A gentle sea breeze brushing your face, the rhythmic sound of waves beneath your feet, and the silhouette of a tropical island appearing on the horizon. That’s when you know — your dream vacation has begun. Getting to the Gili Islands or Lombok no longer requires long, tiring overland journeys. With a premium fast boat from Padang Bai, Bali, you can cross the sea in comfort, speed, and style — arriving refreshed and ready to explore.
Why Padang Bai?
Nestled on the east coast of Bali, Padang Bai isn’t just a port — it’s a charming coastal village surrounded by natural beauty. While waiting for your boat, dip into the crystal-clear waters of Blue Lagoon Beach, a hidden gem perfect for snorkeling, or savor fresh seafood at a local warung by the shore.
Best of all, Padang Bai is easy to reach:
- 1.5 hours from Ubud
- 2 hours from Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu
- 45 minutes from Sidemen or East Bali
This is the perfect gateway to the tropical islands across the sea.
Discover Gili Trawangan & Lombok: More Than a Vacation
When you arrive at Gili Trawangan, time slows down. No motorbikes, no cars — just bicycles, horse-drawn carts (called cidomo), and the soothing soundtrack of waves.
Spend your days snorkeling with turtles, cycling around the island, or lounging on beanbags with a fresh coconut in hand. As night falls, the island transforms with beach BBQs, live music, and epic sunsets that paint the sky. Prefer a quieter vibe? Gili Air offers a peaceful retreat perfect for couples and solo travelers.
Looking for adventure? Lombok is your next stop, with its stunning beaches like Selong Belanak and Tanjung Aan, the majestic Mount Rinjani, and vibrant Sasak culture that welcomes you with open arms. This isn’t just a trip. It’s a journey into paradise.
