Fast boat from Bali to Gili islands

What To Expect

Getting there
By the time scheduled a shuttle bus will be expecting you in front of your hotel or villa in order to take you to Padang Bay Port. A small delay may occur due to other tourists' tardiness, traffic or trouble locating your hotel/villa. Please, do not worry, the driver will definitely pick you up; be sure you're online and can communicate via WhatsApp/Viber. In the unlikely event of the shuttle bus being late for more than 1 hour, please contact us via online chat or a messenger and our manager will coordinate with you.
In the port, you will need to locate the Wahana Gili Ocean company office.

Once checked-in for the trip make sure you keep your ticket in a safe place as you will need it on the way back. The payments are made in cash at the Wahana company office. If you made an advance payment all you need is to check-in for the trip.

A journey to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Lombok takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Return trip
It is time to come back from the paradise islands to Bali. Do not plan your trip back on the day of your departure flight as the time of the boat arrival is subject to sea conditions, that may cause a delay. The boat company is not responsible for you running late for your flight. We recommend you leave the island 2 days prior to your return flight. 

To check-in for a return trip, you refer to the Wahana company office 45 minutes prior to the boat departure (you can find the departure time info on the left side of the ticket, the "departure" section).

Handle your ticket to the staff and they will check you in for the trip.
If you booked a ride back to your hotel/villa, you will be given a transfer coupon with the name of your area on it, keep it safe. Upon arrival, you will have found a Wahana company driver in the parking lot and handle him the coupon. 

Attention:

• unfortunately, because of the competition between the transport companies, the local taxi drivers may try to take your transfer coupon from you and suggest you pay one of them to drive you back. Please do not interact with them as your transfer has already been paid for and all you need is reaching the parking spot of Wahana company;
• a return transfer is always more complicated one to arrange, please be patient and wait till all of the tourists board the bus. The way back may take up to 4-5 hours depending on traffic, boats arrival timing and distance to hotels;
• we do not guarantee a return transfer to your hotel, especially for the areas, where the drop off is possible only at the centre of the area;
• in case of bad weather in the Lombok Strait, in the interest of security the boat company reserves the right to transfer you to the ferry cruising between Gili Island and Bali;
• there are no piers on Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, therefore the boats moor directly on the sandy beach;
• Wahana Gili Ocean boat trips are not recommended for pregnant women and people with heart disease.
