Question

Answer 1

What is the reason for you to complicate things up by taking ferry to Bali from Jakarta? You can simply take flights to Bali - very simple, easy and cheap. The one thing you should always keep in mind is that most (public) sea transportation in Indonesia is horrible!!

Answer 2

The flight from Jakarta to Bali is 1h15 - 1h30. You'll land in Denpassar. No need to take a ferry. If you want to go to one of the smaller inslands e.g. one of the Gili Islands/Nusa Lembongan/etc..., you can always take/hire one of the local boats that navigate between the islands.

There is a fery though from Jakarta to Bali but, from what I have heard and read about, it is horrible and the kamar kecil (toilets) are dirty. Plus, the sea can be very rough at certain times of the year.

Rough sea >>>upset stomach >>> toilets?!?!? Some people have been heard to say that this trip was h**l...on a rough sea.

If you like a new experience, go for it.:-))

Have a nice trip.

Answer 5

Unless you have a death wish I would advise against taking any ferry in Indo. They are known for being poorly maintained and often have accidents or sink from overloading them.

Answer 6

You can take a ferry NOT from Jakarta but you instead have to take a bus first to Ketapang in Java and then finally a ferry ride to Bali (in Gilimanuk).

You can also take a train fromYogyakarta, Surabaya, or Probolingo to the ferry terminal.

The ferry service is rather frequent (I remember I missed one ferry and did not wait very long for the next trip).

Answer 7

2 days 1 night will come to Bali from Jakarta ship.
