Two kinds of product matter here. The first is transfers: speedboats from Bangsal, private cars from the airport, and combined car-and-boat packages that take you from the arrivals hall to the sand without touching a ticket office. Booking these ahead costs more than doing it piecemeal, but it removes the one stressful hour of an otherwise easy trip.
The second is day tours: the three Gilis by private boat for people staying on the mainland, and inland days to waterfalls and villages with a driver. All listings are real GetYourGuide products, with prices and ratings as shown in its partner feed in October 2026. Several are priced per group or per vehicle, which the cards make clear — check the live price for your party size.
Our pick of tours & tickets in Senggigi & the harbours
from €67 From Lombok: Gili Islands Snorkelling Day Trip
Hotel pick-up on the mainland, a private boat around the three Gilis with snorkelling stops, and time ashore for lunch. The simplest way to see the islands if you are based in Senggigi.
from €16 Lombok Speedboat: Gili Air, Meno & Trawangan from Bangsal Port
A pre-booked speedboat seat from Bangsal harbour to any of the three islands — a quick crossing with a fixed price and no negotiation at the quay.
from €16 per group Lombok Airport to Gili Islands Private Transfer
Private car from Lombok airport (or a Kuta hotel) to the coast, then a private speedboat straight to your island. Priced per group; confirm exactly what your option includes before paying.
from €41 per group Gili Islands: Private Transfer to Senggigi, Lombok Airport or Kuta Lombok
The same idea in reverse: boat from Trawangan, Meno or Air and a private car on to Senggigi, the airport or the south coast, at any hour that suits your flight. Priced per group.
from €31 Lombok: Private Car or Van Charter with Driver
A car and driver for a full day, with the route up to you: the coast road, Mataram’s temples, a waterfall, a weaving village. Good value shared between three or four people.
from €37 Benang Stokel & Benang Kelambu Waterfalls: Culture, Beach & Sunset
Central Lombok’s twin forest waterfalls — one a curtain of water through hanging greenery — combined with village stops and a beach for sunset. One of the best-reviewed day tours on the island.
Also bookable from here
These real GetYourGuide listings belong to a neighbouring island or harbour but are regularly used by visitors staying here — check the pick-up point before you book.
Kuta Lombok & the South from €44 Lombok: Pink Beach & 3 Gilis All-Inclusive Snorkelling Tour
A private wooden-boat day in Lombok’s remote south-east: the pink-tinged sand of Tangsi beach and snorkelling stops at small islets nearby. The pink is subtle and depends on the light — the operator says so too — but the day is a favourite.
Mount Rinjani from €44 Lombok Waterfalls Adventure: Tiu Kelep & Selong Hill Trek
No summit required: the Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls at Senaru, a short climb of Selong hill for views over the Sembalun valley, and the Pusuk Sembalun pass. The most popular non-trekking day in north Lombok.
Booking tips
- Read “per group” prices carefully. Transfer listings often show a low headline price for the smallest option. Enter your real number of travellers and check whether the boat is private or shared.
- Morning crossings are smoother. Wind and chop build after midday, especially from June to September.
- Tell your driver which harbour. If you have a pre-booked private boat it probably leaves from Teluk Nara or Teluk Kodek, not Bangsal.
- Day trips to the Gilis from the mainland mean an early start; a night on an island is almost always the better experience if you have the time.
- Rinjani treks can collect from Senggigi and the harbours — see Mount Rinjani tours.
