The boat departs Gili Trawangan and makes short stops at Gili Meno and Gili Air to pick up passengers before heading to Lombok, then crossing open water to Padangbai Port on Bali's east coast. The speedboat is built from lightweight aluminum and designed to handle challenging water conditions, which means the crossing runs on schedule even when the strait is rough.
