As the sun rose over the lush hills of Kuta Lombok, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from Tyler Krohman, a traveler from Canada seeking a seamless journey to the Gili Islands. Alongside Jennicia Krohman and Michael Schiller from the USA, Tyler was looking for a private, stress-free transfer from their cozy room at Rascals Kuta Lombok to the tranquil shores of Gili Air. Their request was clear: comfort, convenience, and a touch of Lombok hospitality. From the very first “Hi – how much to arrange a private boat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air tomorrow for 3 people?” we knew this would be a journey to remember — not just for our guests, but for us as well.
From WhatsApp to the Waves: Crafting the Perfect Lombok to Gili Islands Experience
Our story with Tyler, Jennicia, and Michael began with a simple WhatsApp inquiry. We believe every great adventure starts with a conversation, and we pride ourselves on making each interaction warm, informative, and personal. Tyler’s message was direct, and our response was immediate:
Tyler: “Would it be possible to drop us off directly where we are staying?”
Us: “May we know the accommodation name, please?”
We quickly confirmed the details: their destination was Somewhere Else Beach Bar, Restaurant & Boutique Resort on Gili Air. While we always strive to accommodate special requests, the tides and weather sometimes have the final say. After checking with our captain and the local conditions, we explained:
“For the speedboat, usually only possible drop off until Gili Air Harbour.”
Tyler appreciated our transparency and flexibility, and together we found the best solution: a smooth drop-off at Gili Air Harbour, just a short stroll from their resort. Our commitment to clear, honest communication set the tone for the rest of their journey.
Simple, Secure Booking: Fast Boat to Gili, Private Transport, and Peace of Mind
We know that planning transport in a new country can be daunting, especially when juggling suitcases, backpacks, and travel companions. That’s why we make the booking process as easy as possible. Tyler asked if we could also arrange private transport from their hotel in Kuta to Teluk Nare port. Our answer was a resounding yes:
“Yes, that’s possible also. Private pick up at Kuta Lombok to Teluk Nare, private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air.”
We provided a clear itinerary, including pick-up time, location, and what to expect along the way. Tyler and his group were staying in Room R29 at Rascals Kuta Lombok, with four suitcases and two small backpacks. We made sure to note every detail, ensuring our driver would be ready and waiting at 10:30 AM sharp.
