As the sun began its gentle descent over Lombok, we received a WhatsApp message that would soon turn into a memorable journey across the sparkling waters to Gili Trawangan. Florian Rieu from France and Karolina Wlazlo from Poland reached out to us, their excitement palpable even through the screen. Their adventure was about to begin, and we were honored to be their chosen partner for a seamless, private speedboat transfer from Teluk Nare to the Gili Islands. This is the story of how we made their dream of a smooth, stress-free crossing come true—one message, one solution, and one unforgettable experience at a time.
From First Contact: Personalized Service via WhatsApp
Our journey with Florian and Karolina started with a simple, heartfelt inquiry:
“Hi Lombok Boat, I would like to know about the private speedboat transfer service between Lombok and the Gili Islands. Do you have a boat available today around 16:30 or 17:00 to Gili T? (Not sure yet the exact time we will arrive at the harbour)”
We responded promptly, assuring them that seats were available and asking for the number of travelers. Their reply—“2 people”—set the wheels in motion. We confirmed the availability of a private speedboat and provided all the necessary details, including the Google Maps location for Teluk Nare Port. Our goal was to make every step clear and easy, so Florian and Karolina could focus on the excitement of their upcoming island escape.
Booking Made Simple: Flexibility and Clarity
We understand that travel plans can be fluid, especially when flights and transfers are involved. Florian let us know he was “in the plane between Bali and Lombok,” and that a driver would be waiting at the airport to take them to the harbor. We reassured him:
“At the moment, can we note at 05.00 pm? But if you arrive before 05.00 pm, you can do it because we provide private speedboat.”
This flexibility is at the heart of our service. Whether you’re arriving early or running a bit late, our private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan is ready when you are. We made sure Florian and Karolina felt supported every step of the way, adjusting the schedule to fit their needs.
Transparent Communication: Overcoming Payment Challenges
As with many international travelers, payment logistics can sometimes be a hurdle. Florian preferred to pay in cash to avoid bank fees, but we explained our policy of securing bookings with prior payment due to high demand and the need to reserve the boat with the captain. We offered alternatives—Indonesian bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise—but understood when Florian replied, “No euro only.”
Rather than let this become a roadblock, we continued to communicate openly and respectfully. When Florian created a PayPal account on the go, we quickly clarified that credit card payment was also possible, making the process even smoother. Our booking system sent a secure payment link, and within minutes, the reservation was confirmed. The entire process, from inquiry to confirmation, was handled with patience and understanding, ensuring Florian and Karolina felt valued and cared for.
Travel Arrangements: A Smooth Transition from Land to Sea
With the booking secured, we provided clear instructions for the day:
- Departure Port: Teluk Nare Port
- Boat: Kasmir Speedboat
- Departure Time: 04.45 PM
- Drop-off: Gili Trawangan Port
We shared the exact Google Maps location and offered direct contact with the boat captain, ensuring there would be no confusion upon arrival. Our team remained available via WhatsApp for any last-minute questions, providing peace of mind as Florian and Karolina made their way from Lombok Airport to the harbor.
Arrival at Gili Trawangan: The Start of an Island Adventure
As the speedboat glided across the turquoise waters, Florian and Karolina could finally relax and take in the beauty of the Lombok to Gili Islands route. The private transfer meant no waiting, no crowds—just the two of them, the sea breeze, and the promise of Gili Trawangan’s vibrant shores ahead. Upon arrival, our team checked in to ensure everything had gone smoothly:
“Hi Florian Rieu, How was your experience today? Is there anything we could improve for your next visit?”
Florian’s reply warmed our hearts: “Hi, all good and perfect. Thank you very much.”
