The Gili islands, located somewhere between Lombok and Bali, are among the most popular tourists destinations after Bali. These islands are sometimes referred to as the turtle capital of the world, the party paradise or the lonely planet. There are several ways through which you can to get to the ‘lonely planet’ from Bali. 

Here are the four most convenient ways to get there:

 Use a Fast Boat

Nevertheless, you can get to these islands from Bali on a fast boat within 45 minutes to 1 hour. The price of this service ranges from $20 to $52. The most common route for fast boats is usually through Padang Bai, Amed Bali, and Serangan harbour.

Take a Flight to the Gili Islands

You can fly to the lonely planet but through a boat link. Basically, these islands do not have an airport.

The cost of this means can be as low as Rp449000 and as high as Rp799000.

Use a Public Ferry

Take a public ferry from Padang Bai, headed to Lombok then disembark at the turtle capital. This option will take you 4-5 hours depending on factors like sea conditions. The cost of a public ferry is around IDR40000 per head.
