Review for: Bali (Serangan) · Gili / Lombok · Round trip

The ferry I took from Bali to Gili Trawangan. There are two ports on Bali Island where you can catch the ferry: Serangan and Padang Bai. If you want to minimize travel time, I recommend Padang Bai. It takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes from Serangan to Gili Trawangan via Padang Bai, and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Padang Bai. However, if you want to sit comfortably with your group from the beginning, I recommend Serangan since it's the departure point. Because many people board at Serangan, you may end up squeezing into the remaining seats at Padang Bai. Even on a clear day, the waves were quite strong near Gili, so if you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking seasickness medication 30 minutes before boarding. (They also distribute seasickness medicine on the boat, and it's quite effective.) Overall, I was satisfied with the ride. If you go to Gili Island, I recommend BlueWater Express.

Even though it was a little more expensive than other companies, I did a really good job with Blue Water. Both of them left a little earlier than scheduled and arrived earlier than scheduled. Even returning to Bali from Gili arrived 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. The staff was organized and explained well, and the boat was tidy. Booking through Klook was cheaper than through the official website. The hotel pick-up and drop service was also neat without any problems.

Picked up on time, and all the staff are friendly. It was so good that you guided me in an orderly manner as I expected. Since it is a woman traveling alone, safety is the most important part, and I think it is important that there is no time delay, and I was satisfied with everything. I don't have a big belly, but I fell asleep after taking the motion sickness medicine provided, so I didn't feel any motion sickness or shaking. Thanks to you, I moved comfortably and safely! thank you! I'm willing to use it again if I go to Gili-t next time~~!!

Review for: Gili Trawangan · Bali (Serangan) · One-way

When returning from Gili, I made a reservation and departed for Serangwan, but since I came via a neighboring island instead of directly, I had to take into account that the fare was the same as the return trip, but it would take more time. On the way to Lombok Pier and back, the waves were so strong that I was anxious. In the end, I couldn't make it to Serangan, so I went to Padangbai, got off the ship, and safely arrived at my destination, Sanur, with other passengers in a vehicle prepared in advance. It took an hour longer than expected, but we were able to avoid the waves and return safely.

The best way to reach Gili islands between bali and Gilis. the boat was really clean and comformatable. The office in Gili Air provide water dispenser and seasickness medicine with air condition. When we arrival serangan they also take care our luggage. we just need wait at office for luggage. The only regret thing was I forgot to book my transfortaion from Serangan to hotl. The price was really terribale expensive to call a car there....

Which departure point or route is best for me?

  • South Bali: If you are staying in South Bali, the best option is to depart from or arrive at Serangan Island.
