FAQs

Padang Bai to Gili Trawangan ferry questions

Padang Bai is the closest Bali port to the Gili Islands, so it gives the shortest sea crossing. The trade-off is the road. From Ubud or east Bali the drive is straightforward, but from Canggu or Seminyak it is long enough that you should add it to the crossing time before deciding this is the faster option.
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.
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.
