If you’re planning to come for all three days, or even longer, please know that if you book one of our packages, we have already reserved you a place on Friday afternoon’s boat! So please don’t delay and book yourself a package right here.

If you have purchased a package and plan to be there on Friday March 25th:

DO arrive into Denpasar Airport in Bali no later than March 24th, as you’re going to have hit the road to the boat early the next morning.

KNOW that your package includes roundtrip transportation from the airport/Kuta/Seminyak area to the port at Padang Bai, where you will catch the fast boat to GIli Air.

IF you have bought a package through us and plan to hitch a ride to the to the boat, meet us at at the back of the Carrefour parking lot in Kuta on the morning of Friday the 25th at 9:00am sharp. If you are not on time, the bus will not be able to wait for you.

The bus from the Carrefour will take you to the port of Padang Bai where you will then be directed to the boat that will transport you to Gili Air.

Once you arrive on Gili Air, you will find our welcome center right when you get off the boat. A member of the Air team will be available to check you in, give you a wristband, and direct you to your place of residence for the weekend. The venues are just a short walking distance from your guesthouse or villa.

For your return to Bali, meet at the only port on the island, directly across from Coffee and Thyme (our fave coffee spot), at 2pm on Monday, March 28th.

You will need to find your own way to Gili Air.

From Padang Bai, there are ferries that go to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Lombok. Make sure you get on the right boat, and get off on the right island. Some boats going to Gili Air stop first on GIli Trawangan.

Once you arrive on Gili Air, go to our welcome center at the port to purchase your festival wristband. Then you will need to walk or bike around the island and do your best to find a place to stay.
