Gili Water Taxi


The Gili Water Taxi is a private, on-demand boat service connecting Lombok and all three Gili Islands, as well as running inter-island transfers between Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno.
 
The boats are compact alloy-hulled local speed boats with a capacity of up to 10 passengers, departing from the main harbours on each island
 
. Unlike scheduled fast boats, there is no fixed timetable: you choose your departure time during booking, and the service runs daily until midnight. This makes it one of the most flexible ways to move between the Gilis and Lombok, including late-evening crossings that other operators do not cover.
 
The Gili Water Taxi is operated by Gili Speed Boat, a licensed water taxi service running on this stretch of water since 2000.
