Indonesia as an archipelago with a tropical climate offers a variety of natural and cultural diversity. Bali is one of the small islands in the Republic of Indonesia. Bali Island has an area of 5780 km, and has beautiful natural scenery, both mountain views, beach views, and underwater nature which are reasons for visitors to come on vacation.
Tourists who want to come for vacation to Bali Island, usually enter through Ngurah Rai Denpasar Airport, the only airport on Bali Island that serves commercial flights for domestic and international. Besides entering through Ngurah Rai Denpasar Airport, visitors can also enter Bali Island via existing seaports such as Gilimanuk Port located in the western part of Bali Island which connects to Java Island, Padangbai Port in the eastern part of Bali Island which connects to Lombok Island, Nusa Penida Island and the Gili Islands in Lombok such as Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air.
In the southern part of Bali Island, there is Benoa Port which connects Bali Island with several islands in eastern Indonesia by ferry, and Sanur Port which serves fast boats connecting Bali Island with Nusa Penida Island, and Nusa Lembongan Island. In addition to these ports, there is also a small port called Serangan Port, located approximately 12 km east of Ngurah Rai Denpasar Airport.
In the past, Serangan was a small island separate from Bali Island. However, in the 1990s, Serangan Island was reclaimed and is now united with Bali Island which is connected by a bridge. Serangan belongs to South Denpasar District, Denpasar City, approximately 10 km south of the center of Denpasar City. The people of Serangan mostly work as fishermen and the rest work in the tourism sector and others. Serangan has a small port located in the eastern part of Serangan Village which serves fast boats and small fishing boats. Fast boats that dock at Serangan are usually fast boats that serve crossings to Nusa Penida Island, Nusa Lembongan Island, and Gili Trawangan in Lombok.
Visitors who hire a car in Bali and continue their visit to Gili Trawangan Island, Nusa Penida Island can return the rental car at Serangan Port. The car rental officer will wait at Serangan Port according to the agreed time. Conversely, visitors who enter Bali Island through Serangan Port can hire a self-drive car with a handover at this port.
