**To contact Tiga Isle Charters for a private Gili Islands charter, message WhatsApp +62 811-2859-0000 or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com with your date, group size and preferred islands. Our reservations team replies within a few hours during Bali business times and sends a per-boat quote plus a suggested Trawangan–Meno–Air itinerary.**
Tiga Isle Charters arranges private island-hopping day trips around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, operated by Bali Premium Trip. Every booking is handled directly by a real reservations team — not an automated form — so you talk to a person who knows the jetties, the turtle-snorkel stops and how the tides shape your day.
How do I reach the reservations team?
Two direct channels, both monitored by the same team:
| Channel | Detail | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| +62 811-2859-0000 | Fast quotes, day-of coordination, photos of the boats | |
| sales@balipremiumtrip.com | Detailed itineraries, group bookings, written confirmations | |
| Response window | Within a few hours, Bali time (WITA, UTC+8) | Same-day replies for messages sent before early evening |
WhatsApp is the quickest route. Send your travel date, how many people are in your group, and whether you want a half-day or full-day charter. If you already know which islands matter most to you — Meno for quiet beaches and the underwater statues, Air for relaxed reefs, Trawangan for facilities — tell us, and we build the route around that.
What should I include in my first message?
The more you share up front, the faster we can quote an exact per-boat price. A useful first message covers:
- Date and rough start time — dry-season months (May–September) give the calmest seas and best visibility, per Audley Travel; June and July book out early, so send dates ahead.
- Group size — our pricing is per boat, not per person, so eight friends often pay the same boat rate as four.
- Trip length — half-day (roughly 3–4 hours) or full-day (roughly 6–8 hours).
- Priorities — turtle snorkelling, the Meno statue site, a sunset cruise, or a mix.
- Pickup point — which island or Lombok harbour you’re starting from.
How much does a charter cost, and what are the options?
All prices are per boat, set by the operator, and quoted fresh when you message us. There is no official government tariff for private Gili charters — any per-boat figure comes from the operator directly, never an authority. The table below shows the typical structure so you know what to ask for; exact rates are confirmed in your quote, as of 2026 and subject to change.
| Option | Typical duration | Boat style | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half-day island hop | 3–4 hours | Glass-bottom / small speedboat | First-timers, turtle-snorkel + one beach stop |
| Full-day three-island | 6–8 hours | Speedboat / small catamaran | Trawangan + Meno + Air in one loop |
| Sunset private cruise | 2–3 hours | Small catamaran / speedboat | Couples, small celebrations, golden-hour photos |
| Custom / multi-stop | By arrangement | Matched to group | Families, larger groups, specific reef sites |
For full rate cards and what each boat includes, see our [pricing page](/pricing/); to compare full itineraries side by side, see our [charter packages](/packages/). Wild turtle, manta and clam sightings are common on these routes but never guaranteed — we’ll always be honest about that when we plan your stops.
How does booking actually work?
A simple, five-step process from first message to boarding:
- Message us on WhatsApp or email with your date, group size and preferred islands.
- Get your quote — a per-boat price plus a suggested Trawangan–Meno–Air route, usually the same day.
- Confirm with a deposit — we hold your boat and date once a deposit is received; the balance is settled before or on the trip day as agreed in writing.
- Receive your details — exact jetty meeting point, pickup time, what to bring, and your skipper’s contact.
- Meet at the jetty and board. Your team tracks your booking start to finish.
Where do we meet on vehicle-free islands?
The Gilis have no cars or motorbikes — Wikipedia notes no motorised transport apart from electric scooters, and Audley Travel confirms motorised traffic is banned by local order, so you walk or take a cidomo (horse-drawn cart). That shapes every pickup, so we always send a fixed, easy-to-find meeting point rather than a vague “the beach.”
| Starting island | Usual meeting area | Getting there |
|---|---|---|
| Gili Trawangan | Main harbour jetty, near the boat landing | Short walk or cidomo from most hotels |
| Gili Meno | Main public jetty (east side) | Walk from most bungalows |
| Gili Air | Main harbour jetty | Walk or cidomo from the village |
| Lombok mainland | Bangsal harbour area | By car, then local boat |
If you’re arriving from Lombok, a fast boat from Bangsal Pier near Senggigi reaches Gili Trawangan in about 20 minutes; the public slow boat is a shared fare of roughly USD 1 per person — useful to know, but that is a shared transfer, not a private charter. Our charters are booked per boat for your group only.
When is the best season to book a charter?
According to Audley Travel, May to August brings clear skies and warm weather, with June and July “quite busy” — book ahead. September still has good weather with occasional showers and is a quieter, better-value month. October to April sees regular rainfall that can disrupt travel and is not recommended for reliable charters. If you want calm seas and clear water for turtle snorkelling, aim for the May–September window and message us early to lock in your date.

No booking is confirmed until you’ve approved the written quote and placed a deposit — so you always know your price and plan before committing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does Tiga Isle Charters reply to messages?
The reservations team, run by Bali Premium Trip, typically replies within a few hours during Bali business hours (WITA, UTC+8). Messages sent before early evening usually get a same-day quote. WhatsApp +62 811-2859-0000 is the fastest channel; email replies to sales@balipremiumtrip.com may take slightly longer for detailed itineraries.
Do I need to book in advance or can I contact you same-day?
Same-day charters are sometimes possible, but not guaranteed — boats and skippers fill up, especially in the busy June–July period Audley Travel flags. To secure your preferred boat, date and island route, message us at least a few days ahead. Peak dry-season weeks (May–September) can book out well in advance.
What information do you need to give me a per-boat quote?
Send your travel date, group size, trip length (half-day or full-day), and which islands or activities matter most — turtle snorkelling, the Meno statue site, or a sunset cruise. Pricing is per boat, not per person, and set by the operator as of 2026, so your group size mainly affects boat choice, not a per-head rate.
Where will we meet, given the islands have no cars?
We always send a fixed jetty meeting point in advance — usually the main harbour jetty on Trawangan, Meno or Air. Because the Gilis are vehicle-free (electric scooters and cidomo carts only, per Wikipedia and Audley Travel), you reach the jetty on foot or by cidomo from your hotel. Your skipper’s contact is included in your confirmation.
Is a deposit required to confirm my charter?
Yes. Your boat and date are held once a deposit is received, with the balance settled before or on the trip day as agreed in writing. Nothing is confirmed until you approve the written quote and place the deposit, so you always see your final per-boat price first. Prices are operator-set and subject to change.
