Padang Bai to Gili Air Destination Reviews

It was perfect but something you need to beware of are the port costs. We drove from Padang Bai Port to Gili Air (over Trawangan). Padang Bai is a very tight port, most streets are blocked. We had no "problems" getting through when the taxi driver told them we are going to Wahana. Thankfully Wahana has their own "Terminal" at the end of the street with spacious parking, unloading areas, checking counters and multiple staff. It also features a restaurant. And when boarding started they guided us through the streets to the actual port terminal. Your baggage is brought directly from the terminal to the ship, like in an airplane. Wahana made Padang Bai very pleasant for us. ATTENTION: At the checking counters they tell you, for Gili Air they want 45k port cost / person in cash. This is neither communicated by 12Go nor by Wahana beforehand. Our local Hotel Manager went with us, as he did not heard of Wahana before and told us he was very amazed by everything and would recommend them to his guests from here on. We drove on the Catanik 09 which was spaceous and comfortable and it has an outside deck. As well as beverages and a bit food too but I would rather bring my own snack - not because of the price but what they offered. (Tip: Go to the upper area if you don't get sea sick easily. The sea is rougher but the seats are first class - they did not sell different classes for our ride) Different to Trawangan, Gili Air has no port. So a boat will come and pick you up in the middle of the sea. The plenty of staff will move your luggage (and you) from boat to boat. So no worries, it was fun! But if you have walking disabilities I would avoid Gili Air. It was very pleasant in general. Thank you Wahana.

Our departure was delayed. We arrived the required hour early, while others didn't. And to top it off, we left an hour and fifteen minutes late. In short, they made us waste a lot of time.

It was a fairly efficient experience but the seating is very cramped so it’s not comfortable for 2 hours. If i was to book again I would go for a larger ferry where you can move around rather than speedboat

The boat did not stop in the harbor. The passengers were transboarded to a smaller boat in the middle of the bay. Hence the trip time is false. Add 40mn

Perfect score for wahana, 5 star. We got the ferry from Padang bai to Gili air. The got a new catamaran ferry, which is perfect. I didnt even feel the waves. Its very big, you can walk around it and has a deck on the stern. Service was very very good. You got a free water, they where handing out free sea sickness pills of you wanted and also a bag. The catamaran ferry had a big flatscreen tv where they played a movie (Fantastic Four) in English with Indonesian subtitels. Would recommend it for sure. This boat was even better then eka. But i dont know the other boats.
