budget-sensitive, SemayaOne or Wanderlust cost slightly less but quality and reliability can vary.
