Port information & tips for Gili Mas (Lombok)
Gili Mas on Lombok is the modern gateway to Indonesia's untouched natural treasures and stands out as a fascinating alternative to neighboring Bali. The region welcomes travelers with an authentic atmosphere, rolling hills, pristine stretches of coastline, and a deeply rooted Sasak culture.

Cruise ships dock at the modern Gili Mas Cruise Terminal, which allows for a comfortable shore excursion thanks to its deep harbor basins while providing an ideal starting point for the approximately 45-minute drive to the city center.

Airplane
Lombok International Airport (LOP), also known as Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport, is the closest airport to the island of Lombok and thus to Gili Mas port. It offers international connections to Malaysia and Singapore. For guests from the DACH region, a connecting flight via Jakarta or Bali (DPS) is usually required, as Ngurah Rai International Airport on Bali (DPS) enjoys very good connections to numerous international cities. The long flight time from Europe makes arriving at least one day before embarkation highly recommended.
Transfer & Shuttle
From Lombok International Airport (LOP), you can easily reach Gili Mas port in Lembar by taxi or pre-booked private transfer. The distance is approximately 45 kilometers, and the travel time is around one hour. Reliable taxi companies like Blue Bird are available at the airport and offer a pleasant and direct onward journey to the cruise terminal. Many hotels and tour operators on Lombok also arrange transfers to the port.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
For a relaxed start to your cruise, an overnight stay on Lombok the day before your embarkation is advisable, especially after a long-haul flight from the DACH region. You can find hotels, for example, near the airport or in popular tourist areas like Senggigi. Organized transfers to Gili Mas port can be easily arranged from these accommodations, ensuring you go on board well-rested and on time.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for the journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
