" Cheap way to go to Gili islands. You just have to know where to get your boat ticket, and wait.
Not really long wait tho. Off the boat to Lombok you can pick one of those transport for shared mini bus "

" Prepare yourself before arriving at this harbor especially if you're arriving from one of the Gilis. A couple of things to note:
#1 Carry your own bag out of the boat or be ready to pay at least 10K per bag to the porter. They will not ask you whether or not you need help but will automatically carry it from the boat.
#2 Camino (horse carriage) will only take you about 400 meter from inside the harbor to right outside the terminal where the blue bird taxis are waiting. Easily walkable if you can carry your own stuff.
#3 Transportation inside the harbor is plenty but be careful of deceitful practices. They will offer 100K to sengigi area but you need to make sure that it's per car and not per person. Blue bird taxis terminal can be found right outside the harbor area. You can bargain for a set fare of 75k to 100k to the sengigi area. "

" Our experience was not too bad but you need to be careful with your stuff and be super patient with locals (they won't stop asking ). Go to the main office for the tickets and do not buy them from anyone else, only give them to the staff of the boat. For the taxi you need to get out of the main door of the port (10min walk) and you can find a Blue Bird taxi. If arriving by official taxi they will ask for money (don't give more then 2k Rp) just to cross the main door then will stop the taxi and ask you if you want a horse ride ... 😒 you an easily walk to the port form there.
For us the ride was good, boat was full of people fast and the trip was less than 1h. For 5k Rp I will recommended to go to Gili T "

" We did our research so we were fully prepared for the scammers... It wasn't too bad but it was raining hard so maybe that's why.. We arrived from gili air and got a taxi to senaggigi.. Here are some top tips
- hold onto your bag and don't let go, they will try to carry it for you, don't let them
- you'll get offered transport by everyone, just say you have a driver sorted
- walk down the main road saying no thank you to everyone
- just keep walking, head down, look like you know what you're doing, after 400/500m you'll see the blue bird taxis
- there's no footpath so watch out for cars down this road
I can imagine at peak times and when it's not mid thunderstorm this place is worse but you'll be alright, just know what you're doing and don't hang around "

" The Bangsal harbour, its a crowned place where the locals ask you to buy stuff and follow you around to go on there horse wagons.
There's no system, you have to wait till somebody call form the speakers witch boat you have to get in. Most tourist dont understand the system, that makes it really chaotic. "

" Horrible place to be. The moment you set foot on land all the taxi drivers and restaurant employees start to asking you if you need a taxi or food and drinks. They will keep on chasing you. "NO!!" is not enough. Advise: walk about 300 meters on the main road and order a blue bird taxi (install the app). Or Uber. "
" Don't believe the ticket booth people when they try to get you to buy a fast boat to the gillis ... There's always people waiting and all a boat needs to take off is 40 people. Enjoy ! "

" If u not going to take public boat to the islands, u better learn to have good bargain skill.
Before and after bargain can be big differences.
End up we get our hotel to order for us, still better rate then argue with the agent around the jetty.
Ponny ride? Avoid! Not worth your money.
just a short distance walk.
