Bali to Gili Air Destination Reviews

I had a great experience sailing from Pandang Bai to Gili Air. Nice, comfortable and clean ferry. Felt safe. I missed a little more information about which ferry was bording when. That being said there was no problems.

On time departure and comfortable upper deck. But the requirement to check in 1 hr before departure seems useless and overrated

Overall, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, everything was fine, the driver arrived earlier than scheduled but let me know well in advance. The car was comfortable and spacious, and the driver had a great music selection. We left Uluwatu at 8:40 instead of 9, and arrived at the port around 11:10. Once there, the boat staff told us that the boat would leave at 1:30 p.m. and that we should come back at 1 p.m. According to the information on 12goasia, the departure was supposed to be at 9 a.m. and arrival at Gili Air at 2 p.m. I don't know how we are supposed to get to Gili Air at 2 p.m. if the boat leaves at 1:30 p.m. We had to find something to do for two hours in the port, where everyone tries to sell you something, push something on you, or mislead you for financial gain. We left at 1:30 p.m. and arrived at Gili Air at 4:15 p.m., which is 135 minutes later than the information provided by Bali Magir Trans when selling their services. If I had known that I would be waiting pointlessly for two hours at the port, which would make me arrive two hours later, I would have used someone else's services. The boat had air conditioning, the ride was pleasant, and the staff were also helpful.

The driver couldn't find your office and neither could we, the office was actually named something else which made it hard and confusing to find and a bit stressful

Main ferry journey was fine. Big boat, quite empty, plenty of life jackets. We travelled from Serangan to Gili Air. We were told at check in to go to Lombok to get a speed boat to Gili Air. They took our photo for the shuttle boat. Arrived at Lombok and fella on the boat said that the speedboat left from Gili T. Once of the dock at Lombok two small guys with about six other people had our photo and repeatedly said "your ticket paid for public boat which may not go as need forty people now it's quiet" even though we did have a tag saying fast boat. We were then pressured into and SCAMMED onto a small rubbish boat where we were asked to pay 150k for the transfer across and then the small man who had our photo kept 50k for himself. They created chaos through the number of people crowding us, language barrier and time pressure. Fully taking advantage of us being tourists and unsure what was going on, where or when normal boats would go from. The small boat journey was BAD as the boat was taking on a lot of water from underneath and the person sailing it had no idea how to use an outboard motor as the prop kept coming out of the water. AVOID AT ALL COST AND WE WILL BE DEMANDING A REFUND!!!
