Scoot boats are the fastest way to get to Lembongan Island. Go for the morning transfers which are much calmer! Wear shorts you will need to step into the water to get in and out of the boat.
I'm not sure where you are staying but regardless you must make your way to Mushroom Beach. There are lots of good places to eat here. Jo Jo's (the place on the hill with mosquito nets), Bali Hai, Waka Nusa and have a drink and your nails painted near Mushroom Beach Bungalows.
The other MUST do is the Sandy Beach Club. They can offer complimentary pick ups and drop offs. This area is amazing - check out Dream Beach and Devils tears which is near by. Dream Beach Bungalows also offer a cheap day rate to use their pool.
Getting around Nusa Dua is an interesting experience. Some people hire motor bikes or bicycles but the tracks are not very safe. Walking from Mushroom Beach to Dream Beach was a lot of fun for us. We also hired an open air truck via our hotel for the afternoon to take us to the mangroves, the underground house, the suspension bridge etc. The truck is very bumpy but I have seen other families cope just fine.
You could go on a boat ride to see the mangroves. There is an interesting restaurant with a floating pontoon near the mangroves. And of course there are the snorkelling tours.
Lembongan is a fun adventure indeed. Everything is easy going and basic here just as a tropical island should be.
