Sea conditions right now
Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled. These estimates come from wave-height forecasts at each port. They're a guide, not a promise: the operator and the port authority decide on the day.
Based on published wave-height thresholds for fast boats and ferries in Indonesia. Not a guarantee. Always check with your operator before you travel.
Going straight from Lembongan to the Gilis
You can cross from Nusa Lembongan to the Gili Islands without returning to Bali. It's worth fixing your departure time before you plan the rest of your stay.
Which Gili?
Gili Trawangan is the liveliest and has the most boats, Gili Air is the calm middle ground, and Gili Meno is the quietest. The Gilis have no cars or motorbikes, so you'll get around on foot, by bicycle or by horse cart.
Getting to the harbour and boarding
Lembongan is small, so the harbour is usually a short ride from where you're staying. Allow extra time with luggage.
The times on this page are guides taken from the booking site. Check-in is usually an hour before departure, but go by the time on your ticket.

Is there a boat from Nusa Lembongan to the Gili Islands?
Yes. We list 11 departures from Nusa Lembongan to the Gilis, with Wijaya Buyuk, Eka Jaya Fast Boat and Semaya One.
How long is the fast boat from Nusa Lembongan to the Gili Islands?
Crossing times are Gili Trawangan (2h 5m–3h), Gili Air (2h 25m–3h 20m) and Gili Meno (2h 40m–3h). Boats that call at other islands on the way take longer, so compare the Arrives column.
What time is the first boat from Nusa Lembongan to the Gilis?
The earliest departure is 09:00 and the latest is 13:15. Timetables change, so check with the operator before planning around one boat.
Can the boat from Nusa Lembongan to the Gili Islands be cancelled?
Yes. Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled, and it happens more often in the wetter months (roughly November to March). The sea-conditions estimate on this page is a guide, not a guarantee: the operator and the port authority make the actual call on the day. Leave a buffer before any onward flight rather than booking one for the same day.
Do I need to book in advance?
In peak season, popular morning departures can sell out a day or two ahead. Off-peak you can often book closer to the day. Booking ahead is the safer choice if you have a flight or a connection to make.
