Eka Jaya's own schedule now lists three daily Gili Trawangan to Padang Bai sailings: check-in 09:00/departing 10:00/arriving 12:00, check-in 10:00/departing 11:00/arriving 12:30, and check-in 14:00/departing 15:00/arriving 16:30. This corrects an earlier reading that listed a fourth, separate 14:00 departure.

Cancellation rules, baggage allowance and hotel pickup are set by the operator and the seller, and they differ more than you would expect. Read the terms on your own booking before paying.
