Wahana Virendra Schedule

Express Cantika


The Express Cantika is a brand-new, 180-passenger high-speed catamaran operated by Wahana Virendra, an Indonesian-owned company based in Bali. It runs daily between Padang Bai and Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Senggigi, stopping at both Gili islands on the way to Lombok.

The catamaran hull offers a more stable ride than a standard monohull fast boat, which makes a noticeable difference in choppy conditions on the Lombok Strait. Onboard facilities include air conditioning and a toilet.

Morning return sailings from the Gili Islands and Senggigi are timed to allow passengers to connect to late-afternoon flights from Denpasar. Wahana Virendra is licensed and has a good safety record.
