From Wikitravel

Lembar is in South Lombok.

[edit] Understand

Visitors to Lembar are normally there because of the ferry to and from Bali. There's little reason of staying there.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By car

The port of Lembar is 22km south of Mataram.

[edit] By bemo

You can take a bemo from Mataram to Lembar Harbour. The fare should be about Rp 5,000.

[edit] By boat

There are slow public ferries from Padang Bai (Bali) every hour. The trip normally takes four hours (but it can be considerably longer in poor weather) and costs Rp 35,000. This service runs 24 hours a day. It should be understood that this ferry has a poor safety record.

Arriving at Lembar Harbour do not let a porter take your bags unless you have negotiated absolutely what you will pay.

[edit] Getting from Lembar harbour

If you're arriving in Lembar and need transport, you'll find the Lembar bemo drivers hard bargainers.

• Gili Islands. From Lembar Harbour you can take a shuttle bus service to Bangsal Harbour. Or take a bemo to Pemenang, from where you can walk or ride a cidomo (horse cart) to Bangsal Harbour. From Bangsal take the public ferry.

• Mataram. You can take a bemo from Lembar Harbour to Mataram. The fare should be about Rp 5,000 to the Ampenan-Mataram-Cakranegara-Sweta area, but you'll do well to bargain them down to anything respectable. This is one good reason to book through to Mataram or Senggigi with Perama or another tourist shuttle company. Alternatively, metered taxis are available at the terminal or just outside the gates all day and all night. Typical fares are Rp 25,000 to Cakranegara, Rp 40,000–45,000 to Sengiggi.

• Kuta. From Lembar Harbour the price to Kuta must be negotiated in advance, or you may insist the taxi driver uses a meter. Competition is fierce and porters will often place your luggage in a taxi prior to settling the price. Assertive behavior can insure you choose the taxi and the price that suits your needs.The taxi fare from Lembar to Kuta should be around Rp 200,000. Perama buses will also run this route if there are enough passengers booked beforehand.

[edit] Get out

Lembar is essentially a point of transport and little else—virtually all travellers arrive at Lembar and immediately carry on to their true destination. So, leaving is part of arriving.
