On the evening of April 27, 2025, we had the pleasure of assisting Paloma Alyssa Anne Florence Peschke, a solo traveler from Germany, with a private speedboat transfer from Lombok (Teluk Nare) to Gili Air, including a personalized pickup service directly from Lombok International Airport (LOP).
Paloma was arriving on a late flight (AirAsia QZ462 from Kuala Lumpur) scheduled to land at 5:55 PM. Her goal? To skip the overnight stay in Lombok and head straight to the island the same evening — a request we were happy to accommodate.
✈️ Real-Time Coordination & Customized Package
The journey began with a WhatsApp message:
“I will arrive at 18:00 to Lombok today and want to travel to Gili Air the same day, aka in the evening. Will that be possible? Do you also offer airport transfers?”
We confirmed availability for both:
- A private car to pick her up at the airport
- A private speedboat to Gili Air, with an estimated departure at 8:00 PM
After some initial questions about pricing and timing, Paloma chose the full package to ensure a seamless experience, especially as she was traveling alone and didn’t want to risk delays or confusion at the port.
💼 What We Arranged for Paloma:
She confirmed her full name and paid the booking securely online before heading to the airport. We also asked her to share a photo and confirmed that our driver would be waiting in the international arrivals area holding a sign with her name.
🧭 Departure Evening: Smooth, On-Time & Worry-Free
Paloma landed on schedule and messaged us:
“I’m outside already.”
Our driver was already waiting at the airport near KFC, and within minutes, she confirmed:
“Cool. We are driving already.”
Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, the private boat crew was ready to welcome her and assist with the short but scenic crossing to Gili Air under the stars.
💬 Feedback & Follow-Up
The next morning, we followed up to ensure she had arrived safely and to see if she needed a return transfer. Paloma replied:
“Thanks, if I require your services again I will be in touch.”
🎯 Conclusion
Paloma’s journey is a perfect example of how we help travelers — even those arriving late — experience smooth, safe, and comfortable transfers between Lombok and the Gili Islands.
