They have stopped about a year ago from Lembar & don't get conned like we did & arrive up there & have to take a 6 hour trip on an dirty, slow ferry. Get the plane ftrom Denpasar to Mataram 25 miutes at aprox $50.00 NZ & less for Aussies (of course)My wife wanted to take fast ferry because she heard the planes were dodgy. She soon changed her mind after the slow boat trip !!!. Straight to the travel agent in Sengigi to book the flight back to Bali & she would have paid $1000.00. The planes are fine & it's a real quick trip. apparently the Padangbai express stopped because of lack of tourists using the service
