As the sun cast its golden glow over the turquoise waters of the Gili Islands, we received a friendly WhatsApp message from Samir, a traveler from the Netherlands, ready to embark on a seamless journey with his family—Sarana, Jeanny, and Aylena. Their adventure from Gili Air to Teluk Nare (Lombok) was about to begin, and we at LombokBoat.com were excited to be a part of their story. From the very first “Hello Samir” in our chat, we knew this would be a journey marked by warmth, flexibility, and the kind of hospitality that makes every crossing between Lombok and the Gili Islands memorable.
From First Contact: A Personal Touch on WhatsApp
Our connection with Samir started with a simple, direct WhatsApp message. He reached out late in the evening, seeking a private speedboat for 4 pax—a perfect fit for his family’s needs. We quickly responded, confirming the details for their fast boat to Gili and return, and provided all the necessary information for their tiket kapal from Lombok and back. The clarity and speed of our communication set the tone for the entire experience.
Samir: “Thanks pak. I don’t have PayPal. Can I just simply do transfer? I have local Indonesian bank OCBC.”
Us: “Yes, you can transfer to our bank account. Here are the details…”
We understand that every traveler has unique preferences, especially when it comes to payment. Samir’s request to use a local bank transfer instead of PayPal was met with a quick solution. Within minutes, we provided our bank details, ensuring the process was as smooth as possible. The payment was confirmed, and both sides felt reassured—one more step toward a stress-free journey.
Booking Made Simple: Clarity and Convenience
Our booking process is designed to be straightforward and transparent. After confirming payment, we sent Samir all the essential details for both legs of his journey:
- Departure: Gili Air to Teluk Nare (Lombok)
- Date: 29 July 2025
- Boat: Private Speedboat, 4 pax
- Check-in Time: 3:45 PM at Harbour of Gili Air
- One-way trip
We also provided Google Maps links for both harbors, ensuring Samir and his family could easily find their way. Our messages included helpful reminders and a direct line to our captain, just in case they needed extra assistance. This level of detail is what sets our transportasi to Gili Trawangan and other islands apart—every step is clear, every question answered.
Flexibility in Action: Adjusting to Our Guests’ Needs
Travel plans can change, and we pride ourselves on our flexibility. On the morning of departure, Samir let us know they were running about ten minutes late. Our response was immediate and reassuring:
Us: “Yes, it’s okay, no problem. May I know what time you will arrive?”
We also asked for a photo of their location to help our captain find them quickly. This small gesture made a big difference, ensuring a smooth handover and a stress-free start to their journey.
Last-Minute Changes? No Problem!
Later in the day, Samir’s wife requested to move the return trip to 3:30 PM. While our schedule was tight, we worked behind the scenes to accommodate their needs. After a brief exchange, we found a solution:
Us: “Possible move only at 4:00 PM.”
Samir: “Ohw. That is difficult. 3:45 possible?”
Us: “Please wait a moment.”
Samir: “4 is ok. I just checked. We see you at 4.”
Us: “Thank you for your understanding.”
Even when schedules are tight, we do our best to find a solution that works for everyone. Our guests’ comfort and convenience always come first.
The Journey: Private Speedboat Comfort and Island Views
When the time came, Samir and his family boarded their private speedboat at Gili Air. The boat was ready and waiting, offering a comfortable and exclusive ride across the sparkling waters. The journey from Lombok to Gili Islands (and vice versa) is always a highlight, with panoramic views of the coastline, gentle sea breezes, and the excitement of a new adventure just ahead.
Our captain greeted the family with a warm smile, helping them settle in and ensuring their luggage was safely stowed. The speedboat glided smoothly over the waves, making the crossing in comfort and style. For Samir, Sarana, Jeanny, and Aylena, it was more than just a transfer—it was a memorable part of their Indonesian holiday.
