Best Time to Visit

Dry season (roughly April to October) for calmer seas, clearer skies and better snorkeling conditions.

Weather Conditions

Tropical climate: warm and humid year-round with a wetter season (November–March) that brings short heavy showers and choppier seas.

Entry Fees & Permits

The bridge itself is free to access and is open 24 hours. Nearby attractions and private venues (restaurants, viewpoints) may charge small fees or have opening hours.

Accessibility

Reachable by boat from Bali (Sanur is the main departure point) to Nusa Lembongan (fast boats typically 30–45 minutes). From Nusa Lembongan, the Yellow Bridge is a short motorbike or walk away. The nearest major airport is Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar), followed by a transfer to Sanur. Note: the bridge is narrow and uneven in places; accessibility for wheelchairs and large vehicles is limited.

Recommended Duration

Half a day to a full day to cross the bridge, explore both islands' viewpoints, and do some snorkeling; an overnight stay lets you experience sunset and quieter early mornings.

Clothing & Gear Tips

Light, breathable clothing, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), comfortable shoes or sandals, a light rain jacket during the wet season, and a secure bag for cameras/phones. If snorkeling, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel.

Local Food & Souvenirs

Try fresh grilled fish, seafood platters, and local seaweed-based dishes. Souvenirs include handwoven sarongs, local crafts, small shell or coral-based items (ensure they are ethically sourced), and locally produced snacks.
