New York did a great report. I too have taken the Mabua Express and even thuogh it is quick (2 1/2 Hours) the trip back is pretty bad. Even though the boat is big, new and fast it travels through the "wallace line" which is ver very deep water Between Bali and Nusa Penida. It is where all the currents from a great part of Asia to the north meet and the swell is a recipie for bad sea sickness.
The flight is about twenty minutes and you get a great view of Bali and there ever so quick.
New york is right about Gili Meno it is very quiet. I also would spend some time at Gili Trawangan as the snorkelling is even better there.
Best of luck I hoped this has helped TINA
