Can you take your own scooter on the ferry to Nusa Penida?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago
TL;DR
Yes, but only the vehicle ferry (LCT-type) from Sanur takes motorbikes — regular fast boats/speedboats are passenger-only. Bringing a bike costs roughly 150,000-200,000 IDR extra, and the crossing takes 1.5-2 hours.
What the community said
Only the large vehicle ferry (LCT-type) departing from Sanur harbor (Segara Ayu area) can carry motorbikes — regular fast boats don't accept them.

Regular speedboats from Sanur to Nusa Penida take 30-45 minutes and cost around 200,000 IDR per person, but they're passenger-only — no room for bikes.

Many travelers suggest skipping the hassle of the vehicle ferry and just renting a scooter locally on Nusa Penida instead — it's cheaper and simpler.

The vehicle ferry with bikes runs infrequently — usually just 1-2 departures per day, so it's best to check the schedule directly at Sanur harbor in the morning.

The vehicle ferry crossing takes about 1.5-2 hours, and space for bikes is limited, so it's recommended to book through a local agent in Sanur in advance.
