About This Route

The Padang Bai to Gili Islands fast ferry is the most popular route connecting East Bali with the idyllic Gili archipelago — Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. Departing from Padang Bai Harbour (approximately 1.5 hours' drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport), the Semaya One fast boat makes the crossing in just 90 minutes, delivering you to crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and world-class snorkelling.


Padang Bai is Bali's primary harbour for Lombok- and Gili-bound fast boats. It's easily reachable from Ubud (~1 hour), Candidasa (~10 minutes), and the Denpasar/Sanur area (~45 minutes). Many travellers combine a stay in Ubud or the Sidemen Valley with a ferry to the Gilis, making this a natural and scenic departure point.


All tickets booked through BaliGoat include harbour tax, luggage allowance (one suitcase + one carry-on per passenger), and third-party insurance. Instant e-tickets are delivered to your email — just show your phone at check-in.
