Why “Golden Queen fast boat” prices look different online
You may see different prices because some sites mix different routes under one operator name. Usually, the difference comes from:
- Different departure ports (Padang Bai vs Sanur), so costs, duration, and service setup differ.
- Different routes (Sanur–Nusa Penida vs Padang Bai–Gili), so prices are not comparable
- Some listings are packages, so the price includes extra services or ticket rules.
Safest reference: this page is only for Padang Bai → Gili, and Serangan is not available at the moment.
