Transport

Currently, there are two boats running a day between Padang Bai (Bali), and Gili Air; at 9 AM and 12.30 PM. To calculate if you can catch the boat to Gili Air on the same day as your arrive in Bali, take your arrival time and add a minimum of 4 hours.

If you are not able to travel to Gili Air on your arrival date you need to book a hotel in Bali for one night.

We would recommend you to book a hotel either in Kuta / Denpasar (close to the airport) or Sanur (halfway between the airport and the port) or close to Padang Bai (from her the boat will leave to Gili).

Please provide us with the details of your hotel in Bali using the form below so we can arrange your transport accordingly. From Lombok Airport you can travel to Gili Air 24/7.
