What to expect
You'll be collected by private car and driven to Padang Bay, where you board the fast boat to Gili Trawangan. The ferry crossing itself involves decent sea conditions, so the boat rocks moderately—expect 1.5 to 2 hours on water. Onboard facilities include a toilet and basic seating. Upon arrival in Gili Trawangan, you disembark independently; there's no hotel shuttle included. The entire day involves travel rather than activities, so bring a book or downloaded entertainment. Travellers with back problems, pregnancy, or weak hearts should reconsider.
Good to know
Book accommodation on Gili Trawangan in advance; pickup isn't included. Bring water, sunscreen, and medication if needed. Arrive early for the car pickup to avoid delays. Snorkelling gear isn't supplied—hire or bring your own. The journey is physically demanding; moderate fitness is essential.
