Choose your port
the Gili Islands to Lombok by ferry
2 crossings run this, from 2 different ports. The port you leave from changes the journey more than the operator does, so start there.
Gili Trawangan and Gili Air are served from Bali and from Bangsal on Lombok. There are no cars on either island.
Every crossing
Compare the ports
Times below are what each operator publishes for the sea crossing only. Add the road transfer to the port, which is where the real difference usually sits.

Pick the port that shortens your road transfer, then compare operators on that crossing. A shorter sea leg from a port two hours away is rarely the faster trip.
