Fastboat Ticket to Gili Islands Lombok and Penida

The worst boat experience! AVOID AT ALL COSTS. No help coming on and off the boat or with handling luggage like other operators. Boat was 2.5hour late without advising us!!!

Our trip from Nusa Penida to Gili Trawangan was an absolute disaster! The boat was delayed by 2 hours, and we received absolutely no information or updates from the operator about the delay. The boat itself was very old, and the legroom was a complete joke — it might be suitable for small children, but certainly not for adults. The journey was extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, in Nusa Penida you have to carry your own luggage all the way to the pontoon next to the boat. It doesn’t matter whether you are a child, a woman, or an elderly person — there is no proper assistance with the luggage. Overall, the entire experience was a catastrophe from beginning to end: terrible organization, no communication, an old and uncomfortable boat, and very poor service. I would definitely NOT recommend this company to anyone.

Pathetic arrival, we booked online, arrived at the port, they couldn't find our reservation, there were several of us in the same situation.

Totally NOT recommended. Don’t use Semaya One! Very disappointing experience traveling from Gili to Bali. First of all, the boat was almost 3 hours late, which completely messed up our plans for the day. On top of that, the trip was supposed to take around 2.5 hours, but we actually spent about 4 hours on the boat. Inside the boat it was extremely cold because of the air conditioning. People were literally sitting in jackets and trying to keep warm during the whole trip. It was very uncomfortable. The whole experience was poorly organized, with very little communication about the delay. When you book a speedboat, you expect at least a reasonable schedule, correct information about the travel time, and basic comfort. Unfortunately, Semaya One provided none of these. There are plenty of other speedboat companies operating between Gili and Bali — use another company. I definitely do not recommend Semaya One and would never use them again.

The waiting area and toiled in the harbour were crowded, dirty, and disorganised. The ferry trip was ok, but there was no food/snacks available for purchase - only beers. They also kept playing a record of the ferry instructions in repeat for over 15min while people were boarding the vessel which was so irritating!

Great easy trip to lombok. Very quick and without any issues

Fast crossing between Lombok and Bali (1h30), indoor and outdoor seating, air conditioning, not bad comfort.

Old ferry, Smell bad, no space, too hot It was a bad experience for us

Never again, insanely bad, first 2 hours delay and then another 4 stops, never again

The checkin experience was easy and the people were helpful. The boat ride itself was very choppy. It served its purpose and the cabin was air conditioned, but it was very cramped and water sprayed in in areas that werent sealed. The seats were not uncomfortable, but when the boat is fully sold, as it was when we were on it, it is extremely cramped and there is absolutely no room for small bags and backpacks.
