About Ostina 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. Ostina 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 Ostina 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.

Horatiu AVery friendly crew, but the AC is hardly working and they don't respect the schedule (we were 30+ minutes late when leaving). The price is a little bit lower than average.

Piers RTerrible organisation and long waits at the port on both ends
Crossing was quite pleasant but I'd advise wearing extra sun cream as you don't feel the heat with the sea breeze and AC on.

Oliver SThe trip was fine altogether although it does state arrival at 10am, however the ferry doesn’t leave until 9.30 on the sign in the shop, however we didn’t leave until gone 10.30am and takes roughly 2 hours. Was safe and it was slightly unorganised chaos but we did have lanyards so that made it slightly easier

Camille RThe pick up with the van at 6h30 in kuta was perfect. Arrived at 8h at the port. Boarding at 9h40 (no 9h). Arriving at 12h30 at the gili T. The boat was good, good AC, and they put music on the outside if you want chill on the top of the boat. It's a lie when they said that you arrive at 9h30, you will arrive 3/4 hours after that time. Don't pay for a shuttle to go from your place to the port because they have free shuttle !!!

Roxana NThe pickup worked great for this I would give 5 stars. The journey itself was also no problem. We were at the pier around 8. I booked exactly this transportation because it said I would be in Lombok at 9:30. But then I was very rude to learn that our boat would not leave before 10 am and that we would actually arrive in Lombok at 1:30 pm. I find that 4 hours later than it said on my ticket very cheeky. It's not a problem if everything takes longer, but then the ticket and the information should also include the correct times. We were at the pier in Bali at 8 a.m. - if the boat had left promptly, we would have been in Lombok around 9:30-10. At this point we had only just left Bali. Unfortunately, this is the first time I have given a negative and detailed review. When I asked why the wrong information was being sold on the ticket, I was made to feel very stupid and was told in an unfriendly way that I could stay if the times didn't suit me.

Leon RIt was a really good and i was surprised how smooth everything went! The driver picked us up at 6.50am and drove us to the harbour. We got our boarding passes and they tell us when we leave. There is a fee at the harbour and one on the island. The boat wasnt really fast but it was alright. At some point i saw a butterfly and could observe it! On the site they said 7 to 10 but we arrived at 1.30 to Gili Air. The rest was really good!

Bhanupriya GCOMFORTABLE RIDE!! .. There definitely was a delay to start off (which is usually the case with almost every boat you take for Gili islands) . But unexpectedly, the boat ride was good and comfortable. Boat has Ac so it was a good temperature inside. People allowed to go on the top to enjoy the view. Overall apart from the ever long wait and boarding experience at the Padang Bai port , a good experience with this ride

Micaela BWhen we checked in we were given the boarding pass with another company called ganggari. The truth is that the boat did not move too much and arrived and departed on time. The only thing was that there were people standing still.

Joana FThe transfer to the pier was ok, but no belts. The trip from the pier to gili air was awfull. I have been in other speed boats but this one was the worst! It seemed like it was going to split in 2. Do not recommend.
Time of arrival at gili was almost 3 hours later.

Chloe BWe arrived where we wanted to go, so that's fine.
Just pay attention that your taxi transfer is included. On the pdf ticket it was written "transfer included" but, they still wanted to make us pay 500.000 for a pickup (???!). Our bus-taxu otherwise was really nice.
Then, be ready also to add 10.000 at the harbour for an creative "harbour fee" + 10.000/pax for another creative "island entrance fee".

Waldemar KChaotic but looks like it works. Why isn't the process described anywhere? 1. You go to the operator stand with the voucher, where you get a boarding pass. A little tip: look for a sticker for your luggage with the corresponding port of destination. These are essentially behind. 2. You pay the fee for the port and get a receipt with which you can now enter the platform together with the boarding pass. 3. chaos ensues on the climb. However, you should look at your boarding pass, there the ship is shown with a picture that you drive with your name. This is what you are looking for in the harbor. It's either already on the pier or still on the right in the harbour. You can also team up with others with the appropriate color boarding pass. 4. When the ship is there you put down the big luggage (the crewe often says which pile is for which port of destination) but if you have a sticker on your luggage you don't have to worry as much. And the luggage is not unnecessarily loaded and unloaded. 5. the ships are always crowded. The best spots aren't upstairs where the sun is beating down. I found front of ship or doors (if left open) best, depends on ship. With some you can be in the open shade at the back. 6. At the port of destination, the luggage is unloaded with the stickers or those lying on the appropriate heap. 7. Always expect a delay due to baggage chaos at each port.

Johan HI was expecting the worst after reading several reviews. But was fine. Seats for everyone. Good air conditioning.
When redeeming voucher bought online, in office they tried to give me tickets for a different (smaller) boat. When I found this out I still got the good one.

Anne MInstead of beeing there at the scheduled time between 6 - 6:30 am, the pick-up service arrived at 7:20 am. I was just informed 5 minutes before his arrival, that he will arrive.
The information and organisation at Padang Bai was absolutely chaotic. There is no guidance and no help at all. The crew of one boat even gave us false information.

Janneke VIt was a good experience to me! Clear communication with the bus driver about the pick up time. It took us a bit over two hours from Canggu to the port (Padangbai). After a bit of waiting, the boat took us to Gili Air in approx. two hours (with a short stop on Gili T to let people on/off). I was happy to sit on top of the boat, to enjoy the beautiful views and sun.

Franziska MThe taxi ride from Uluwatu to Padang Bai was great. BUT the organization at the harbor was poor!! There was no information about what time the boat leaves and what boat to take. I only received information about the departure time from my taxi driver, however we left the harbor with 1,5 hours delay... That was due to an overbooking of the first boat for Gili T, so the guests from Gili Air and Lombok had to wait for a second boat. Moreover, as we arrived to Gili T, we had to wait like 30 min until we could drive in the harbor as there were too many boats at the pier. The waves were quite high, so that was not funny. The boat trip itself was OK, due to the poor organization I cannot give more stars.
Side note: My original trip was canceled due to a lack of authorization from Padang Bai and I was supposed to get a refund or postponement of the trip. I tried to reach out several times to 12Go for that matter and they promised to check with Ostina and get back. I have not received any response from them for one week... Despite the good experience in the past, the assistance from 12Go this time was quite disappointing!

Eduardo RThe trip was comfortable, but it takes more than twice the time announced. The expected time to arrive to Gili is actually the time you get to the port in Bali. It wasn't a delay, the schedule is just wrong.
After the 3 hour van trip, you have to wait in the port for more than an hour and then take a 3 hour ferry.

Muejde UDue to bad weather a lot of boats were canceled and we were kind of afraid. So we booked our boat with driver via 12go asia and the Service was great we got an e-mail in advance that they will bring us to a different port. The driver was very friendly and on time. At the port he showed us where we get the Tickets. The Boat was ok. It‘s a long ride and the best thing to do is to sleep. Believe me. There is not much space for your legs and two days later i sadly have still a numb feeling on my knee…

Luren CA car picked the 2 of us at 7:30am in our hotel in Kuta. We traveled comfortably to the port in Padangbai. Our ferry left at 10:15am approx, the captain explained that 7 companies are to leave at 9:30 everyday so there’s always a boat waiting for others to depart. The boat ride lasted almost 2h, waves weren’t too bad and almost everyone slept, there were more than enough seats. We had heard horror stories of the entire boat puking because of harsh winds/waves, but luckily the morning seems to be quieter. I recommend this company.

MARCIA DMaybe I was extremely lucky, maybe they're changing for the better but my experience was good.
They picked me up at the hotel on time, the van was comfortable, the driver was nice.
Then we got to the harbor and everyone got numbered lanyards.
We did leave 45 minutes late but the boat was comfortable. I sat in front and could feel the ac (it was loud. Noise-canceling headphones help).
It took us 1:54 minutes from Bali to Gili T.
They even explained about a scam where people try to talk you out of the free transfer and told us to go straight to their offices to arrange the shuttle.
Some things to note:
I saw many people having entire breakfasts in line and then throwing up. It's a speed boat. It will be a rough ride even on a sunny day. Bring your own plastic bag if you're prone to being seasick.
Waiting for the luggage was the most chaotic part. Oh and also having to pay two fees (one leaving Bali and another arriving in Gili).
There's a banner explaining that people who take the shuttle to Sanur, Kuta, and Seminyak can be dropped at their hotels. For every other destination, they'll leave you at the city center.

Patrick M1.5 hour late and then the boat broke down for an hour in the middle of the trip. Boat was overbooked so there were 20+ people standing for 3 hours from gilinair to Padang Bai Bali. Boats AC barely worked and the boat has no windows. Thermostat said 31 the whole time.
When we got to Bali all the Ostina Transport people were lying and saying the trip takes 4 hours and you need to take a taxi. Ignore everyone just sit in the free van and eventually they will give up and take you. Driver refused to drop people off at their hotels and only stopped at central Ubud Shuttle bus also had no AC. 2 stars because we didn't crash and they were able to fix the boat.

Olga KWhen we got to the pier, we got told that they overbooked our ferry, and we had to go to another company to get a seat. After a bit of a wait, we got that sorted out. However, when we got to Padang Bay, we were told that we had to wait at least 1 hour for a shuttle bus. Mind you, at this point it was about 14:15, and on the tickets we bought, it said we would be in Ubud at 15. We know that a delay is very common here in Bali. We did not, however, expect what the app called “taxi” to be a shuttle bus that we had to wait more than an hour to get on. After explaining the situation multiple times to the worker, they put us in a car to Ubud. The drive was fine, but the driver did not drop us off at our hotel. He dropped us off mid-town and we had to get a grab to our actual hotel..

Millie SCompletely my fault, but they changed the taxi pick up time from 7:30am to 6:30am, and had told me this in a email the night before, however I did not read this email! So completely missed the taxi and boat, as once I had made my own way there, the boat company was nowhere to be seen.
Would recommend the boat I used ‘Scoopy’ good service with a spacious boat! I’m sure they are good as well, but just check your emails next time!

Leonie MThe ferry departed 40 minutes delayed. But that’s an organization problem they told us, because there are many ferries that depart at the same time but there is not enough space at the harbour for all boats. The boat ride was smooth, the seats were comfy and most of the time the aircon worked. The first stop was Gili Trawangan, after that gili air and the last stop was lombok. The boat ride took in total 2,5h instead of 1:45 plus the 40 minutes delayed departure.
All in all it’s one of the better ferries I think.

Josefina NThe driver was on time and took us to the boat agency in Padang bai with no issues at all. Then the boat was meant to leave at 9:30am, but we left closer to 11.00am. From what we could hear at the harbour was that Ostina is always late. The boat was ok, not much movement as the sea was calm, however, no windows, they were covered and you couldn’t see outside, and aircon only worked for those sitting on the first row, so it was very warm inside without air. Everything with 12go worked well :).

Boat itself came with decent legroom comparing to others, but it was unbearably hot inside. A/C was barely working, and windows can't be opened. Avoid if you can't stand excessive heat, but it wasn't the worst experience around here.
