Frequently Asked Questions
Is the crossing rough?
It can be choppy at times, especially in the transitional months between seasons — most boats are well-equipped modern vessels though.
Can I go straight to the Gili Islands instead?
Yes — many fast boat operators offer through-tickets direct to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, or Gili Meno without stopping in mainland Lombok.
Do I need to book in advance?
Recommended in peak season (Jul-Aug, Dec-Jan), though tickets are usually available with a day’s notice off-peak.
