Just a few more things to know:
Transfer to Lembongan is either through balitouring boats - these are large and quick (several Options). they depart from Benoa Harbour and will cost about $39US return each.
Other option is to catch the public boats which depart from either Sanur or Padangbai. they are about 1/4 of the price, but are also 1/4 of the size and depending on the seas could be 4 times as rough.
Make sure you do a drift snorkel along the northern side of the island. A boat will take you there and you just jump in a drift along the shore in about 2-5m of water. When youve had enough just climb back onto the boat. There are no special operators - all the boats know about it and most have snorkelling equipment.
ALso good to hire motorbikes from anyone in the village and ride around the island for a few hours. There are no cars to worry about.
