Gili Air to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

Staff were good but the ride was so scary. The water was very choppy and wavy making the boat wobble and shake so much. I thought the boat would flip over.

Great fastboat company. Easy ride and fully air conditioning. The voucher need to be claimed and change to the necklace boarding pass and need to give it to the staff before going onboard. Will use this fastboat again

Not confortable and no space for legs, worst than in a low cost flight. Someone at the shop for the checkin didn't tell us that we have to buy the tax ticket at the harbour, so we lost time when she boat has arrived

The boat left on time and I really had the impression that the boat was very safe. The boat was not crowded and the ride from Gili Air to Nusa Penida was very comfortable. They showed the movie Kung-Fu Panda. I would definitely go with this company again.

The company and the boat trip was ok but we never arrived at the port we were supposed to but another more far away from our hotel. Our reservation and voucher indicated Nyuh Harbour but we arrived at Buyuk Harbour. So yeah disappointed.

We boarding the boat 15 minutes before the departure time. We get a free mineral water onboard as compliment. The staff is very friendly and helpful to me as I bring a big luggage. Arrive in Nusa Penida in their facility. It was a good facility overall. Really recommend 👍

Get ready for the rollercoaster.. Our boat was fast, clean, people were nice and helpful. It was also a pretty bumpy ride from Gili Air to Nusa Penida. Sitting outside is fun, but in some parts of the trip very splashy.
