Imagine an island where the world moves just a little slower. No cars, no crowds — only bicycles, the sound of the sea, and smiling locals. That’s Gili Air — the quietest, most soulful of the three Gili Islands. And the best part? It’s just a short fast boat ride away from Bali. At Bliputu Travel, we make it easy and safe to book your fast boat to Gili Air, with daily departures from Padang Bai, professional boat operators, and full support before, during, and after your journey.
What Makes Gili Air So Special?
While Gili Trawangan draws the party crowd and Gili Meno is ideal for honeymooners, Gili Air strikes the perfect balance. It’s quiet but not boring, peaceful but not isolated. You’ll find stunning snorkeling spots just off the beach, yoga shalas under palm trees, beach cafés with beanbags in the sand, and some of the friendliest islanders you’ll ever meet. With no motorized vehicles, the only sounds you’ll hear are the waves, bike bells, and the occasional horse cart. Whether you want to explore coral reefs or read a book by the sea, Gili Air delivers.
Getting There by Fast Boat
We work with Bali’s best fast boat operators — including Semaya Darmajaya Jet, Eka Jaya Fast Ferry, Wahana Virendra, and Karuniya Luxury 01 — to offer smooth and safe crossings from Padang Bai to Gili Air, with direct and semi-direct routes daily. The crossing takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the boat and weather conditions. Boats usually stop at Gili Trawangan first, followed by Gili Air — so you’ll arrive second, which often means a quieter, more relaxed disembarkation experience.
