Tips for the Bali to Gili Air crossing
- Arrive at the Bali harbour at least 30 minutes before departure to check in and swap your e-ticket for a boarding ticket.
- Sea conditions in the Lombok Strait are usually calmest in the morning — earlier departures tend to be the smoothest.
- Pack a light jacket and a dry bag: fast boats are breezy and the deck can get a little spray.
- Most operators include one main piece of luggage plus a cabin bag per person. Surfboards and oversized bags may carry a small fee.
- Bring a valid passport or ID — it must match the name on your Gili Air booking.
