As the sun shone brightly over Lombok International Airport, we eagerly awaited the arrival of the Hildenbrant family from the Netherlands. Their journey to the Gili Islands had begun weeks earlier with a simple WhatsApp message: “Hello, we like a boat transfer to Gili Air 27 July. 2 adults 2 kids 7y/10y.” From that first friendly exchange, we knew this would be a special trip. Our team at LombokBoat.com thrives on creating seamless, memorable experiences for travelers, and the Hildenbrants’ adventure was about to become another story we cherish.
From WhatsApp to Welcome: The Start of a Seamless Journey
Our connection with Tom Hildenbrant and his family began with a straightforward question, but quickly blossomed into a warm, detailed conversation. We pride ourselves on our responsive, helpful communication, and this booking was no exception. Tom’s initial inquiry was met with our signature hospitality:
“Hello, thanks for contacting us. May I know from Bali to Gili Air, or Lombok to Gili Air?”
Tom clarified, “From Teluk Nare,” and we immediately checked our availability for their preferred date. With a few more messages, we learned their flight details, luggage count, and special needs. Our flexibility shone through when Tom compared our airport transfer rate to other options. We explained,
“We use a local driver who will stand by at the airport for you, and we’ll track your flight number so your car and boat will be ready—even in case of delay.”
Tom’s confidence in our service grew as we assured him of a smooth, coordinated transfer. We even sent photos of our speedboat and offered to adjust the package to suit his preferences. The booking process was simple, transparent, and tailored to his family’s needs.
Easy Booking and Clear Information: Our Promise
At LombokBoat.com, we know that clarity and convenience are key. Our WhatsApp chat with Tom is a perfect example of how we guide our customers through every step:
- Confirming Details: We double-checked names, ages, luggage, and travel times.

- Payment Support: When Tom encountered a double currency conversion, we quickly sent a new payment link in his preferred currency, ensuring a hassle-free transaction.
- Personal Touch: We requested a family photo for easy identification at the airport, and reconfirmed all details the day before arrival.
Our goal is to make booking a fast boat to Gili as easy as sending a message. Whether you’re looking for tiket kapal from Lombok or need transportasi to Gili Trawangan, our team is always ready to help.
Arrival in Lombok: Private Pick Up and Smooth Transfer
On July 27th, the Hildenbrant family touched down at Lombok International Airport. Their flight, JT822, landed right on schedule. We had already coordinated with our local driver, who was waiting at the arrivals gate with a warm smile and a sign bearing their names. Thanks to Tom’s confirmation that they had internet access, communication was effortless throughout.
“We just landed and gonna get our suitcases. Where do we meet our driver?”
Our team responded instantly, checked with the driver, and provided his contact details. Within minutes, Tom replied, “Yes, we are on the way.” The family’s two suitcases and two small backpacks were loaded into their private car, and they set off for Teluk Nare, the gateway to the Gili Islands.

Crossing to Gili Air: The Highlight of the Trip
Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, our captain greeted the Hildenbrants and helped them board their private speedboat. The turquoise waters sparkled as they set off for Gili Air, a short and scenic ride away. The children, Zara and Ona, were thrilled by the adventure, while Tom and Tryféna relaxed, knowing every detail had been taken care of.
Our private speedboat service from Lombok to Gili Islands is designed for comfort, speed, and safety. The Hildenbrants enjoyed a smooth crossing, with the island’s white sands and swaying palms coming into view in no time.

One of the unique aspects of our service is flexibility. Tom asked if he could adjust his return time from Gili Air to Teluk Nare. We assured him:

We scheduled their return for 11:00 am on July 30th, but left the option open for last-minute changes. This adaptability is part of what makes our Lombok to Gili Islands transfer service so popular with families and groups.
