The transfer from Gili Meno to Lombok is as scenic as it is seamless. Whether you are going to Lombok to explore more or heading straight to the airport, you'll need to hop on a ferry. We'll get into your transfer options below…
Five exciting things to do on Lombok
For anyone who loves adventure, nature and unwinding, it's hard not to fall in love with the island of Lombok.
Here are some of the must-do's during your time there:
Hike Mount Rinjani. At 12,224 feet/3,726 m, the trek to the summit is a challenging but rewarding journey. Typically, most people opt for a multi-day hike — anywhere from two to four days. For the longer treks, you'll also visit Lake Segara Anak, a turquoise gem nestled within the volcano's caldera.
See the sunrise from Pergasingan Hill. This involves an early wake-up call; however, isn't seeing the most spectacular sunrise worth it? With views overlooking the terraced rice fields and Mount Rinjani, this steep hike will take you one hour each way. You can do it independently, but consider hiring a local guide if you feel uneasy.
Head to Tiu Kelep Waterfall. For a refreshing swim, head to the most famous waterfall on Lombok. After a 15-minute trek through the forest trails, you will be met by water pouring out of the wall with a beautiful swimming spot below.
Check the surf at Seger Beach Surf Point. This spot is known for its laid-back vibe. It's suitable for all levels of surfing with a right and left-hand break. Food huts line the beach so you can grab a bite to eat.
Visit the Bukit Selong Rice Fields. While you will find rice terraces all over Lombok, here you will find an ocean of green fields as far as the eye can see. There is a wooden star at the top of the hill, which is the best viewpoint.
How to get from Gili Meno Island to Lombok
How great is it when your travel plans to your next destination require an easy transfer?
There are two options.
Option one: Ferry
Prices start from $40 for the boat, which holds up to five people.
This transportation option is suited to those who are planning to continue their Indonesian adventures on the island of Lombok.
The short 15-minute ferry from Mahamaya Gili Meno to Teluk Nare Ferry Terminal on Lombok departs every 30 minutes from 6 a.m.
It is a private transfer operated by Lombok Network Holidays for up to five travelers.
There is no need to worry about luggage limits as you will have the whole boat to yourself.
Pro tip: If you haven't been to Gili Meno, there are no cars or scooters. This means you must transfer your luggage to the ferry terminal by bike or horse-drawn cart.
Option Two: Bus + Ferry
Prices start from $75 for the four-person SUV
If you are heading to Lombok Airport, there is a 1.5-hour transfer also operated by Lombok Network Holidays.
Similar to the above option, you will travel on a private ferry from Mahamaya Gili Meno to Teluk Nare Ferry Terminal on Lombok. Afterward, you will be greeted by your English-speaking driver, who will take you to Lombok Airport. This option is good for up to four passengers.
The total transfer time is approximately 1.5 hours, and you can choose any departure time between 6 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Details about the trip from Gili Meno Island to Lombok
As you wave goodbye to Gili Meno Island, take in the fresh breeze and scenic views from the typically smooth ferry transfer.
In no time, you will pass the Gili Air island before approaching Lombok. You might even get a glimpse of Mount Rinjani in the background.
For those who are transferring to the airport, you will have gorgeous views of Lombok's countryside as you pass through rice terraces and charming local villages.
When is the best time to visit Lombok?
Lombok has a wet and dry season, but it is one of those places that you could visit year-round, depending on your holiday plans.
Let's compare the two below:
Dry season (May to September)
These months are the best time to visit for outdoor activities and to soak up the sunshine on Lombok's pristine beaches.
July and August are particularly popular for travelers visiting the Gili Islands. You'll enjoy clear skies, endless sunshine and low humidity, with temperatures typically averaging between 80°F and 88°F (27°C and 31°C).
Wet season (October to April)
Although these months are considered the wet season, the weather can be quite unpredictable. You could spend a week without experiencing any rain. Conversely, you might encounter heavy afternoon downpours that occur daily and last a few hours.
However, it's best to be cautious in November, December, and January since these coincide with the monsoon season.
Despite the rain, the climate is still warm and pleasant, with temperatures averaging 82°F to 90°F (28°C to 32°C).
Where to go after Lombok?
If you don't want your Indonesian adventures to end in Lombok, you've got a lot of choices.
If you haven't spent a few nights in Bali, then that is a great option. Some of the most popular places include Seminyak, Canguu, Ubud and Uluwatu. When traveling from Lombok to Bali by ferry, you have several arrival ports to choose from, including Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian and Sanur.
Pro tip: Bali is a large island, so you will want to plan where you are headed first before booking your ferry.
Another fantastic option is to travel from Lombok to Nusa Lembongan. The fastest ferry takes two hours, and the slower one takes 4.5 hours.
On this serene island, you can snorkel, scuba dive, and swim in the crystal-clear waters. It's also the perfect place to base yourself if you want to swim with manta rays.
