Bali to Gili Islands Destination Reviews

ER
We left 1 hour late and the travel was longer that said so we arrive 2:30 hours late. Overall not that bad, the see was calm, we were on the top of the boat outside so it was nice and not hot (even tough inside there was no AC) The worst part was waiting in the sun at the harbour before boarding

Boat was late and smelled a lot due to the air fresheners

It was alright! Read all the negative comments, so I have to say I was a bit worried. Yes, the boat was delayed about 45-50 minutes and we arrived 30 minutes later than expected, but that was the worst actually. The check-in was smooth, staff was friendly, and the boat trip was ok.

COMFORTABLE 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

We had a good experience. We checked in and our luggage was labeled for Gili Air. Beware of the fact that you have to pay 10k pp port taxes. Then we could wait at the restaurant and had a lunch. Nothing special, busy, but fine. Around the departure time (13.30) we started walking to the pier. The boat had comfortable seats, the AC didn’t work, so it was quite warm. But free water was available. Some windows could be opened, some not because of the spray. We departed 25 minutes late (13.55), but still arrived around 16.00 at Gili Air. The staff was friendly and the trip was quite fast. If we’ll go again we’ll go with Wahana Virenda.

We left the scooter for 2 days in their parking for a small fee. They are truly professional, and on our way to Gili Trawangan, we arrived 30 minutes earlier than expected. The ride was comfortable with the air conditioning on throughout the journey. All in all, we received excellent service from Whana Virendra.

The trip went well, boat was comfortable and air conditioned. I recommend taking a seasick pill if you’re quite sensitive. Only thing is we left the harbour of Padangbai 45 min late but arrived only 15 min late so overall very good.
