The trip went very well, despite a slight delay contrary to what had been announced. On the other hand, the seats in the boat are really tight and the air conditioning didn't work.

We left the port of Sanur on time. Our first stop was to be Gili Trawangan and the crossing was to take 3.5 hours (according to 12Asia). Our first stop after half an hour was Nusa Penida, where everyone had to get off the boat. Those who wanted to continue were "parked" somewhere on the jetty in the sun without any further information. After asking several times, we were told that we would wait for a larger boat and then travel to Nusa Lembongan, from there to Lombok and finally to Gili. The boat arrived about an hour later. We drove to Nusa Lembongan and collected more guests, which made the boat incredibly full. There were rows of 4 seats, but the seats are made for very small and narrow people. For this reason, it was very cramped and cozy for the next three hours. There was no air conditioning and the windows had to be closed due to the swell. Fortunately, we drove from Nusa Lembongan directly to Gili, contrary to what the helper in Penida had told us, and reached Gili T 1.5 hours late. At least we arrived safely and at all.

The trip was fine. We left on time. We got to the destination (Gili T) on time but because it was very crowded in the port just boats took a little longer. People who had to go to Gili Air or Gili Meno therefore left a little later.

I was uncertain from what I had read. But leaving from Sanur with them went well. You go to the post, they identify everyone and take you as a group to the port. They met almost perfect with the times and the bags all ok. The seats were comfortable and roomy.

Wanderlust was a very good company to travel from Bali to Gili Islands. We red so many bad experiences from other companies before, so we were very sceptical. In comparation to other experiences we were on time (only 30min plus) and had no other issus. Everybody was kind and we paid way less than for other companies.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
