First time we caught the fast boat from PandangBai straight to Gilis, then small speed boat over to Sengiggi (Lombok). Did a day trip down to Kuta, then flew back to Bali....great trip. 2nd trip ..we flew to Lombok...stayed down at Kuta for a few days the had a driver take us to Bangsal for the cheap boat over to Gilis(never again!) stayed on Gilis a few days then got a more expensive speed boat back to Sengiggi (so much better!) drove to the airport and flew back to Bali.... 3rd trip we caught the fast boat to Lembongan from Sanur stayed there for five days, then caught the fast boat to Sengiggi ...drove down to Kuta for a few days. then back up to Sengiggi and the speed boat over to Gilis....back on the speed boat (10mins). Down to the Praya Airport
(lombok)....home to Brisbane via Perth...(Jetstar don't have this flight anymore, so I am glad we tried it! it was different )...... So there are several different ways to get there....the boats are fun...if you like boats!!!! Flying can sometimes take just as long...we waited for one flight over to Lombok for 3 hrs..rain delay...for a 20 min flight!, Which ever you decide. You will love. Both Lombok and the Gilis , they are the same same..but different. :) Deb
