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. Wahana Virendra 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 Wahana Virendra?
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.

The ticket was for **Gili Air**, but we were unexpectedly dropped off in **Lombok** instead. From there, we were transferred to Gili Air on a small boat that **did not meet even basic standards of comfort and safety**.
The whole experience was poorly organised and very disappointing. **I would not recommend this operator.**

The ship itself was good. However, getting off the ship was an absolute nightmare. There were way too many people at the landing stage, and it was not well communicated where the luggage was.
The worst part was that we hadn’t even left the ship yet, and there were already so many people offering taxis while we were still trying to find each other and locate our luggage. People were also directly holding flyers in our faces as we were getting off. Extremely intrusive.
I have never experienced anything similar. Complete chaos.

The boat was delayed by two hours, and we received no explanation, no apology, and no compensation whatsoever from Wahana Virendra.
On top of that, the journey itself took approximately three hours instead of the two hours and fifteen minutes advertised on the website. We were supposed to arrive in Gili Air at 3:15 PM, but we eventually arrived at 7:00 PM. We therefore lost an entire afternoon, which seriously disrupted all of our plans.
What is even more disappointing is that there seems to be no way to request a refund or even contact 12Go to obtain any compensation for this major delay and the inconvenience caused.
This is completely unacceptable, especially considering the lack of communication and customer service from the company.
The only positive point was that the boat itself was relatively comfortable.

The fastboat was 1.5 Hours Belated and took nearly 3 Hours instead of 1.5 Hours like announced. The shared Van was a bus with another dozen people, which took a longer way via Ubud, what would have been for us a two hours longer ride to the Airport what made us book a grab and we had the additional costs for that.

Extremely unhappy with our experience with Wahana.
We booked a round trip to Gili Air. The evening before departure, at 8:00 PM, the company informed us that the trip had been moved up by two and a half hours due to the afternoon weather forecast. Despite some difficulty, we managed to make it for the new departure time.
The return trip was far worse. The boat was scheduled for 3:30 PM.
At 6:30 AM, we received an email stating that the boat had been moved up to 10:30 AM (requiring us to be at the port by 9:30 AM)—a full five hours earlier!
Naturally, we were asleep at 6:30 AM, so we didn't see the message and missed the boat.
Our subsequent interactions with the company were of no help at all. They offered no solutions and were very slow to respond.
We had to find a solution ourselves and scramble to book with another company—which, ironically, ended up running two hours late...
During the return, the sea was very calm and we had no issues, so we don't understand the reason for the schedule changes.
I’m giving two stars because the boat itself was comfortable.
I do not recommend them.

Très déçue par cette compagnie.
À l’origine, nous avions réservé un bateau au départ de Gili Air à 10 h, avec une arrivée prévue à Padang Bai vers midi. C’était précisément pour cette raison que nous avions choisi cette compagnie : nous souhaitions arriver suffisamment tôt à Seminyak pour profiter de notre première journée.
Quelques jours avant notre retour, nous avons été informées que notre arrivée serait finalement déplacée de Padang Bai à Serangan en raison d’une cérémonie traditionnelle prévue le 7 août. Je comprends parfaitement qu’une telle cérémonie puisse entraîner la fermeture du port. En revanche, puisqu’il s’agit d’un événement planifié et connu à l’avance, nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi cette modification ne nous a été communiquée qu’à la dernière minute. Si nous avions été informées plus tôt, nous aurions choisi une autre compagnie ou organisé notre voyage différemment.
En plus du changement de port, notre départ a été repoussé à 12 h. Nous avons dû nous présenter une heure avant pour l’enregistrement, mais le bateau est finalement parti avec un important retard, vers 14 h.
À bord, il y avait beaucoup trop de passagers. Le bateau était tellement rempli qu’il n’y avait même pas assez de places assises pour tout le monde, ce qui est inacceptable pour une traversée de plusieurs heures.
À notre arrivée à Serangan, les difficultés ont continué. Personne ne nous avait informées que les Grab n’étaient pas autorisés à accéder directement au port. Si nous l’avions su, nous aurions réservé un taxi privé à l’avance. Au lieu de cela, nous avons dû marcher environ 1,5 km sous une chaleur étouffante avec de lourdes valises, dont une avec une roue cassée, jusqu’à la zone où les Grab pouvaient venir nous chercher. Une fois arrivées, il y avait énormément de monde et nous avons encore dû attendre très longtemps avant de pouvoir obtenir un véhicule.
Le plus frustrant est que nous avions réservé une magnifique villa à Seminyak afin de profiter de la piscine et de nous reposer après plusieurs jours d’excursions très intenses. Nous devions initialement arriver vers midi, mais, à cause de tous ces changements et de ces retards, nous ne sommes arrivées à notre hôtel qu’aux alentours de 20 h. Nous avons donc perdu une journée entière de vacances ainsi qu’une journée d’hôtel que nous.
L’organisation a été très décevante. Une meilleure anticipation, une communication plus transparente et des informations pratiques sur l’arrivée à Serangan auraient évité beaucoup de stress et de désagréments.

I took a shared taxi and fast boat package. Everything went well but there was still a delay of 30 minutes to reach Gili T which was absolutely okay for me as the journey was smooth and comfortable. I will definitely recommend them. I took Vahana Virendra fast boat. They also had seats on the top which is nice for some fresh air. I liked the over all experience and will definitely choose them again.

Very comfortable journey. The boat was new and clean and the staff were very friendly. After the boat ride we had an ongoing journey via shuttle bus to Ubud. The transport was very quickly arranged as soon as we reported to the Wahana office in Padang Bai, but before that we were almost convinced to take another transport (at extra cost) by some people waiting at the port. So our advice is: go immediately to the Wahana office in Padang Bai (and ask the boat staff where it is) if you have ongoing transport booked.

Incredibly easy and safe trip - I highly recommend booking through these guys. Firstly when you go to their office to wait to board there’s an amazing cafe and the whole check in process is very smooth. Then the boat looks basically brand new and is extremely comfortable. You will go to the islands before Lombok so it will be a 3 hour journey to Lombok depending on weather. You also need to pay the island tax at check in - you are not being scammed, don’t complain just pay it. Overall everything was very easy to navigate and safe, I’d very much recommend.

Journey with the boat was very comfortable and a bout condition is very well. But waiting time before boat ride was extremely long and uncomfortable. 13:15 was a ride time, we were transferred to other smaller room which was way too small for such a big crowd of travellers and without informing us about situation we were forced to sit there and sweat for more than an hour. I am not spoiled, but it was a tough hour.
