Gili Getaway
Gili Getaway is a long-standing fast boat operator specializing in connections between South Bali, the Gili Islands, Nusa Penida and the more secluded Gili Gede. Operating primarily from Serangan Harbor, they provide a practical alternative for travelers who wish to avoid the long road transit to Padang Bai.
With years of experience navigating the Lombok Strait, Gili Getaway focuses on small-vessel efficiency. Their boats are custom-built to handle the specific sea conditions of the region, prioritizing professional maritime standards and punctual departures. Operating smaller vessels means fewer passengers boarding and disembarking at each port compared to the large-scale ferries.
