Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best fast boat from Bali to the Gili Islands?
It depends on your departure port and budget. Eka Jaya is the most reliable operator overall, with large, stable vessels and a long track record. D'Camel and Golden Queen are also consistently good. All operators on Gilitickets are licensed and have a good safety record, so the difference is mainly comfort and reliability rather than safety.
Are the fast boats safe?
Every operator listed on Gilitickets is fully licensed under Indonesian maritime regulations and carries the required safety equipment, including life jackets, life rafts and marine radio. Budget pricing does not mean compromised safety. We do not list operators with poor safety records.
Which port in Bali should I use?
It depends on where you are staying. Padang Bai is best for Ubud, Candidasa, Amed and east or central Bali. Sanur is best for South Bali, avoiding the long drive east to Padang Bai. Serangan is also good for south Bali and is a quieter harbour with smoother boarding. Nusa Dua is best for Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran and Uluwatu. Not all operators serve every port, so check the departure options on each ticket page.
What luggage can I bring on the fast boat?
Most operators allow one carry-on bag plus checked baggage of up to 20 or 25 kg depending on the operator. Luggage is typically stored in the hold or a separate luggage area. Excess or oversized bags may incur an additional fee payable at the harbour.
What is the difference between Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno?
Gili Trawangan is the largest and most developed of the three, with the most bars, restaurants and nightlife. Gili Air is quieter, with a good mix of accommodation and a relaxed atmosphere. Gili Meno is the smallest and most peaceful, popular with couples and those wanting to avoid crowds. All three are car-free.
