Book online: Select your route, travel date, and departure time with ease. Once confirmed, you’ll receive an confirmation email. Your booking includes full instructions on where to check in, ensuring you have everything you need before you even arrive at the port. Arrival at port: On the day of travel, make your way to Padang Bai Harbor or Gili Air Jetty, depending on your chosen direction. The exact meeting point and check-in counter details are clearly communicated in your confirmation email. Please arrive at least 1 hour before departure to allow time for check-in.
