Departure and Arrival Ports

1. Padangbai Port (East Bali)

Located in Karangasem Regency, Padangbai is the most common departure point for fast boats heading to Gili Trawangan Port. It’s accessible from Ubud, Candidasa, Amed, and Sidemen. Most fast ferries to Gili depart from here.

2. Sanur Port (South Bali)

Sanur is a well-known departure point for travelers staying in Denpasar, Kuta, Sanur, or Nusa Dua. Although the ferry journey from Sanur may take longer compared to Padangbai, it offers a more convenient option for those based in South Bali.

3. Gili Trawangan Harbor

All fast boats dock directly at the beachside pier on Gili Trawangan. Since there are no motor vehicles on the island, passengers usually walk or take a cidomo (horse cart) to their accommodations.
