At the harbour

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

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.

Arriving at

Gili Meno

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 to reach the beach, 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

  • ATMs near the landing are unreliable, so bring enough rupiah with you.

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.
