Arriving at

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.

About this route (Nusa Dua to Gili Islands)

Traveling from Nusa Dua to the Gili Islands is one of the easiest ways to continue your Bali trip to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno, or Lombok. This page helps you compare available fast boat routes, departure times, operators, and ticket options from the Nusa Dua area.

Use the live schedule on this page to check current availability for your travel date. Fast boat routes can change depending on the operator, season, sea conditions, seat availability, and active schedule, so live inventory is more reliable than fixed departure times from old travel blogs.

The Nusa Dua to Gili Islands route is useful for travelers staying in Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, Benoa, or the airport area. Instead of traveling far across Bali before boarding, you can check live fast boat options connected to South Bali and choose the route that fits your hotel location and arrival plan.

Available destinations may include Nusa Dua to Gili Trawangan, Nusa Dua to Gili Air, Nusa Dua to Gili Meno, and Nusa Dua to Lombok. Some departures may board directly from Nusa Dua Harbor, while other options may use nearby Bali departure points depending on the operator and schedule.

Gili Trawangan is the most popular destination in the Gili Islands. It is the best choice if you want the widest hotel selection, beach clubs, diving centers, sunset bars, and the busiest island atmosphere.

If you are searching for a fast boat from Nusa Dua to Gili Trawangan, check the live table first. It shows available departure times, operators, and ticket options for your selected date, because Gili Trawangan schedules can vary by season and operator.

Gili Air is quieter than Gili Trawangan but still has enough restaurants, beach cafes, dive shops, and accommodation options. It is a good choice for couples, families, and travelers who want a relaxed island stay without being too isolated.

For the Nusa Dua to Gili Air route, check the live schedule before booking. Some boats stop at Gili Trawangan before continuing to Gili Air, while others may have different stop orders depending on the operator.

Gili Meno is the quietest of the three main Gili Islands. It is better for honeymooners, slow travel, beach stays, snorkeling, and travelers who want fewer crowds. Fast boat options from Nusa Dua to Gili Meno may be more limited than Gili Trawangan or Gili Air.

If your final destination is mainland Lombok, search for Nusa Dua to Lombok or Nusa Dua to Bangsal options in the live schedule. Bangsal is the main harbor area for reaching North Lombok and the Gili Islands, while some services may continue through Senggigi depending on operator routing.

Check the departure harbor, arrival island, check-in time, baggage rules, and cancellation policy before payment. Fast boat trips depend on sea conditions, so keep your WhatsApp or email active after booking in case the operator sends an update.

If you are staying in Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, or near the airport, allow enough time to reach the boarding point. Even when the harbor looks close on the map, Bali traffic can still affect your check-in time.

Travel tips

Check the live schedule before choosing your island because Nusa Dua to Gili routes can change by date, season, operator, sea conditions, and seat availability.

Choose Gili Trawangan for the most active island, nightlife, diving shops, restaurants, and the easiest social atmosphere.

Choose Gili Air for a quieter but still convenient stay with restaurants, cafes, snorkeling trips, and accommodation options.

Choose Gili Meno for the quietest trip, honeymoon stays, slow travel, snorkeling, and fewer crowds.

Choose Lombok if your final destination is mainland Lombok, Senggigi, Kuta Lombok, Mount Rinjani, North Lombok, or Lombok airport.

Always check the actual departure harbor and arrival point before payment because some routes may involve stopovers or nearby Bali departure points depending on the operator.

Arrive early for check-in and leave enough time from hotels in Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, or the airport area.

Keep your WhatsApp or email active after booking because operators may send updates about check-in time, harbor details, weather, or schedule changes.

Book earlier during weekends, holidays, and peak season because seats can sell out faster on limited South Bali departures.

Use the live table instead of old blog schedules because it shows current bookable routes from Nusa Dua to the Gili Islands and Lombok.
