Fast boat from Padang Bai to Lombok and the Gilis

Ombak Gili Express is a new Indonesian owned fast boat company that started in early 2014 and is now operated out of Padang harbour in east Bali.  The main difference between Ombak Gili and many of the other fast boat companies is that they leave from Gili Trawangan early in the morning heading back to Bali.

During peak season months they also have a second run with a late departure from Bali in the afternoon heading over to Gili. They also have one of the newest boats meaning everything is in great condition.

Ombak Gili Express departs from Lombok at 08:00 in the morning and heads to Gili Air to pick up passengers, it then heads to Gili Trawangan.  Lombok to Gili Air and Gili Air to Gili Trawangan is a very short trip that takes about 5 minutes.  In Gili Trawangan they pick up passengers and then depart at 09:00. The crossing to Padang Bai takes about 1 1/2 hours in normal sea conditions from Gili Trawangan, slightly longer if the weather isn't great, arriving in Padang Bai at 10:30, which is about a 90 minute drive from Kuta area.  Free hotel transfers are included to most areas in South West Bali, see here for more information about free hotel transfer. Note: hotel transfers are not included in Lombok or the Gili Islands. Returning from Bali to Gili the fast boat then leaves from Padang Bai harbour at 11:30 and goes directly to Gili Trawangan to drop off passengers before heading to Gili Air and Lombok.  Arrival in Gili Trawangan is 13:00 - 13:15, arrival in Lombok is about 30 minutes later.

NOTE: During high season this boat sometimes makes a second run in the afternoon.  See this page for information about the late departure to the Gilis.

All passengers are allowed 25kg of lugguage and a carry on bag, although its not a strict rule
