Everything was alright except for the timing, it was at least 45 mins late to depart and it went to Gili Trawagan, Gili Air before it gets to Bangsal Port, by the time it arrives in Bangsal Port, it was way 1.5 hours later than scheduled. I had to abort part of my scheduled tour

If traveling from Padang bai to Bangsal, the boat stops at Gili trawangan and Gili air first so it delays the arrival time by about 40 minutes. Factor that in.

We had a stop at Gilli T and Gilli air, that was not mentioned. The trip was because of this one hour longer than were it was sold for.

Very poorly organized in the terminal in Bali, late departure. Ferry okay, but poor outlook due to windows very high up from the seats.

Leg space was not the best. The booking details said that there'd be snacks and water provided, but there were no snacks provided. Only a very small (220 ml) bottle of water.

The route from Bali to Lombok: The office in Bali—the staff was very nice, very polite, very efficient. However, I really don’t like situations with a lack of clarity. I asked who would lead me from the office to the port, since I didn’t know the way. I was told in the office that the “service” would take care of me. However, it turned out that simply standing outside the office, the “service” looked like this: there were people, probably arranged with the office, who don’t work for that operator. They just grab your luggage and say they’ll help you, that they’ll lead you to the port. Otherwise, you just don’t know how to get to the port. So it’s either you go and search on your own, like some people did, or you just let yourself get “caught” by this so-called help, and then they’ll indeed take your luggage and lead you to the port. But I emphasize, these are not people who work for the operator. They are just ordinary people from the street. I’d understand if they were dressed in your shirts or with the operator’s name—okay. But these are people just from the street, arranged, who aren’t really a service, but simply begging to earn by leading you with your luggage. That’s one issue. As for the next: the journey itself was fine. Indeed, at the port, there are people who handle the crossing. During the crossing, the staff offered cookies and water, and provided a wet towel to freshen up. I have no complaints about this part. It was actually a very pleasant surprise, and everything was perfectly on time.

Book online to avoid long waiting queues at the pier and ensure your trip goes as planned. While ferry travel may be a real trial for those prone to motion sickness, quite often, it is the only way to reach some of the best island destinations, so get prepared and embark on your adventure!

It may depend on the type of the ship – fast or slow, the route – direct or calling to other piers enroute, and the weather conditions – rains and winds are not the best friends for ferries. Do expect delays or trip cancellations if the weather is stormy or your travel falls on off-season or shoulder season. It is highly advisable not to plan tight onward connections after your ferry trips – even if the weather is good, delays are possible as the sea is always unpredictable.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
