Want to relax after your intense tour on a chill bounty island? Go for the Gilis! There are many gili’s (islands) between Bali and Lombok, but the most famous are the three in the North. Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno en Gili Air. We tell you how to get there in this blog!

FROM BALI TO THE GILIS

In the famous cities of Bali like Seminyak, Sanur and Ubud you can buy a ticket for a boat trip to the Gili’s. If you already have specific plans, you can buy a return ticket. If you don’t know how long you will stay on the Gili’s, you can also buy an open return ticket. This is cheaper than twice an one-way trip. The boats from Bali depart from Padang Bai, Amed and Sanur. For a one-way trip they ask around 350,000 IDR (€ 22.00). You can get a return ticket from 550,000 IDR (€ 34.50).

FROM LOMBOK TO THE GILIS

Do you want to explore the Gili’s after your stay at Lombok? Then you can leave from Senggigi, Teluk Nare or Bangsal. From Senggigi you can reach the Gili Trawangan within half an hour. For an one-way trip you pay around IDR 85,000 (€ 5.30). You can also take a public bumpy boat for around 25,000 IDR (€ 1.60). This is not recommended for people who quickly become seasick.

FROM GILI TO GILI

Between Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno boats sail every morning for 25,000 IDR (€ 1.60) one way. The last boat leaves at 9:30 am. Too late? Then you unfortunately have to shift your plans to the next day.
The return trip is around 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Didn’t booked an accommodation on the other island? Make sure that you are back at the port on time, so that you do not miss the last crossing.

ROUTE FERRY

After our tour in Bali we went from the port of Padang Bai by ferry to Lombok. Here we arrived at Teluk Nare to continue our tour there. After a few days at Lombok we were ready for the Gili’s to relax for a few days. We’ve stayed for 5 nights at Gili Trawangan. From Gili Trawangan we took the boat after those 5 nights to Sanur for the last 2 nights of our tour.

On the internet you can read many reviews of bad companies with a lot of delay. We have booked our tickets at the companies Mahi Mahi and Sindex and we both enjoyed it! With sindex you can even sit in the sun on the roof and they sell cold drinks. It couldn’t be better!
