Getting There & Away

From Lombok
You reach the Gili Islands by a small boat from the port of Bangsal one kilometer from the village of Pemenang, where the shuttle busses arrive. To get from Pemenang to Bangsal you can either walk or take a cidomo (horse carriage).

Another option to get to the Gili Islands is to take a Perama boat from Senggigi.

From Bali/ By Plane
From Bali you can fly directly to the interntional Airport in Lombok. There are daily flights and the prices are moderate. From the Lombok Airport Biru Meno offers a special Pickup-Service. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

From Bali/ By Boat
If you are coming from Bali the main port to go to Lombok and the Gili Islands is Padangbai. You can take the ferry to the port of Lembar on Lombok and from there take a shuttle bus to Pemenang. You can buy tickets for the whole trip in one of the travel offices in Padangbai.

From Bali/ By Fast Boat
If you would like to reach the Gilis faster and directly from Bali you can take the fast boat from Padangbai (around 90 minutes) or from Benoa Harbour (two hours ). Pick up from your hotel around Bali is mostly included.

Some fastboats going directly to gili meno.

The port of Bangsal
When getting to the port of Bangsal be aware that you might be hassled by the hawkers. They will try to pester you into buying an expensive return ticket. Don’t believe their stories. The prices for return tickets on the islands as well as everything else such as cigarettes and mosquito coils are as average as on the main land.

Island Hopping
Between the three Gili Islands it is very easy to do some island hopping. Boats usually go twice a day.
