How long is the crossing to Lembongan?

On a fast private boat it usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes from Benoa or Serangan; slower motor yachts take longer. Morning departures are common for the smoothest ride, and weather can mean rescheduling.

Can we do Mushroom Bay and Devil’s Tear in one trip?

Yes. Snorkel the sheltered water off Mushroom Bay, then tour to Devil’s Tear for its blowhole and cliff views. You control the schedule, so each stop is timed around light and sea conditions.

Is the sea calm enough for a sunset dinner?

Lembongan’s bays are among the calmer Nusa options, which suits an onboard dinner. Comfort still depends on the day, so trips may be rescheduled. A catamaran for around 14 guests adds stability for a seated dinner.

How many guests can join?

Occasion charters keep groups under about 20 guests. Entry boats suit two to a handful; mid-size motor yachts and catamarans (around 14 guests) handle larger family days. Share your headcount and we match the vessel.

Can you set up a proposal or birthday on board?

Yes. Styling, premium catering, a cake and photography or drone footage are arranged as add-ons, quoted per occasion and prepared before you board.

Why Lembongan is the calmer run

The bays sit closer to Bali than Nusa Penida’s exposed manta sites, and Mushroom Bay gives flat, protected water for swimming and a celebration.

A shared Lembongan tour packs 20 to 40 passengers onto a fixed loop. A private buyout gives you the vessel, the timing and the guest list.

Crossing: About 30–45 minutes on a fast boat
Stops: Mushroom Bay, Devil’s Tear
