At the harbour

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

Departing from

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.

Arriving at

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.

Arriving at

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.

Arriving at

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.

Arriving at

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.

About this route (Gili Trawangan to Bali)

Fast boats from Gili Trawangan land at four Bali harbours: Padang Bai on the east coast, and Sanur, Serangan and Nusa Dua in the south. This page puts them in one timetable, so you can pick the boat by where you are going next in Bali rather than by the harbour name.

Padang Bai is the shortest crossing, about 1 hour 30 minutes on a direct boat, and the harbour with the most departures. It suits travellers heading to Ubud, Candidasa, Amed or east Bali, but it is roughly a 90-minute drive to the airport and the southern beach towns.

Sanur, Serangan and Nusa Dua are longer crossings, often three to four hours or more, because many boats call at Gili Air, Lombok, Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida on the way. In exchange they land close to the airport, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran and the Nusa Dua resorts, which can make them the quicker choice door to door.

Departures leave Gili Trawangan from the morning to mid-afternoon. If you are flying out of Bali the same day, pick a boat that leaves plenty of margin for delays at sea and for traffic from the harbour to the airport; after a morning crossing, an evening flight is the realistic target.

Current fares for every departure are shown in the live schedule above and vary by operator, seat class, travel date and season.

Boats leave from the harbour on the east side of Gili Trawangan, next to the main strip. Check in at your operator's counter before the time on your ticket; there are no cars on the island, so arrange a cidomo (pony cart) or a porter for heavy luggage.

Luggage is stowed together in the bow, not at your seat. Keep your passport, phone and anything fragile in a small hand bag. At Sanur, the harbour opened in 2022 boards from a floating pontoon, so you step ashore dry.

Afternoon crossings of the Lombok Strait are usually the bumpier ones. When weather cancels a sailing, operators offer another departure or a refund, which is one more reason not to plan a tight connection to a flight.

Travel tips

Choose the Bali harbour by where you are going next: Padang Bai for Ubud and east Bali, Sanur, Serangan or Nusa Dua for the airport and the south.

Leave a generous margin between your boat's arrival and a flight from Bali; delays at sea and airport traffic both happen.

Arrange a cidomo or porter for luggage to the harbour - there are no cars on Gili Trawangan.

Keep valuables in a hand-carry bag; main luggage travels in the bow.

Which Bali harbour should I choose from Gili Trawangan?: Padang Bai is the shortest crossing and suits Ubud and east Bali. Sanur, Serangan and Nusa Dua are longer crossings but land close to the airport and the southern beach areas. Compare the door-to-door time, not only the time at sea.

How long is the fast boat from Gili Trawangan to Bali?: About 1 hour 30 minutes to Padang Bai on a direct boat. Crossings to Sanur, Serangan and Nusa Dua usually take three hours or more because of stops. The timetable shows each departure's duration.

How much is the fast boat from Gili Trawangan to Bali?: Fares depend on the operator, seat class, travel date and season. The timetable on this page shows the current bookable price for each departure.

Can I catch a flight from Bali on the same day?: Usually, with an evening flight after a morning boat. Allow for delays at sea and traffic from the harbour to the airport, and avoid tight connections.

Does a fast boat from Gili Trawangan go to Bali airport?: No boat lands at the airport. Serangan and Sanur are the closest harbours to it; from Padang Bai the drive is about 90 minutes.
