What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in the morning and driven south towards Padang Bai in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The drive takes roughly 2+ hours depending on your starting point and traffic. Once at the port, you'll board a fast catamaran for the 2+ hour crossing to Gili Trawangan or Gili Air. The boat journey can be choppy; bring seasickness medication if prone. Arrive with time to spare for check-in and port procedures. The entire experience involves waiting periods at the hotel and port, so factor in extra time.
