If you\\&#8217;re already on Lombok and want to add a few days on the Gilis (or vice versa), this is one of the easiest hops in Indonesia. This guide covers all options.<\/p>\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/agent.12go.asia\/tools\/widget\/country_widget.js\"><\/script>\n<onetwogo-country-widget\n  country=\"ID\"\n   width=\"400\" agent=\"16173966\" lang=\"en\" fxcode=\"USD\" wl=\"12go.asia\">\n<\/onetwogo-country-widget>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Lombok\/Gili-Islands\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=lombok-gili-islands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Lombok \u2192 Gili Islands tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Local Boat from Bangsal Harbour (Cheapest)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public cidomo boats depart from Bangsal Harbour to all three Gili Islands throughout the day \u2014 approximately 15\u201330 minutes per island (Gili Air closest, Gili T furthest), fares from ~15,000\u201320,000 IDR (~$1 USD) per person. Boats leave when full (usually 6\u20138 people). Can involve some waiting. Bangsal is about 1.5\u20132 hours from Mataram or Kuta Lombok by ojek or car. The classic budget option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Private Boat \/ Chartered Speedboat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Private speedboat charters from Bangsal or Teluk Nare to the Gilis \u2014 approximately 10\u201315 minutes, fares from ~200,000\u2013400,000 IDR (~$12\u201325 USD) for the whole boat. Worth splitting between a group. Fastest option if you have luggage or don\\&#8217;t want to wait for the public boat to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 3: Fast Boat from Lombok Airport Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several operators offer transfers from Lombok International Airport (LOP) directly to the Gili Islands by road + fast boat \u2014 approximately 2.5\u20133 hours total, fares from ~$25\u201340 USD. Convenient if you\\&#8217;ve just flown into Lombok from Bali or elsewhere and want to go straight to the Gilis without navigating Lombok\\&#8217;s roads independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay on the Gili Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts Hotellook\/Agoda widget: Hotels on Gili Trawangan]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/bali-to-gili-islands\/\">Bali to Gili Islands<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/bali-to-lombok\/\">Bali to Lombok<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.
