Ganggari Fast Boat

快艇的空调关闭了，船内变得滚烫

Boat said I was at 1pm didn't leave till gone 3pm have to wait around in the scorching heat on top of that an aparent 1.30 hour journey took 2.30 was pretty fed up by the end of it to say the least.

Well organized. The ride Bali padang bai to Gili T. takes 1,5h.

The Ferry was late. The ferry was hot inside with fans in front only. The windows were to high to see any scenery but the sky. Apart from that is was a good crossing.

Lots of people saying this boat is essentaly, a death trap! My experience was fine. Just go in with low expectations, the boat will be late but you’ve payed hardly anything compared to other boats. Locate the life jackets so you can grab one before everyone else and try to get on the boat first!

They said it would take 2 hours on the website. It took 4 hours and they stopped in two other islands.

Departure were 50min after schedule, and arrival were 2hours after schedule, even though the sea were pretty calm, and almost no wind. But tickets were super-cheap and the check-in people were nice and smiling. Leg-room was normal for these types of boats.

An hour delay and no air inside the boat. Very hot and with turbulences

The smoothest crossing I’ve had. There’s are 100s of people who cross this every day so don’t be put off by the 1 bad review every so often, most people are satisfied just don’t expect luxury. Seats are comfortable and if it’s sunny most people go up top so you can spread out. Don’t be afraid to ask people to close windows if you are getting splashed from the water as this happens. For Gili T it took 1 hour 45 minutes. Top tips: get there at least an hour before scheduled time. Look out for your boat resting away from the dock, as this will give you notice when they approach the dock but generally go to the dock 30 minutes before departure and pay the port tax (little office to the left of the port). It can seem a bit confusing and not well structured but just keep calm and buy some of the freshest fruit I’ve had in Indonesian from one of the lovely ladies selling them. Keep your bags on you I would because for speed they do just chuck them in the luggage compartment.

Expected time to arrive 12:30 real time 15:30.

After reading all the bad reviews I was very worried before my trip. However, it wasn’t that bad. The boat departed 20mins after it was meant to and we arrived over an hour after we were meant to. So just keep this in mind before you book. I got a seat inside but there were others that had to seat outside the cabin. The boat did break down but they quickly fixed it. Overall, not as bad as I thought but also not excellent hahah hope that helps!

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

The boat was a bit late but I was expecting that. Otherwise the journey went well

The boat left the harbour in Padangbai one hour late and we arrived at our destination of Gili Air two and a half hours after the time advertised.

2 hours delay at departure and journey took more than 2 hours instead of one hour as scheduled not enough seats, we bought 4 tickets and only two had a regular seat. Speedboat seemed therefore overbooked No AC, very hot inside the boat

Late, no aircon et bad organisation with the luggage

The journey was an hour longer than advertised (i.e. double the amount of time) and the boat was 30 mins delayed leaving the port. Limited legroom onboard and unable to see out of windows due to them being so high. There were many people sick on this boat (with staff giving out sick bags constantly) so if you’re prone to sea sickness, choose the slower boat over the fast boat.

On time and fast, which is great for a fast boat company.

We have to wait from 1 hour in the Hot son

Overall a good experience. The location on the booking confirmation is incorrect in Padang Bai - instead search on Google Maps and go to the Gangari location. It’s along the beach area. The boat set off around 5 minutes after schedule and we had a nice voyage. Around 70-80 % full, so still good room. Comfortable seats and some aircon/ocean breeze kept it cool in the passenger area. Arrived around 30 minutes after schedule in Gili Trawangan. Recommended.

We arrived 1 hour late but the trip was ok. There was no Aircon in the boat so we had to keep the windows open. I knew I would have to make compromise as I chose the cheapest company. The cruise was good.

Easy to use website, avoid the queue in port. Just make. Sure you exchange e-tiixket with paper one in port.

Everyone warns you about the boats to the Gili islands and you fear horror stories. My experience really wasn’t bad. There was no organised boarding and to begin with lots of people were standing in the cabin, then when the boat left they all went and sat on top deck. There was aircon, it did get quiet hot when we first boarded but once the boat was moving it was a decent temperature. Some spray does come in depending on wind direction but people but close the windows and it’s no issue. The boat left and arrived on time. Bags didn’t take long to come off.
