About Gili Dewata Transfer
While some travellers feel skeptical about vans, a good choice of destinations and competitive prices make vans one of the most popular means of transport for others. Vans are always more flexible than big buses. If there is a sudden request for rides to some new destinations, van operators are always the first to offer their service. Indeed, it is easier to launch a new route if you operate a vehicle of 10-15 pax capacity, isn’t it?
Gili Dewata Transfer operates van service and offers tickets with easy online booking. Check them if you are looking for options to travel by van.

As a rule, it is not possible to choose a ticket class when travelling by van. Yet you can check with the operator and/or choose the type of van which serves your route.

Pros & Cons of Van Travel
Pros of Van Travel
- Vans often reach the destinations where neither buses nor trains travel. These include secondary towns and smaller villages
- In most cases vans are the fastest way to get to your destination if travelling to relatively short distances overland simply because they are smaller than buses and more maneuverable
- Vans can let you get off at a more convenient point enroute – not necessarily at the terminal, what actually can save you loads of time and money in some cases.
Cons of Van Travel
- Some vans can be quite cramped with limited space for luggage available. Well, actually almost all vans offer limited luggage space and if you have more than one bag, suitcase or backpack, it may be a good idea to buy a separate seat for your luggage – yes, you will pay double for your trip, alas
- It is worth checking if your van runs on schedule or leaves when full – in the latter case you may end up waiting too long as on several routes it can take quite a time for a van to fill up.
- You should know that van drivers are notorious for their speedy driving. Even the most reputable companies sometimes fail to persuade the drivers to respect the speed limits. Even if your van driver does not insist on it, always buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van
- If you easily get seasick and your trip includes winding stretches, chances to feel motion sickness are higher while travelling by van than by bus. Take your medicine half an hour before your trip to be on the safe side.

The boat was over an hour late. The boat ride was very rough, everyone on board felt sick. Felt like they were trying to make up for lost time. The driver of the shuttle drove very fast and impatient. We did get a bottle of water and a bag, in case we had to trow up.

Van Shuttle + Fast Boat, Gili Dewata Transfer, Jul 8, 2026
A 4h trip turn up to be 7 hours. Forget to plan anything after booking this trip, you'll be late for sure.
Our trip was for 10:00 but the transfer arrived late and also picked up people with trips starting at 10:30. Why selling two starting hours to keep people waiting?
To continue, at the check-in point, they make you pay a 30k IDR tax not even mentioned in the voucher. And they tell you to wait untill 13:15, in our case, to go to the boat, in a narrow sidewalk with no room to sit and heavy traffic in front of us. At 13:30 we were still waiting for people that were arriving to do the check-in.
After that they took us to wait another time in the boat terminal. Why couldn't just tell us to wait there, with fans and toilets instead of in the street?
We were supposed to arrived at Gili Meno at 14:00. But at 14:30 the boat was leaving Bali.
Arriving at Gili T, no information was given to disembark to go to a smaller boat. we found out from another passenger who told us.
With no real information about the times, what to do and the mess treating the users. The only thing that you can expect for this journey is that you will eventually arrive at your destination.

Van Private Taxi + Fast Boat, Gili Dewata Transfer, Jul 7, 2026
They stole 4 hours of our vacation
We booked with Gili Dewata Transfer because the schedule promised departure at 10:30 AM and arrival on Gili Trawangan at 1:30 PM. Instead, we were picked up from our hotel at 9:30 AM, supposedly because of traffic. In reality, we were put on a later boat, not the one we had booked.
It feels like they sold us tickets for the earlier departure just to secure the booking, then placed us on whichever boat still had available seats. We finally arrived at 4:40 PM instead of 1:30 PM.
The company stole almost 4 hours of our vacation. Since we only had two days on Gili Trawangan, they effectively ruined half of our first day. Very disappointing experience.

Ferry Fast Boat + Shuttle, Gili Dewata Transfer, Jun 5, 2026
Something went wrong and our names were not on the boat manifest, even though we had purchased the tickets more than 4 days in advance. The boat was full, so they couldn't take us. But, the employees immediately found us another boat with another company to take us, with no issues. The replacement boat got us into Sanur 1.5 hours later than we had been originally scheduled and we ended up spending much more time on the boat than we would have liked, but it all worked out in the end. I only wish that the new timeline could have been communicated to us, but I suspect language issues made that difficult.

Van Shuttle + Fast Boat, Gili Dewata Transfer, Jun 2, 2026
Experience was okay, but more communication about the itinerary would have been helpful. A van picked us up, coordinated by the driver using WhatsApp, and drove us for about an hour and 15 minutes north of the pickup point to another town. We had about 2 hours to look around the town, get lunch, and get on the correct fastboat - there were several leaving from the same port building. Lanyards were provided to help with figuring out which was your boat, but that was it. The fast boat took about an hour. It all worked very well, but just about everything was a surprise. Some communication about the specifics of the itinerary, as I described, would have been welcome.

The Transfer-car arrived almost an hour late to pick us up, and on the way back they wanted to drop us off at a different location than we had been told. The boat left on time and everything went well.

Dangerous company, we’ve (all the people in the boat) asked them the go slower as they were navigating really dangerously. The only thing they did was laugh at all of us and showed us where the plastic bags were to vomit. But no one wanted to vomit we just wanted to survive actually…

The final destination was not the one that was designated. I had to walk a few kilometers because the driver left me somewhere else.

Bus pick up was pretty efficient - told us to meet at coco supermarket for 6:30 to leave at 7, got there at 6:30 and nobody was there! Bus came about 6:50 and there was me and 2 others.
Ferry was older and basic but no issues - they leave you sitting around at the port for over an hour before setting sail.
Getting on the ferry is a free for all and everyone just barges foward

I got very scared when I read the reviews on Google Map about Karuniya Luxury fast cruise, after booking the ticket. But actually it went fine. Boat stopped in Lombok then went to Padang Bai. Taxi drivers were pushy yes but honestly not more than anywhere else. The van left not long after. The only problem was that we booked a drop off at bemo corner in Kuta but the driver dropped us at Ikea and didn't want to hear anything.

The driver arrived on time and was waiting for us, and he picked us up with a name card so that we could easily find him. i strongly recommend it because he kindly provided us with cool water and above all he took us safely and quickly

Esperienza non bellissima sia per il traghetto che per la navetta. Quelle acque sono ventilate e quindi il viaggio in mare non è stato confortevole. Inoltre quando siamo arrivate al porto di Padang bay il servizio di smistamento sulle navette verso la destinazione finale (a noi era Jimbaran) è stata caotica e disorganizzata. Al porto ci sono tante persone che offrono un servizio taxi fornando anche informazioni non veritiere per accaparrarsi i clienti per cui speravo che lo staff di riferimento ci fornisse maggior supporto e avesse una buona organizzazione invece era tutto un po allo sbaraglio. Inoltre, la guida della navetta è stata molto "sportiva" se non abbiamo vomitato è stato per poco. Forse loro sono abituati ad una guida piu aggressiva ma per noi non è stata per niente confortevole. Inoltre il nostro traghetto è stato anticipato di mezz'ora ma ci hanno avvisato tempestivamente ma cumunque siamo arrivate in ritardo alla destinazione finale diversamente da quanto pianificato.

Le trajet a été compliqué. On m’a prévenu la veille au soir que au lieu de partir l’après-midi, mon bateau partirait le matin. Le bateau est dans un plutôt bon état mais navigue très vite donc bouge beaucoup.
Il fait plusieurs arrêts (dont nous n’étions pas au courant) (depuis gili t : gili air et lombok).
Une fois arrivé au port de Padangbai, beaucoup de personnes malhonnêtes vous font croire qu’elles font parties de la compagnie de bateau et veulent vous faire payer davantage pour le trajet, ne pas se faire avoir et aller directement à l’agence si vous avez réservé un transfert. (Pas la faute de la compagnie mais je tenais à le préciser quand même)
Le chauffeur parlait mal anglais, et était malpoli et irrespectueux. Il ne comprenait pas ce que je lui demandais et levait les yeux au ciel et soupirait. S’est même énervé et a commencé à hausser la voix sur moi. A ensuite décidé que le point de dépôt (commun à tous) que nous avions réservé ne serait pas desservi. Nous ne sommes donc pas arrivés à l’endroit où nous étions censés être déposé.
À part ça, le positif est que la Clim dans le bateau fonctionne et pas de fuites d’eau.

De boot was prima, genoeg ruimte en snel. De aankomst in pantai bai is verschrikkelijk met al die taxichauffeurs en verkopers. Men probeert je van alle kanten op te lichten!

Der Transfer mit dem Bus war pünktlich und wir waren frühzeitig am Hafen, die Fahrt mit dem Speedboat war allerdings schrecklich, mehrere Menschen haben sich übergeben, es war eher sehr gefährlich!

No llegue a coger el bus por culpa del barco.
En la oficina de aeropuerto me ofrecieron irme con otro vehículo de otra compañía, ya que el mío saldría 2 horas después.
Pongo 2 estrellas, por el detalle, pero por lo demás no sé
