Return: Gili Trawangan → Gili Meno → Gili Air → Bangsal
 
Eight departures run daily from Bangsal, starting at 09:00 and running hourly until 16:00. 
 

Onboard Facilities & Seating

The Karya Bahari boats are open-air vessels designed for the short local crossing between Bangsal and the Gili Islands.

There is no air-conditioning, which is typical for this route.

The crossing to Gili Trawangan takes around 30 minutes, so comfort is not usually a concern.
 

  • Seating: Removable cushioned seating for 75 passengers. Seating is not assigned, so arriving early at the harbour counter gives you a better choice of spot.
     
  • Toilet: An onboard toilet is available throughout the crossing.
     
  • Luggage space: Ample space for luggage is provided onboard. The allowance is 15 kg per person. Large or oversized bags may not be accommodated on this smaller vessel.
