Students and recent graduates qualify for a 5% saving on their ticket. Register with our partner Student Beans to confirm your eligibility, then apply the discount code you receive at checkout.
A resident discount is also on offer for a number of Spanish and Italian crossings — select the "Residents" option where available and the price will adjust automatically. Make sure you can show proof of address, such as a residency certificate or ID card, when you check in.
Document requirements differ by route, so check what you'll need well before departure. Travelling from Amed to Gili Air generally calls for a valid passport, plus any visa or national ID your nationality requires. Since rules depend on both your citizenship and your destination's regulations, our Check-in, Travel Documents & Tickets guide is a good place to check the details and avoid delays at check-in.
Getting your tickets is simple — enter your departure port, arrival port, and preferred travel date to see every fare and sailing available. From there, you can compare alternative routes and departure times to land on the best option for your trip.
Watch for early-bird pricing and flexible ticket formats, such as upgrades or flexi-fares that allow later changes or cancellations. Enter your details accurately, including passenger count and vehicle information, to keep your booking process smooth.
A confirmation email lands in your inbox the moment your booking is finalised. How your boarding pass gets issued from there depends on the specific ferry operator.
Certain operators release your boarding pass right after booking; others want you to check in once you reach the port. Where available, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online ahead of time.
Ticket desks sit near the ferry terminal in most cases. Give yourself extra time before departure to collect your tickets and complete check-in without stress.
You'll need to present your confirmation email plus valid photo ID — a passport or identity card — at check-in. Pet owners should bring vaccination and insurance paperwork, and anyone using a resident discount should have proof of address on hand.
A handful of reasons can explain the lack of departures from Amed to Gili Air on your selected date — timetable adjustments, sold-out sailings, or a seasonal gap are the usual culprits. Try a different date or browse other routes through our Route & Port finder.
Booking your Amed to Gili Air ferry early usually pays off, both in terms of price and choice — earlier bookings tend to unlock better fares and more departure and cabin options.

Amed is made up of a long coastal strip of fishing villages on the popular tourist island of Bali. The west Indonesian island is rewarded with an all year round tropical climate as it sits just south of the equator. The tropical conditions can be enjoyed from the silk sanded beaches which line the coastline.
The east Bali town is famed for its scuba diving and snorkelling, offering diverse marine life and coral-laden coast. It’s an underwater playground for ardent divers and adventurous travellers, with the relaxed atmosphere making it the ideal place for a rustic Bali retreat. The coastline is lined with colourful outrigger boats and the shoreline offers the perfect spot for dramatic sunrises which reflect of the glistening Balinese waves.
The ferry terminal is small but ideal for island hopping visitors who are heading east to the Indonesian province of West Nusa Tenggara. Public transport is limited in Amed but you can get around in Perama shuttle buses which you can privately hire locally. The road network is minimal with travel to neighbouring towns limited to a single narrow road between them.
There are regular fast ferries to destinations in the Coral Triangle, the richest centre of marine life in the world. Amed regularly services Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Bangsal with journeys ranging from an hour, to an hour and a half in length.
