Arriving at Lombok International Airport, the air was filled with excitement and a hint of adventure. On October 24, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of four travelers from Japan—Koichi Kanzaki, Misaki Kanzaki, Tadahiko Ota, and Ryoko Matsuoka—who entrusted us with their journey from the airport to the sparkling shores of Gili Trawangan. Their story began, as so many do, with a simple WhatsApp message, but quickly unfolded into a seamless, personalized experience that highlighted the best of Lombok hospitality and the ease of traveling with LombokBoat.com.
From WhatsApp to the Waves: A Journey Begins
Our first contact with the group was warm and inquisitive. “Halo, saya Toshio dari Jepang. Saya berencana untuk pergi ke Gili Trawangan pada tanggal 24-25 Oktober. Kami akan bepergian dengan tiga orang. Kami juga membawa tiga koper, jadi saya khawatir perjalanan akan cukup sulit.” This message, sent with a touch of concern about luggage and logistics, set the tone for our approach: attentive, flexible, and always ready to help.
We responded promptly, outlining the options for a fast boat to Gili and private car transfer from Lombok Airport. Our goal was to make the process as clear and reassuring as possible, especially for guests traveling internationally and carrying both suitcases and backpacks. The conversation continued with friendly exchanges, confirming details and ensuring every question was answered:
Guest: “If the price is attractive, is it possible to arrange a return to Mandalika on the 25th?”
Us: “Of course, we can arrange transport to Mandalika or back to the airport. Just let us know your hotel name when it’s decided, and we’ll check the best route for you.”
We believe that every journey should start with clarity and comfort. That’s why we provided a detailed itinerary, including pick-up times, meeting points, and even a Google Maps link to the exact location in front of KFC at Lombok Airport. Our guests appreciated the transparency and the fact that all arrangements could be confirmed via WhatsApp, making the booking process as easy as sending a message.
Simple Booking, Clear Information, and Flexible Arrangements
One of the highlights of this journey was the simplicity of the booking process. With just a few messages, our guests secured their tiket kapal from Lombok and private car transfer. We made sure to confirm every detail, from flight numbers to luggage count, ensuring that nothing was left to chance.

Our WhatsApp chat was filled with friendly reminders and helpful tips.

Your comfort is our priority.” When the group’s plans changed, we adapted quickly, confirming new details and updating the reservation without any hassle.
Private Car and Speedboat: The Ultimate in Comfort and Convenience
On the day of arrival, our driver was ready and waiting at the designated spot, holding a sign and a welcoming smile. The group found us easily, thanks to the clear instructions and map link we had provided. The private car was spacious, air-conditioned, and perfect for a relaxing ride through Lombok’s scenic landscapes en route to Teluk Nare Harbour.
Our guests enjoyed the comfort of a private transfer, free from the stress of navigating public transport or waiting for shared shuttles. The journey from the airport to the harbor was smooth and enjoyable, with our driver happy to answer questions and share local insights along the way.
