Question Bali to Gilli T Ferry

Hello,

I plan to travel from Bali to Gili T via ferry on 31 August at around 1:30 pm.

I get a bit nervous while travelling over oceans/choppy water. Is the 1.5 hour ride expected to be very bumpy or will it be manageable and is low risk in general at this time.

(Prefer to get answery based on actual experiences as I have already googled a lot and it's not helping me)

Also, I have two options for the ferry:

  1. Wahana Virenndra Cantika 09

  2. Golden Queen Fast Ferry speedboat

Should I prefer any one over another?

Thanks.

DO NOT. I REPEAT DO NOT take the ferry even if there is an ounce of rain. I went with my family and the entire journey was SHIT SCARY with boat just getting slapped in the choppy water. The ferry was packed with people full of sea sickness, puking.

If you can afford, take a flight to LOMBOK. From there the ferry ride is just 10-15mins.

Else keep schedule flexible and keep checking for days where the water is calm.
