Avoid Taxi Scams at Padang Bay Harbour

A well-known issue at Padang Bai is the local “taxi mafia.” These drivers control transportation around the harbour, blocking ride-sharing apps and charging high prices for short rides. The best way to avoid this is to:

  • Pre-book your boat ticket with transfers included
  • Walk a short distance away from the harbour to call Grab or Go-Jek
  • Ignore the pushy drivers at the exit gates

By booking with us, you can also add convenient hotel pickups to your package, making your trip easier from start to finish.

“Tip: Book your fast boat tickets in advance to avoid scams and save money—local shops often charge more and add hidden fees.”
