FERRY GILIMANUK
Bali Strait is a stretch of water separating Java and Bali while connecting the Indian Ocean and the Bali Sea. At its narrowest it is 2.4 kilometres wide. The water forms the border between the Indonesian provinces of East Java and Bali. The Bali Strait is shallow. The water forms a connection between the Indian Ocean in the south and the Bali Sea in the north. Crossing the Strait Bali with the ferry from Ketapang to Gilimanuk is a real experience.
For many tourists, crossing the Bali Strait between Java and Bali is the easiest way to reach the "paradise" - the island of the Gods. Some people opt for the more expensive and direct possibility to fly to Bali (mostly from Surabaya or even Jakarta). The ferry gives you a more authentic experience. On the Java side, the departure point is Ketapang. Near the port of Ketapang there is a bus station and train station, which is very convenient. These stations have an extensive range of services to other destinations in Java, such as Probolinggo (Mount Bromo), Yogyakarta, Malang, Bandung and even the capital Jakarta
When arriving in the port of Gilimanuk on Bali Gilimanuk turns out not to be a very spectacular city. Gilimanuk has little to offer tourists. The nearest city of interest is Lovina on the north coast, but most people want to travel south or to the spiritual heart of Bali: Ubud. Or further south, where places like Kuta and Nusa Dua are with the main beaches! There are no trains in Bali, so a bemo (small van) or a private taxi is the only choice. The taxi ride can be very expensive, but you can almost always negotiate the price. Do not forget that there is a time difference between Java and Bali of one hour, but do not forget to enjoy it when you are in Bali!
From the bus station of Gilimanuk there are several buses to all major places on the island, such as Denpasar, Ubud, Sanur, Singaraja, Tabanan etc. The police station is located about 300 meters south of the ferry terminal and a cash machine can be found at about 1 km away. Ojeks and dokars bring you there for little money.
From a travel blog: "During our cruise on the ferry we got into conversation with a father and his son. They live in Bali and had been on holiday to Jakarta. He has given us some tips on what we could do in Bali.
