Untuk menyeberang ke Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, maupun Gili, hampir semua fast boat berangkat dari tiga pelabuhan: Sanur, Serangan, dan Padangbai. Cara paling nyaman menuju ketiganya adalah transfer privat Toyota Alphard dengan sopir — Anda dijemput di lobi hotel atau vila, bagasi ditangani sopir, lalu diturunkan tepat di titik drop terdekat dari counter check-in fast boat. Per 2026, layanan transfer pelabuhan Sanur dengan Alphard kami melayani penjemputan dari seluruh Bali Selatan hingga Ubud, termasuk penjemputan balik saat Anda kembali dari pulau.
Pelabuhan Mana yang Tepat untuk Tujuan Pulau Anda?
Pilih pelabuhan berdasarkan pulau tujuan, bukan sekadar jarak dari hotel. Tabel berikut merangkum rute penyeberangan paling umum per 2026:
| Pelabuhan | Tujuan Utama | Estimasi Fast Boat | Titik Drop Alphard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanur (Matahari Terbit) | Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan | 30–45 menit | Depan gedung terminal, jalan kaki singkat ke check-in |
| Serangan | Nusa Lembongan, Gili, Lombok | 30 menit – 3,5 jam | Area parkir dekat counter operator boat |
| Padangbai (Karangasem) | Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Lombok | 1,5–2 jam | Gerbang pelabuhan, dilanjutkan porter ke dermaga |
Untuk Nusa Penida dan Lembongan, Pelabuhan Sanur adalah pilihan utama — terminal barunya rapi dan proses check-in cepat. Jika hotel Anda di kawasan Sanur atau Denpasar, halaman sewa Alphard Sanur kami membahas rute dan area penjemputan di kawasan ini lebih detail.
Jam Berapa Ideal Berangkat dari Hotel dengan Alphard?
Fast boat pertama umumnya berangkat antara pukul 07.30–09.00, dan operator meminta penumpang tiba 45–60 menit sebelum jadwal untuk check-in. Dari situ, hitung mundur waktu tempuh pagi hari:
- Sanur/Denpasar → Pelabuhan Sanur: 15–25 menit; berangkat maksimal 1 jam 15 menit sebelum jadwal boat.
- Kuta/Legian/Seminyak → Sanur atau Serangan: 30–50 menit; amannya berangkat pukul 06.30 untuk boat pukul 08.00.
- Canggu/Ubud → Sanur: 60–75 menit; berangkat sebelum pukul 06.30 agar tidak terjebak arus pagi.
- Bali Selatan → Padangbai: 1,5–2 jam; rute Alphard ke Pelabuhan Padangbai sebaiknya dimulai pukul 05.30–06.00 untuk boat pagi ke Gili.
Keunggulan memakai Alphard dengan sopir untuk rute ini: sopir kami memantau jadwal boat Anda, menyesuaikan jam jemput bila jadwal berubah, dan bisa standby untuk penjemputan balik di hari kepulangan — tanpa Anda perlu mencari transport lagi di pelabuhan.
Berapa Biaya Transfer Alphard ke Pelabuhan per 2026?
Sebagai gambaran per 2026, biaya transfer sekali jalan (Alphard + sopir + BBM) berkisar:
- Sanur/Denpasar → Pelabuhan Sanur atau Serangan: mulai sekitar Rp400.000
- Kuta/Seminyak/Nusa Dua/Jimbaran → Sanur/Serangan: sekitar Rp500.000–Rp700.000
- Canggu/Ubud → Sanur: sekitar Rp600.000–Rp800.000
- Bali Selatan/Ubud → Padangbai: sekitar Rp900.000–Rp1.200.000
Angka di atas indikatif — harga final tergantung titik jemput, jam berangkat, unit yang tersedia, dan apakah Anda mengambil paket antar-jemput pulang-pergi (biasanya lebih hemat daripada dua kali sekali jalan). Struktur tarif lengkap bisa dilihat di halaman harga sewa Alphard Bali.
