Bali to Gili Meno

Giligate.com offers the best way to reach Gili Meno from Bali with premium service, comfort, and reliability. Fast boat departures to Gili Meno are available from Serangan, Sanur, Padang Bai, and Amed harbors. To make your journey seamless, we recommend choosing a departure harbor based on your location in Bali.

For travelers departing from Padang Bai, located in East Bali, we proudly partner with Eka Jaya Fast Ferry and Wijaya Fast Boat — two of the most trusted and efficient operators serving the Gili Islands. If you're staying in Ubud or Candidasa, Padang Bai is the most convenient departure point. Guests in northern Bali areas such as Amed or Tulamben may also consider boats departing from Amed, depending on availability.

With Giligate, booking your boat trip is easy — just select your travel dates, passenger count, and destination, then compare top-tier operators, pay securely, and receive your e-ticket instantly. It’s not just about getting there — it’s about getting there in style, comfort, and peace of mind.

How to Get from Bali to Gili Meno

Your departure point depends on where you’re staying in Bali:

• South Bali (Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Nusa Dua): Departures from Serangan or Sanur harbors typically take around 2 to 2.5 hours to reach Gili Meno. Some boats may stop at Nusa Penida en route.

• Ubud or East Bali: We recommend departing from Padang Bai Harbor, where fast boats take approximately 1.5 hours to reach Gili Meno. This is also a great option for South Bali travelers who want a faster trip.

• North Bali (Amed/Tulamben): Fast boat departures from Amed are currently unavailable. Travelers from this area should head to Padang Bai for the fastest route to Gili Meno.

Alternatively, travelers can fly from Bali to Lombok and take a land and sea transfer (25-minute flight, 1.5-hour car ride, and 20-minute speedboat) to Gili Meno — though this option is typically more complex than a direct fast boat.

Bali Airport to Gili Meno

If your flight arrives at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) no later than 08:00 AM, you may be able to catch a morning fast boat to Gili Meno from Serangan Harbour, just 30 minutes from the airport via toll road. Please allow 90 minutes to 2 hours to clear Immigration and Customs.

The last fast boat to Gili Meno typically departs from Padang Bai at 12:15 PM. Since it takes around 2 hours to reach Padang Bai from the airport, flights landing after 07:30 AM are not advised for same-day transfers. In this case, we recommend staying overnight in South Bali and traveling to Gili Meno the next morning.

Why Visit Gili Meno?

Gili Meno is the quietest and most peaceful of the three Gili Islands — ideal for honeymooners, nature lovers, and travelers seeking total relaxation. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs, Gili Meno is known for its laid-back vibe, sea turtle sanctuaries, and serene beaches. All fast boat routes from Bali to the Gilis typically include Gili Meno as a stop, usually after Gili Trawangan and Gili Air.

Upon arrival at Gili Meno, passengers disembark at the harbor area or occasionally on the beach — so it’s always good to be prepared to step into shallow water when landing!
