Reviews
I was worried because of the many bad reviews, but traveling from Gili to Sanur was actually easier and didn't take as long as going there. Although it departed late, it went from Gili to Lombok (Bangsal Beach), stopped at two nearby islands, and then stopped at Nusa Penida for 20 minutes before heading to Sanur. The second floor is more comfortable and the seats are better than the first floor. However, to use the second floor, you have to buy at least one drink or Bintang per person, which I highly recommend! Enjoy a drink or Bintang for 50,000 Rupiah per person and travel comfortably. I had a comfortable trip, and choosing a seat on the second floor was the best decision.
Regarding boat ticket redemption, you need to arrive at the designated location 1 hour in advance to redeem your boat ticket and tag your luggage. You will also need to pay port tax fees. After redeeming your ticket, collect your luggage and follow the staff to the pier to wait for boarding. The boat will first stop at the Gili Islands (Gili T, Gili Meno & Gili Air), and finally at Lombok (Bangsal Port). Staff will attach tags to your luggage for identification.
They take care of everything for you. I recommend buying this instead of getting hassled by touts ^^ It took about an hour and a half from Padang Bai to Gili. If you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medicine beforehand~ It's freezing inside, so bring a long-sleeved shirt. Everyone was shivering, lol.
The ferry ticket pick-up location is clearly marked and conveniently located near the port. After picking up your ticket, a staff member will guide you to the boarding location, making the entire process smooth and easy. Purchasing tickets online is also cheaper.
the boat experience was very good. it was very convenient to get the tickets from the counter and the boat was fully air conditioned with comfortable seats.
Best boat to travel from Lombok Island to Bali. Highly recommend
the whole trip was fine, the company works really well as we had some problems with the weather and company kepts us informed very well. the boat is comfortable and also its the best boat weve seen so far doing the route gili trawangan to padang bai
Despite average rate is 3.5 I think in general this trip exceeded expectations, new boat, new clean chairs, good price.
Took the 1:15 boat from Padang Bai to Lombok. The air conditioning was set just right, making for a pleasant trip. We stopped at Gili T, Gili Meno, and Gili Air before finally disembarking. It departed around 1:20-1:30 PM and I got off around 4:30 PM, so the journey took about 3 hours. The boat was clean, had two restrooms, and plenty of seating, making for a comfortable ride. It was a fast boat, so they helped us on and off at the dock, I almost could have worn sneakers. I was worried because there were a lot of bad reviews, but thankfully my experience was good. The staff were all wearing clean uniforms and spoke English, which was a plus 👍
So glad the return trip is under 5 hours! The ticket booth waiting area is much better than Sarun's, with more tables and chairs, and the freshly brewed coffee from the stalls is delicious! Same type of boat as the outbound trip, comfortable and durable seats.
