As the sun rose over the lush hills of Lombok, we received a cheerful WhatsApp message from Samantha Bear and Henry White, a couple from Australia eager to experience the magic of the Gili Islands. Their journey with us began not with uncertainty, but with excitement and curiosity—Samantha’s first question was about the duration of the fast boat to Gili Air, and Henry was keen to ensure every detail was just right. From the very first chat, we knew this would be a memorable adventure, and we were determined to make every step seamless, from booking their private speedboat to the moment they set foot on the white sands of Gili Air.
From WhatsApp to Waves: A Seamless Booking Experience
Our story with Samantha and Henry started with a simple WhatsApp inquiry: “Because the duration around 8-10 minute on the sea.” We assured them, “That’s okay sir, our driver will standby around 08.30 am at Teluk Nare port.” Their enthusiasm was infectious, and we responded with the warmth and clarity that define our service. When Samantha asked, “Can we send link payment to samanthabear1995@gmail.com?” we quickly provided all the necessary details, offering both Indonesian bank account options and the flexibility to pay via Wise.
Throughout the booking process, we made sure every question was answered promptly. When Henry asked, “Is it for the two of us, or each?” we clarified, “This price for 2 person sir.” Our goal was to ensure there were no surprises—just smooth sailing ahead.

On the morning of October 9th, our team was ready and waiting. We sent a friendly reminder: “Good Morning Samantha Bear, we would like to reconfirm for tomorrow. Our driver will pick up you around 08.30 am at Novotel Lombok Resort and Villas. Could I have your room number, please? How many will you bring suitcases and backpacks?”
Samantha replied promptly, “Our room is 408 and we have two small suitcases. Can we pay cash to the driver? Terima kasih!” We assured her, “Yes, that correct, please pay the rest payment to our driver tomorrow by cash.” This flexibility is something we pride ourselves on—making sure our guests can choose the payment method that suits them best.

Once on the road, the journey from Kuta to Teluk Nare was smooth and scenic. We kept in touch throughout, ensuring they knew exactly which car to look for and confirming their safe arrival at the port. Samantha’s message, “We are now on our way :)” brought a smile to our faces—we love being part of these joyful moments.
Fast Boat to Gili: The Highlight of the Journey
Arriving at Teluk Nare, Samantha and Henry were greeted by our team and guided to their private speedboat, Jun Speadboat. The anticipation was palpable as they prepared to cross the turquoise waters to Gili Air. We had already explained, “The duration around 8-10 minutes on the sea,” so they knew exactly what to expect—just enough time to soak in the stunning views and feel the thrill of the open water.
Our crew ensured their luggage was safely stowed, and with a final wave, they set off toward Gili Air. The speedboat ride was smooth and exhilarating, a perfect introduction to the laid-back paradise that awaited them.
Arrival at Gili Air: A Warm Welcome
Upon arrival at Gili Air port, Samantha and Henry were met by our local team, ready to assist with their bags and offer tips for exploring the island. We checked in later that day to make sure everything had gone smoothly: “Hi, how was your experience today? Is there anything we could improve for your next visit?”
Their response was heartwarming: “No, it was all fantastic, thank you so much!” Moments like these remind us why we do what we do—creating unforgettable journeys for our guests.
