Tips for the Gili Air to Nusa Penida crossing
- Arrive at the Gili Air 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 Nusa Penida booking.
