Gili Gede
Harbor on Gili Gede in the Southwest Gilis (Sekotong), West Lombok — fast boat connections to Bali, Nusa Penida, Senggigi and the northeast Gili Islands.
About Gili Gede
Gili Gede is the largest of the Southwest Gilis, a quiet cluster of islands off the Sekotong peninsula in West Lombok. Unlike the busy northeast trio of Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno, Gili Gede is calm and undeveloped, with a handful of eco-resorts, fishing villages and mangrove-lined shores.
The island jetty receives fast boats from Bali (Serangan) via Nusa Penida, and connects onward to Senggigi and the northeast Gili Islands.

- From Nusa Penida: approx. 1 hour

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.
