FAQs

Padang Bai to Gili Air ferry questions

Often, yes. Operators combine Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Bangsal on a single sailing, and the order varies between them. Check the stop order rather than the headline crossing time, because being the last stop can add a fair bit to your day.
Yes. Gili Air is the quieter of the two and suits a slower stay. Both are served from Padang Bai, often by the same boat, so check which one your ticket actually lands at.
No. These are passenger fast boats. If you need to move a vehicle between Bali and Lombok, the conventional ASDP ferry runs Padang Bai to Lembar and takes cars, motorbikes and campervans. That crossing is 4 to 5 hours at sea depending on conditions, with no fixed timetable: ferries leave when they are loaded, roughly every 60 to 90 minutes, around the clock. Budget 5 to 6 hours from arriving at Padang Bai to driving off at Lembar.
