In Reply to: Gilicat, can't believe the price! posted by Stavros on Thursday, 20. August 2009 at 17:12 Bali Time:
We stayed at Padang Bai in July and the prices we were quoted in the street for the fast boat to Gili T (not that we were going to Gili T) were a lot cheaper than advertised prices, they also offered discounts for the kids.
We went to Gili T August 2006 and flew to Lombok, taxi to harbour and boat to Gili T. On return we caught the Perama Ferry, Perama offer discounts for children under 12. Now I don't know if things have changed but the Perama Ferry could drop off at Gili T but not pick up back then. So caught a boat back to harbour at Lombok, bus to Sengiggi, boat out to Perama Ferry, around 3 hour ferry trip to Bali and bus back to Kuta all included in the Perama Ferry price. My kids were 3 & 5 and loved all the boats and didn't get bored on the Ferry.
