It is well known that Nusa Lembongan is the Gili island of
Bali. Lembongan island is a small island on the south east of Bali near the
bigger island, Nusa Penida Island. It is in Klungkung regency. 
The only way to
get there is by water transportation. Sanur Beach is the nearest point to get
there from Denpasar. Slow boat and fast boat are available to go to Lembongan
island. There are some departure time may suit on your plan. Most of the slow
boats are available earlier than the fast boat. It is at 8 am while the fast
boat first departure time is at 10 am. It needs one and a half to two hours on
the way with slow boat. But it only takes 25 minutes to get there by fast boat.

| mushroom bay |
On my first time going there I took fast boat. It is only
50k one way for local people. It is not the same for ‘bule’ or tourists. They will
be charged three to five times much more. But I guess that’s commonly usual. J The fast boat that I
took charges the foreigner passengers 250k for one way. But you can get cheaper
if you can show your student card and also if you are in a group you’ll get
discount. It will be nice if you have a local friend who asks for special price
for you to the company (it doesn’t always work out).
Well, if you like to experience the wave on the sea on slow
boat, you will get cheaper price for sure. Im not sure how much you (foreigner)
need to pay but it is 25k for local people one way, and I don’t guarantee the
comfort.
You should make sure that your destination is the same as
the boat destination. Some boats are going to different bay in Lembongan.
My trip was going to Mushroom Bay, I took Marlin fast boat
to get there. The ticket stand is in front of Le Mayeur Museum, Sanur. To get
to the beach you just need to go straight till the end of Jl. Hang Tuah.
What to do there? If you wonder what you can do there, don’t
underestimate it.

In a village in Lembongan you can see a hand-made underworld
called gala-gala house. It is kinda underworld house which has the same part of
modern house such as; kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and has more than
on doors. It was built based on the Pandawa-Korawa story in Hindu belief.

You better stay there overnight because one day is not
enough to explore and enjoy the exotics of this beautiful island. One
recommended place to try is staying in Mola-Mola House in Mushroom Bay. You will

and beautiful beach-mountain views. Peaceful is easily gained in this place.
