Gili to Bali Airport Ferry

Marina group fast ferry

Avoid the Padang Bai traffic. The most convenient way to catch your evening flight from Denpasar.

If you are traveling from the Gili Islands back to Denpasar Airport (DPS), the biggest risk to your schedule isn't the boat: it's the road traffic. Marina Fast Ferry is the specialized choice for flight connections because it arrives at Serangan Harbor, the closest port to Bali’s international airport.

Located just 20–30 minutes from the terminal via the Bali Mandara toll road, Serangan allows you to skip the unpredictable 2+ hour drive from East Bali and reach the airport area with a much higher degree of certainty.

You can book your Marina Fast Ferry tickets easily by using the search interface on this page. 

The Gili to Bali Airport Advantage

  • Closest Port to Bali Airport: Serangan is the nearest harbor to Denpasar Airport (DPS), Kuta, and Seminyak.
  • Avoid Padang Bai Traffic: Bypass the long, congested highway from East Bali that frequently causes missed flights.
  • Bypass Denpasar Gridlock: Marina utilizes the high-speed toll road for a direct 20-minute connection to the airport terminal.
  • Smart Morning Timing: The morning departure is specifically timed to get you to South Bali by approximately 12:30 PM.
  • Cheap Gili Tickets: Competitive budget pricing for travelers who want a reliable, large-scale ferry service without the luxury price tag.

Morning Schedule: Gili to Bali Airport

Marina Fast Ferry operates a daily morning return loop designed for same-day airport transfers.

Serangan to Bali Airport Transfer Times

We recommend the Serangan morning route for travelers with evening flights to ensure a stress-free transition from the islands to the runway.

  • Boat Arrival at Serangan: Approx. 12:30 PM.
  • Arrival at Airport Check-in: Approx. 1:15 PM (via Toll Road).
  • Recommended Flights: Best for flights departing from 17:00 (5:00 PM) onwards.

Note: We always suggest a sensible buffer between boat arrival and flight departure. Sea and road conditions can occasionally cause unforeseen delays. Avoid booking tight connections.

Same-Day Afternoon Arrival (Bali Airport to Gili)

Landing in Bali in the morning? Marina Fast Ferry also offers a vital 13:30 departure from Serangan to the Gili Islands. If your flight lands at DPS before 11:30 AM, this is your best bet for a same-day crossing on a large, stable vessel, reaching the islands by 16:00.

Nusa Penida Connections

Marina Fast Ferry serves as a central hub for both island-hoppers and airport arrivals heading to Nusa Penida. For those moving between islands, the vessel stops at Penida as part of the Gili to Serangan morning loop, providing a direct path from Gili Trawangan or Gili Air.

Additionally, for travelers landing at Denpasar Airport in the morning, the 13:30 departure from Serangan offers a reliable afternoon window to reach Nusa Penida. This is a significant advantage over the early-morning Sanur departures, allowing you to cross the Badung Strait on a larger, more stable aluminum vessel even if your flight arrives mid-morning.

Best Value Gili to Bali Airport Transfer

Marina Fast Ferry is the most practical choice for an efficient Gili to Bali airport connection. By arriving at Serangan instead of Padang Bai, you save hours of travel time and avoid the notorious East Bali traffic jams. It is the fastest and cheapest route back to your flight with the least amount of hassle.

Don't get stuck in East Bali traffic: book the Serangan route and beat the gridlock.
