How to get to the Gili Islands from Bali or Lombok?

You can only reach the Gili Islands by boat, as they are not connected by bridges to Lombok or to each other. Main entry points are the airports in Bali or Lombok, from where most tourists arrive to Gili. There are two options: a self-guided route using local transport and ferries, suitable for those with plenty of time and a love for adventure; or ready-made transfers from travel agencies and hotels, which are more convenient and faster—they can be booked online. For example, from Bali, the transfer includes a minivan to the port and a speedboat to Gili, taking about 2-3 hours. From Lombok, it's easier to get there—boats from Bangsal port go to Gili in 15-30 minutes. Scheduled boats run regularly, from 08:00 to 17:00, costing from 40,000 to 50,000 rupiah. If you're traveling for the first time, we recommend transfers—they save you the hassle of transfers.
