About Golden Queen Fast Boat

While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.

Ferry trips offered by Golden Queen Fast Boat can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Golden Queen Fast Boat Ferry Types & Tickets Prices

High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.

Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
  • Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
  • On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
  • Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
  • Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

We sat on deck and fell asleep! The ride was super comfortable and the check in was easy. However, the staff was a little bit rude to all customers. After our bad experience with Maruti group I definitely recommend Golden Queen!!!

Although the AC was on, the temperature inside was a little high. Other than that no complaints here!

Goldeb queen changed the route without any questions and suggestions. Instead of Seragan bay we came to Padang bay.

There was a strong smell of gasoline in the boat. But Aircon was working. Everything worked but we had better experience in Indonesia than with golden queen.

I already took boats with several companies in Bali and the boat from Golden Queen was the best and the crew is amazing.

The boat left more than 1 hour late and no one could tell us when we would board. Logically we arrived at our destination 1 hour later. I'm not giving it just one star because they let us go on top of the boat and they entertained the trip with music and selling beers all the way.

We were really scared of the harbour because of all the scammer at Padang Bai, because we had a really really bad and rude experience last year arriving there. But the trip going from Padang Bai was well organised. The Golden Queen had A/C and it was in time. It smelled a little to much like petrol. But all in all a hood trip to Gili T.

Unfortunately not the best experience. We left more than one hour late (but that's very much something to expect given the dependency on sea conditions), but i especially didn't like the boat, which was pretty old and didn't feel the safest on choppy sea.

Official time of departure was half hour after the one we booked at 12go Asia. Left actually more than one hour too late. We were not in their list during check in so took them 15 minutes to add us. Boat stoped in the middle of the ocean and the engines were of for five minutes. Arrived at 6 pm instead of 3.30 pm. But the boat was spacious and good AC.

The staff were helpful from start to finish. The boat left on time from Bangsal pier to Padang Bai and the journey was smooth. We were able to sit on the sun in the roof and the staff were selling beers and drinks too. There was a few waves and bumpy patches for around 5 mins but apart from that the boat was so smooth.

Overall this was good value for the money. The people from Golden Queen did a good job telling you were to go and told us where to pay the harbor fee that was not included in the ticket. Everything was on time, even arrived 15 minutes earlier to Bangsal Pier. No air condition in the boat, so it was a bit warm. The boat was full, but the seats were quite big so no problem.

It was a great ride! The staff was friendly and helpful, the captain took it very chill. And there was enough space on the boat. The staff made sure everyone was happy and had a good time. Would recommend!

There were not enough seats inside for all passengers, there were some “seats” outside, under the sun. Thankfully there was no rain that day.

Poor service, treated us more like cattles. No correct prices from Gili Air to Gili Meno.

Good enough! The bar seems to be pretty low for a lot of these fast boat companies. But I thought Golden Queen was pretty good. The ocean was pretty calm, so that helped. The boat was timely and comfortable enough. AC was running, not truly cold, but mostly just keeping the cabin from being too hot. People can sit up top, which helps spread people out so the cabin doesn't feel over-packed. Some people get upset about the additional 10,000k harbor fee (so cheap that I can't imagine being upset about that). However, paying the tax was a little unclear. From the Golden Queen check-in office, a Golden Queen employee told us to follow him to the dock, and then turns around and is like "do you have your receipt for the harbor fee?". And everyone is like no, wtf is that, I just followed you here. He then points in a general direction to go pay the fee. Making everyone feel stupid and confused. So that part was a little misstep in the process that could be fixed easily. Only complaint of the boat would be the gasoline smell in the cabin, but it got better once the boat was moving. And maybe turn the AC colder by a little bit.

No departure from Senggigi but from Bangsal, so requiered a car trip with Friendly driver. Boattrip was awful. Extreme loud, pounding low quality music that caused all passengers ear damage. We asked the staff to turned the volume a bit down and they arrogantly answered that this wasnt a sleeping boat and continued smoking their sigarettes. I recommend you to travel by boat with Gili Getaway. They are friendly, calm, comfortable seats, and serve cold water and linen cold refreshment towels before arriving. Golden Queen serves drunk young touristst better.

Suppose to depart from Senggigi pier but the staff from Golden Queen Boat sent an whatsapp to inform us that the depart location has changed to Bangsal port instead with a free pickup transport from our hotel. After reaching Padang Bai Port, together with 2 guys from Germany, we set off in a van to our respective drop off locations(hotels). Our tickets clearly stated that we will have a free transport to our hotel, but the driver insisted on collecting 100,000 rupiah from us if we want to be drop off at our hotel. We rejected and he dropped us at central ubud in the end.
