and found this info on another site....
With the amount of time you have you should be looking at the fastest way which would be to fly from Denpasar to Mataram. The flight takes 25 minutes & costs Rp237,000. One way. Then take a taxi to Bangsal Harbour. I am not sure of the price but there is a prepaid paxi booth at arrivals at the airport. Prices are fixed & listed. The taxi will drop you a few hundered metres from the beach, an easy walk though some will try to convince you, that you need to take a cidomo (horse cart) Ignore any touts who tell you there is no more boat & you will need to charter. They say that to everyone. Just walk right down to the beach and the white building to your left is the ticket office. Buy yor ticket there for approx Rp5,0000 & you will be on the next boat out, about 30 minutes to Trawangan.
I have included a link below to a page on Gilis Activities written by Swedish friend of mine who lives on Gili Trewangan.
The Gili islands are beautiful.
Have fun.
