Fast boats to the Gilis

Gilitickets offers some of the cheapest online fast boat tickets available from Bali to the Gilis. Gilitickets is a no frills booking portal for fast boat trips between Bali, Lombok, Lembongan  and the Gilis. The seat availability is controlled by the fast boat companies which means that you can check what's available, see prices and make immediate online bookings.  Gilitickets works with the cheapest fast boat operators so it is the perfect place to book your tickets if you are on a budget and don't mind that things will often work on 'Indo time'.

NOTE: Online bookings cannot be made less than 24 hours from departure time.

If you want to book tickets with the more reputable fast boat companies then we suggest you book through our sister company www.gilibookings.com where you will also get a higher level of service but more expensive tickets.  The fast boat operators on gilitickets.com are generally the newer companies who have not built up a track record, or they are under new management and are making an effort to improve their services.  They will do their best to make sure that you make it to your destination on time but as they offer cheaper tickets their boats tend to be full which often results in slight delays to the scheduled services.

The fast boat companies that are available on Giltickets cover a variety of different routes between Bali, Lombok, Lembongan, Ceningan and the Gilis.  Serangan harbour and Sanur are both in South west Bali and include free hotel transfers from most locations in South west Bali.  Padang Bai is the perfect departure point if you are staying in Ubud or Candidasa, however most of the boat companies departing from Padang Bai also include free hotel transfers from South west Bali locations. Amed is the best departure point for North Bali travellers. For more information about each of the boat companies just use the search box at the top of this page.  You will be able to see what's available as well as checking the prices, routes, schedules, free hotel transfer information, and are able to view photos of the boats and see the specs and safety features.

We are currently working with a selection of the best budget boat operators.  These are Patagonia Xpress, Eka Jaya, Wahana, Mahi Mahi, Semaya One, Pacha and Kuda Hitam. 

Patagonia Express is one of the newest fast boat operators departing from Benoa Harbour and Padang Bai, Bali stopping at Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Lombok.  A very nice, comfortable new fleet. Early departure from Gili Trawangan make this a useful boat to use if you want to be back in Bali earlier than the others.

Wahana Gili Ocean has been around a while but is now starting to compete well in the fast boat market. They depart from Padang Bai in Bali which means that the boat crossing is shorter than from Serangan.  Padang Bai is suitable for anyone staying in Ubud and Candidasa areas, however Wahana Gili Ocean will also provide free hotel transfers to and from most areas in South west Bali. This just means you'll be in a car for about an hour and a half before getting to the boat.

Eka Jaya also operate a variety of different routes between Bali, Lombok, Ceningan/Lembongan and the Gili Islands. They have boats that operate from Serangan to Nusa Lembongan and others that operate from Padang Bai to Lombok and the Gili Islands. They also provide an Island Hopping ticket type, more info for which can be found on our how to book page.

TIP: In high season seat availability is often limited so it is advisable to book well in advance.  If you´re having difficulty finding a return ticket for the dates you need try using different boat companies for each leg of the trip. To avoid overbookings online bookings can not be made less than 24 hours from departure time.

We are always running SPECIAL OFFERS on tickets with one of our fast boat partners from Bali to the Gilis , Bali to Lombok and Bali to Lembongan just use the seach box at the top of this page to find the cheapest tickets.

NOTE: All of the fast boat companies travelling to Lombok arrive in either Teluk Nara, Teluk Kode or Bangsal harbour, and all fast boats return to their original departure point in Bali.
