Nusa Lembongan to Gili Islands

Nusa Lembongan to Gili Islands Operators

• Eka Jaya Fast Ferry: The recommended choice on this route. Eka Jaya has operated fast ferries across the region since 1999 and runs large, stable, air-conditioned vessels with reliable schedules.
  
  On a crossing of this length, the size and stability of the boat makes a genuine difference, particularly when conditions in the Lombok Strait are rough.
  
  Check-in is at the Eka Jaya Lembongan Harbour Office on Jl. Yellow Bridge. 
   
• Wijaya Perkasa: Wijaya covers the Lembongan to Gili Islands route, and their air-conditioned boats are generally fine on the water.
  That said, they are known for occasional delays and schedule changes, so build some flexibility into your day if you book with them.
  
  Check-in is at the Wijaya office at Jungut Batu Harbour. Worth considering if the price is significantly lower and your timing is not fixed.

Nusa Lembongan to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno

Nusa Lembongan to Gili Trawangan 

The Nusa Lembongan to Gili Trawangan crossing takes around 1h45 to 2h40. Gili T is the liveliest of the three islands, with the most accommodation, bars, restaurants and nightlife options. It is the busiest and most visited, which also means boats from Lembongan are most likely to fill up on this route in high season. 
For a crossing of this length, Eka Jaya is the more comfortable choice: air-conditioned cabin, stable hull and a reliable schedule.

  Withdraw cash before you leave Nusa Lembongan or Bali to avoid being caught short, as the ATMs that do exist can run out of cash during busy periods.
