Fast Boat Nusa Penida to Gili Trawangan: One-Way Ticket

Cross the strait in two to three hours on a maintained fast boat with an experienced crew.

A one-way fast boat ticket carries you between Nusa Penida and Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, or Bangsal on Lombok. The journey takes two to three hours depending on which islands you're connecting. Boats depart from Buyuk Harbour or Banjar Nyuh Harbour in Nusa Penida, are operated by experienced crews, and carry safety gear. Children from age one are welcome, though infants must sit on an adult's lap.

The experience

Booking a one-way ticket means you pick your route at checkout: Nusa Penida to one of the three destinations, or the reverse. The operator runs two harbours in Nusa Penida (Wijaya Buyuk Fast Boat at Buyuk Harbour and Wanderlust Fast Cruise at Banjar Nyuh Harbour), so confirm which one your ticket departs from when you book. Schedules are flexible, and the crew handles the logistics so you show up and board.

The boats themselves are well-maintained and equipped with safety gear. Experienced crews operate each crossing, which matters on a two- to three-hour open-water run. The crossing can be rough depending on conditions and which route you take, so it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or pregnant travelers. Infants travel free but must sit on an adult's lap. Children from age one onward are welcome at full price.

Public transportation options are available near the harbours if you need to reach them from your accommodation. The ticket covers your seat and the crossing only. Harbour taxes and any hotel transfer are separate. Once you arrive at your destination (whether that's one of the Gili Islands or Bangsal on Lombok), you disembark and continue on your own.

What’s included

• One-way fast boat ticket.
