How to Get to Bali from Gili Air?
There are several options you can consider to return to Bali after exploring Gili Air. I have traveled around the Gili Islands from Bali many times and will explain several transfer options you can consider:
Ferry: Cheap Option but Slower
This option requires several transfers. The first is to Bangsal Harbor on the Lombok mainland, which takes 25 minutes. Take a taxi or other transportation to the ferry terminal bound for Padangbai Harbor in Bali. It takes around 5-6 hours to arrive in Bali, but you can enjoy the scenery.
Speedboat/Fast Boat
If you are pressed for time, take a speedboat and specify your arrival point in Bali, including Amed or Padangbai. This option is quite popular because it only takes 2-4 hours.(*)
