Young tourist slams Bali boat ride from hell after passengers vomited on board – as gross footage emerges

A tourist is warning Australians to be careful when travelling to Indonesia after sharing footage of travellers vomiting and passing out during a wild boat ride.

Laura Jaye, 21, could barely keep her head up during the two-hour boat trip from Lombok to Nusia Penida, near Bali, earlier this month.

Ms Jaye uploaded a video on TikTok on August 9 showing people vomiting during the perilous journey.

The clip showed a female tourist sitting at the back of the ship being helped by a crew member.

The traveler was sitting next to several passengers, who had been soaked by the huge waves as the boat tried to navigate the choppy waters.

Mrs. Jaye wrote that some people had fainted, while others were crying.

After just 20 minutes of sailing, for which travelers pay $40, passengers were given dog poop bags and seasickness tablets.

Mrs Jaye said the journey was horrific and described the terrifying moment when she feared for her life.

“It felt like the boat was going to capsize, the waves were crashing over the top of the boat and everyone on the roof was completely soaked,” she said. Yeah.

“There were girls in the front crying and people trying to call their families. It was really traumatic.”

Ms Jaye said one passenger even suffered a panic attack and had to be moved to another part of the boat where movement was restricted.

She alleged that crew members did not communicate effectively with passengers to explain that they would face uncertain conditions during the journey.

“Everyone was very nervous, to say the least,” she said.

Fast boat trips between the two island destinations are a popular way to explore the region’s landscapes.

This area often experiences heavy rainfall and strong winds, which can make boat trips dangerous.

The rainy season in Indonesia usually lasts from October to March, but even after the rainy season there can be severe weather.

Ms Jaye urged tourists to consider not going on a scheduled fast boat trip or to book the boat trip early in the morning if possible.

She explained that the route crosses two opposing ocean currents and that the waves become more intense later in the day.

Last year, dozens of tourists, including some from Australia, ended up in the water after a boat capsized near Nusa Penida.

The Kebo Iwa Express was 25 minutes away from the island to Sanur when a part of the ship started leaking before it sank.

The boat, which was also hit by the high waves, was carrying 34 passengers, all of whom were rescued by fishermen and emergency services.
