GOOD OVERALL EXPERIENCE 👍

Sanur to Gili Trawangan, Ferry Standard Class, Starfish Fast Boat, Aug 2, 2026

Joyous T

Booked under Idola Express operator company, arrived at the office at Sanur and was sent to the Sanur port but the boat was delayed about 1 hour. When boarding, the boat name was SemayaOne instead. Boat was poorly maintained, dirty and smelly. Made multiple stops at Nusa Penida, Lombok and Gilis. At one point it was overloaded that some passengers had to stand up or sit on the floor. Operators were rude, shouting and rushing passenger off when their announcement of the stop name is unclear and passenger is asking for more clarification. On the app stated 4 hours to reach Gili, but it actually took 6 hours.

Communication with the company and driver was very good. He was on time to pick us up. There was a very long wait at Padang Bay for the boat. We were sure it would be a big boat from the pictures. But it was a small boat. We arrived safely and securely at the islands. It was all fine in the end

The only negative was that the boat had a strong smell of petrol in the cabine.

Information and directions at side are hard to get, one piece of luggage got wet (soaked!), seat numbering is given but ignored. Delay was appropriate, no extra charge for extended luggage, friendly staff on the boat.

Experience was okay, but more communication about the itinerary would have been helpful. A van picked us up, coordinated by the driver using WhatsApp, and drove us for about an hour and 15 minutes north of the pickup point to another town. We had about 2 hours to look around the town, get lunch, and get on the correct fastboat - there were several leaving from the same port building. Lanyards were provided to help with figuring out which was your boat, but that was it. The fast boat took about an hour. It all worked very well, but just about everything was a surprise. Some communication about the specifics of the itinerary, as I described, would have been welcome.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
