As the sun rose over the lush hills of Lombok, we received a cheerful WhatsApp message from Rhiannon Benstead, an adventurous traveler from Australia. She and her partner, Jarrod Wilson, were preparing for a journey that would take them from the tranquil Owa Lodge in Kuta Mandalika to the sparkling shores of Gili Air. Their excitement was palpable, and we were thrilled to be part of their story—ensuring every step, from booking to arrival, was seamless, personal, and memorable. This is the story of how we helped Rhiannon and Jarrod experience the magic of the Gili Islands with our private speedboat service from Teluk Nare Port to Gili Air Port.

She mentioned a small hiccup: “The payment link isn’t working on your website at the moment, so I wasn’t able to proceed with payment.” We quickly reassured her, “Okay, we will make your booking and send payment link to your email.”
We believe in flexibility and clear communication. When Rhiannon asked, “Can we be picked up earlier and make the 12pm boat at all?” we responded, “Yes possible miss. We can pickup you at 10.00 AM.” Her reply, “Thank you – perfect,” was all the confirmation we needed that our approach was working.
