Compared on Sun 11 Oct from live bookable sailings. Facilities are listed for the operator’s fleet, so the boat on your day may differ.

At the harbour

What to expect when you check in and when you arrive, checked against official and operator sources.

Departing from

Sanur Harbor

Fees

  • The Nusa Penida and Lembongan island levy is not part of the boat fare; Maruti asks passengers to pay it separately.

Check-in

  • Maruti and Glory open check-in 90 minutes before departure and close it 30 minutes before, and ask you to arrive at least an hour early.

Boarding

  • The harbour, opened in November 2022, boards from a floating pontoon, so you step on dry instead of wading from the beach.

Getting there

  • Grab and Gojek can drop off at the harbour but not pick up; walk about 600–700 m towards the main road to book a ride.

Facilities

  • The terminal has operator ticket counters and indoor waiting areas, with luggage storage, convenience stores and cafés at or next to the harbour.

Good to know

  • Harbour taxi drivers are reported to charge more than app fares; pre-book a transfer or walk out of the no-pick-up zone.

Departing from

Serangan Harbor

Fees

  • Denpasar’s regulation sets the port entry pass at Rp 2,500 per person. The city transport office has run the port since June 2024.

Check-in

  • Gili Getaway asks you to be at the dock at least 30 minutes before departure; its boats leave on time.

Boarding

  • Gili Getaway carries normal luggage free; surfboard bags cost Rp 100,000 (single) or Rp 200,000 (multi-board) per journey. BlueWater allows two bags up to 25 kg in total.

Getting there

  • Serangan is about 30–40 minutes by road from Kuta or the airport in normal traffic, and BlueWater recommends it if you are staying in south Bali.

Facilities

  • After check-in you wait in the port’s waiting area until boarding is called. Toilets and small food stalls are at or near the harbour.

Departing from

Padang Bai Harbor

Check-in

  • Eka Jaya opens check-in one hour before departure and closes it 30 minutes before; late passengers are not boarded or refunded.

Boarding

  • Eka Jaya, Wahana and BlueWater each allow two bags per passenger, up to 25 kg in total.

Getting there

  • Fast boats leave from Padang Bai’s public boat dock, not from the car-ferry terminal for Lembar.
  • The drive from Ubud takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. BlueWater suggests Padang Bai if you are staying in central Bali and warns that roads get busy.
  • Grab and Gojek can drop you at the port, but app pick-ups there are obstructed; travellers usually walk 5 to 10 minutes away before booking a ride.

Good to know

  • Touts around the harbour sell boat tickets at inflated prices, so buy from the operator’s counter or in advance. If an unofficial porter offers to carry your bags, agree the price first.

Departing from

Nusa Dua

Check-in

  • Eka Jaya opens check-in one hour before departure and closes it 30 minutes before; late passengers are not boarded or refunded.

Boarding

  • Eka Jaya allows two bags per passenger, up to 25 kg in total.

Getting there

  • This is Eka Jaya’s own harbour on the Tanjung Benoa peninsula, opened in 2026 as its second Bali departure point besides Padang Bai.

Arriving at

Gili Trawangan

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

  • Gili Getaway asks you to be at the dock at least 30 minutes before departure; its boats leave on time.
  • For the trip back, Wahana passengers report to its check-in staff to swap the booking for a boarding pass, then wait at the jetty while porters load the bags.

Boarding

  • Boats arrive at the public harbour on the island’s sheltered east side, close to the market and most places to stay. On Wahana boats, porters unload the bags.

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

  • Several ATMs are near the harbour, but they can run out of cash in July, August and at year-end, especially in the evening.

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.

About this route (Bali to Gili Trawangan)

Gili Trawangan, often called Gili T, is the largest and busiest of the three Gili Islands. It is known for beach clubs, nightlife, diving, snorkeling, and car-free island life.

Fast boats from Bali to Gili Trawangan usually depart from Padang Bai, Serangan, or Sanur. Travel time depends on the departure harbor, sea conditions, and operator route. Padang Bai is usually the fastest option, with crossings around 1.5 hours. Departures from Serangan or Sanur can take around 2 to 2.5 hours because of the longer sailing distance.

Popular operators on this route include Eka Jaya, Scoot Fast Cruises, BlueWater Express, and other licensed fast boat companies. Fares depend on the operator, season, and whether hotel transfer is included; current prices are shown in the live schedule.

The Bali to Gili Trawangan route is one of the most popular fast boat routes in Indonesia. During peak season, choosing the right departure time and harbor is often more important than choosing the cheapest ticket.

Padang Bai is usually best for travelers who want the shortest sea crossing. Serangan and Sanur may be more convenient for guests staying around South Bali, but the boat journey is usually longer.

Each operator may have a different check-in point, boarding process, baggage policy, and arrival flow on Gili Trawangan. Before booking, check the exact harbor, check-in time, luggage allowance, and whether hotel pickup is included.

For travelers continuing to Gili Air, Gili Meno, Lombok, or returning to Bali, choose an operator with clear schedules and reliable reschedule support.

Sea conditions can change during the day, especially during windy periods. Morning departures are often preferred because the water is usually calmer than in the afternoon.

Keep enough buffer time between your fast boat arrival and hotel check-in, diving schedule, or onward travel. Delays can happen due to weather, harbor queues, or loading time.

For groups, book earlier during high season so you have better departure choices and can stay on the same boat.

Travel tips

Book at least 2 days in advance during peak season.

Choose Padang Bai if your main priority is the shortest crossing time.

Choose Serangan or Sanur if you prefer easier access from South Bali and do not mind a longer boat ride.

Arrive at the harbor early for check-in and boarding.

Bring motion sickness tablets if you are sensitive to waves.

Keep your valuables, passport, and electronics in a small hand-carry bag.
