About Golden Queen Fast Boat

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. Golden Queen Fast Boat offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Golden Queen Fast Boat?

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.

Ferry Speedboat, Golden Queen Fast Boat, Apr 29, 2024
Very good! At first it seems a bit busy on the boat, but on the top it was very nice in the sun and the air. You can not buy drinks on the boat only beer… but we arrived within 2 hours so it was fine. Boat also arrived on schedule so very nice.

We sat on deck and fell asleep! The ride was super comfortable and the check in was easy. However, the staff was a little bit rude to all customers. After our bad experience with Maruti group I definitely recommend Golden Queen!!!

Although the AC was on, the temperature inside was a little high. Other than that no complaints here!

There was a strong smell of gasoline in the boat. But Aircon was working. Everything worked but we had better experience in Indonesia than with golden queen.

The boat left more than 1 hour late and no one could tell us when we would board. Logically we arrived at our destination 1 hour later. I'm not giving it just one star because they let us go on top of the boat and they entertained the trip with music and selling beers all the way.

We were really scared of the harbour because of all the scammer at Padang Bai, because we had a really really bad and rude experience last year arriving there. But the trip going from Padang Bai was well organised. The Golden Queen had A/C and it was in time. It smelled a little to much like petrol. But all in all a hood trip to Gili T.

Unfortunately not the best experience. We left more than one hour late (but that's very much something to expect given the dependency on sea conditions), but i especially didn't like the boat, which was pretty old and didn't feel the safest on choppy sea.

Official time of departure was half hour after the one we booked at 12go Asia. Left actually more than one hour too late. We were not in their list during check in so took them 15 minutes to add us. Boat stoped in the middle of the ocean and the engines were of for five minutes. Arrived at 6 pm instead of 3.30 pm. But the boat was spacious and good AC.

The staff were helpful from start to finish. The boat left on time from Bangsal pier to Padang Bai and the journey was smooth. We were able to sit on the sun in the roof and the staff were selling beers and drinks too. There was a few waves and bumpy patches for around 5 mins but apart from that the boat was so smooth.

Overall this was good value for the money. The people from Golden Queen did a good job telling you were to go and told us where to pay the harbor fee that was not included in the ticket. Everything was on time, even arrived 15 minutes earlier to Bangsal Pier. No air condition in the boat, so it was a bit warm. The boat was full, but the seats were quite big so no problem.

It was a great ride! The staff was friendly and helpful, the captain took it very chill. And there was enough space on the boat. The staff made sure everyone was happy and had a good time. Would recommend!

There were not enough seats inside for all passengers, there were some “seats” outside, under the sun. Thankfully there was no rain that day.

Good enough! The bar seems to be pretty low for a lot of these fast boat companies. But I thought Golden Queen was pretty good. The ocean was pretty calm, so that helped. The boat was timely and comfortable enough. AC was running, not truly cold, but mostly just keeping the cabin from being too hot. People can sit up top, which helps spread people out so the cabin doesn't feel over-packed. Some people get upset about the additional 10,000k harbor fee (so cheap that I can't imagine being upset about that). However, paying the tax was a little unclear. From the Golden Queen check-in office, a Golden Queen employee told us to follow him to the dock, and then turns around and is like "do you have your receipt for the harbor fee?". And everyone is like no, wtf is that, I just followed you here. He then points in a general direction to go pay the fee. Making everyone feel stupid and confused. So that part was a little misstep in the process that could be fixed easily. Only complaint of the boat would be the gasoline smell in the cabin, but it got better once the boat was moving. And maybe turn the AC colder by a little bit.

No departure from Senggigi but from Bangsal, so requiered a car trip with Friendly driver. Boattrip was awful. Extreme loud, pounding low quality music that caused all passengers ear damage. We asked the staff to turned the volume a bit down and they arrogantly answered that this wasnt a sleeping boat and continued smoking their sigarettes. I recommend you to travel by boat with Gili Getaway. They are friendly, calm, comfortable seats, and serve cold water and linen cold refreshment towels before arriving. Golden Queen serves drunk young touristst better.

Suppose to depart from Senggigi pier but the staff from Golden Queen Boat sent an whatsapp to inform us that the depart location has changed to Bangsal port instead with a free pickup transport from our hotel. After reaching Padang Bai Port, together with 2 guys from Germany, we set off in a van to our respective drop off locations(hotels). Our tickets clearly stated that we will have a free transport to our hotel, but the driver insisted on collecting 100,000 rupiah from us if we want to be drop off at our hotel. We rejected and he dropped us at central ubud in the end.
