From Lombok International Airport, take an official taxi, pre-booked transfer or airport shuttle to Mataram and onward. From Bali, fast boats run to the Gilis and some stop at Bangsal, Teluk Nare or Senggigi depending on the operator and season; the slow public ferry runs Padang Bai–Lembar, about an hour south of Senggigi by road.
