About Gili Getaway

To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Gili Getaway offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Main Stations of Gili Getaway?

Gili Getaway ferries travel to a number of popular destinations. The list of the stations serviced by Gili Getaway includes but is not limited to:

  • Gili Trawangan Pier
  • Gili Air
  • Serangan Pier Gili Getaway
  • Bangsal Pier
  • Gili Gede
  • Buyuk Harbor

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Gili Getaway?

The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.

Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
  • Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
  • Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
  • Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
  • Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Gili Getaway Company Reviews

J
Everything was perfect! Truly a first class boat.
Ferry High Speed Ferry, Gili Getaway, Sep 30, 2023
H M
Honestly it was good, i don’t understand bad reviews on this company. I got picked up on time, staff was helpful and friendly, boat was on time, everything was good. It’s more expensive that other fast boats but honestly it is worth paying a little more for what we got with this company. I’ve traveled with others before and this is the best one so far. I get that fast boat rides can be a little scary and reckless for people not used to them, but the staff know what they are doing. I recommend!

The boat was very nice, we sat on the top open air deck and very much enjoyed the journey. Beach towels, sunscreen, and a cold towel at the end of the trip was provided. The crew was also super friendly.

Super friendly staff, only 15 mins late to gilli t. Deeply regret taking gili gili back .. gili getaway was well worth the extra cost

Although the route was changed at short notice, I arrived safely and was given a free lunch due to the "inconvenience". Arrived as stated and friendly quick email contact

Hard to judge this time. Reason for that is that the government of Lombok introduced a stupid rule which makes your travel a bit more unpleasant. This particular rule says that fast boat agencies are only allwoedto drop of passengers e.g. on gili island but not to pick up. Which means, if you want to go back to Bali, you first have to travel Lombok and then continue to Bali. Which is just stupid and customer unfriendly. Nevertheless Gili Getaway provided sufficient information on how to go back to. Overall the communication and actual travel was good. Though the sea was rough as hell.

When we opened our suitcase in the hotel after our boat ride, everything was wet. It definitly happened on the boat ride, because the luggage was stored in the front of the boat. Very unfortunate. The boat transfer itself was beside this very nice.

Paid extra for direct trip from Nusa Penida to Gili T as it was advertised and ended up making 2 stops before Gili T.

The boat glided along the surface of the sea with ease and without rocking. Pillows are available. There was also a hand towel service.

Service was top notch despite the very choppy waters we faced on the waters - resulting in me puking quite a bit on the boat. The boat is generally very clean. The crew provided cold towels , vomit bags and ensured we are alright . Toilet on the boat was kept very clean too.

Rough sea made the trip extremely bumpy. High windows made difficult to look outside to reduce the sea-sick feeling. On-board crew extremely kind and professional. All in all a good service... but a pretty bumpy uncomfortable 2,5h trip.

All very well. Very well organized the arrival at the port with the cabs. During the trip we were given water, candies and a cold towel.
