Padang Bai to Gili Islands Destination Reviews

The ferry from Padangbai to Gili Trawangan was okay. Aircon to much and I could see that everyone in that area were cold. The speedboat from Gili T to Meno was absolutely awful! We were 6 people in that boat and 4 of them was scared to death! At least two people (my parents) got back problems after because he was sailing that awful. The boat was tossed over the waves and almost flying. Never tried anything this bad before and we tried a LOT of boats!

It would be great if you inform about the harbour tax upfront that needs to be paid twice (each direction). Also - and this for me is a no go - we paid a complete trip (Bali - Gili Meno and back), but had to pay for the small boat that picked us up at Gili Meno in the way back. To Gili Meno it was included, so I have the feeling this was scammy action.

Our ship was delayed more than 2 hours, we had to wait 3 hours in the small harbour building or in the direct sun. Schedules seem more like a scam to me.

After reading many reviews I was confused many were bad and some good. I had a good experience. Went ro boarding point. Paid tax. Although the staff there wanted me to pay little extra so he can carry my bag till the ferry. That felt like a scam. However I carried my own bag. Waited in the waiting area. Departure gate had announcement of when ferry docks in and boarding starts. However once ticket is scanned we have to wait on the port in heat for good 30 to 40 mins. Bags are first asked to be kept aside and all tags are checked, bags are loaded on roof and then passengers are boarding. May get uncomfortable in servers heat. Once boarding is complete the ferry left approx 5 mins early than mentioned departure time. Ferry is booked to max capacity for the number of seats available. Ac cools too quickly in 10 mins cabin was cool. This feels further uncomfortable as cabin gets too cold. Reached gili T in 1hr and 45 mins. Dropped pax in 15 mins. Next stop was mine gili meno in approx 3 mins from there. Ferry does not dock here. Another smaller boat takes us to port. Transfer happens towards the coast Although on Sea itself.
