FAQs

Padang Bai to Gili Air ferry questions

Plan on 1h 40m-2h 30m. Weather, loading time and intermediate stops can move that number, so do not stack a tight airport transfer straight after the crossing.
Most tickets show Padang Bai Harbor for departure and Gili Air Harbor for arrival. Read the harbor line, not just the island name. That small check saves a real taxi headache.
Often. Padang Bai boats may call at Gili Trawangan, Gili Air or Bangsal in a different order depending on the operator. The stop order matters more than the glossy duration claim.
No. These are passenger fast boats. If you need a vehicle ferry between Bali and Lombok, look at the ASDP Padang Bai to Lembar roll-on ferry instead.
