Before you travel: Gili Air
Fees
- Visitors to the three Gilis pay an entry fee of Rp 20,000 (foreign) or Rp 10,000 (Indonesian adults), in force since 1 February 2024. Most boats from Bali collect it when you board or include it in the ticket; otherwise staff collect it at the Gili harbour.
- A rise to Rp 50,000 for foreign visitors has been proposed but was still a draft in 2026, so the Rp 20,000 rate applies.
Check-in
- Eka Jaya transfers passengers by shuttle boat between its ferry and the shore here, so check-in and the shuttle leave earlier than on other islands.
- Gili Getaway asks you to be at the dock at least 30 minutes before departure; its boats leave on time.
Boarding
- Expect to step through shallow water when you get off, so wear shoes that can get wet.
Getting around
- There are no motor vehicles on the Gilis. You walk, rent a bicycle or take a cidomo (horse cart), which is the usual way to move heavy luggage. Cidomo fares are not fixed, so agree the price before you get on.
- A 2026 transport-office advisory also bars renting or riding e-bikes and e-scooters on the islands.
Facilities
- There are ATMs close to the harbour.
Good to know
- Weather can cancel sailings, most often from January to March. Eka Jaya advises leaving at least 24 hours before any onward flight, and mornings are usually the calmest time to cross.

Plan your departure from Gili Air
Check the live sailing and operator instructions for your travel date before going to the harbor. Departure counters, boarding points and check-in windows can differ by operator even when boats leave from the same terminal.
Address: Gili Air Harbor, Gili Air, Lombok Utara, NTB
Allow time for ticket validation, baggage handling and boarding. Weather, tides and port authority instructions can change sailing times, so use the current schedule rather than relying on an old screenshot or a static timetable.
