By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Many travellers combine Bali with Lombok or the Gili Islands. There are two main ways across: the budget public ferry and the faster boats. Here's a comparison and how to handle your rental scooter.
Crossing options
| Option | Route | Approx. time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public ferry | Padangbai → Lembar | ± 4–5 hours | Budget; carries private vehicles |
| Fast boat | Padangbai → Gili / Lombok | ± 1.5–2.5 hours | Fast; weather dependent |
Schedules and prices can change; rough seas can cancel fast boats. Check and book on the transport tickets page.
Handling your rental scooter
- Rental scooters usually can't cross — read taking a rental scooter to the islands.
- Leave it in official harbour parking — see airport & harbour parking.
- Or arrange a return at Padangbai with the admin.
- There are no scooters on the Gilis — see can you rent a scooter on the Gili Islands.
Arrive at Padangbai early and have breakfast near the harbour. With spare time, explore Candidasa & Padangbai and Bias Tugel beach.
