They leave roughly every 2 hrs but we arrived at around 9am had just missed one and had to wait about 4 hours until the ferry actually left. On the way back we just missed one but another one docked around an hour later and then left about 2 hours after that. Then when we were to dock in Padang bai there were 3 ferries already waiting so we had to wait 2 hrs to dock.
But we don't mind the ferry because we take a car from Bali and self drive, so in the end it is not that much hassle just a day out of your holiday for travel.
It is really cheap, 28,000rp per person would be right and it cost us around 470,000 for 4 people and the car.
