On a bright morning at The Confidential Mandalika in Kuta, Lombok, our team at LombokBoat.com was eagerly preparing for a special journey. We had the pleasure of assisting Tomas Antalik and his group—Ivana, Tamara, Leon Antalik, and Katarina Sepesiova, all from Slovakia—on their private speedboat adventure from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan. Their story began, as many of our journeys 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 us.
From WhatsApp Inquiry to Confirmed Booking: A Journey Begins
Our first interaction with Tomas was refreshingly straightforward. He reached out via WhatsApp, inquiring about the best way to get his family and friend from Kuta Lombok to Gili Trawangan. The conversation was lively and full of practical questions:
Tomas: “O dont know, Grab or local taxi.”
Our Team: “We also provide it. May we know your hotel name in Lombok, please?”
We pride ourselves on flexibility and clear communication, so we quickly offered options for both the private car transfer and the fast boat to Gili. Tomas appreciated our proactive approach, especially when we clarified details about luggage—five suitcases and five backpacks—and ensured the right vehicle (an APV) would be ready for their comfort.
Personalized Planning and Transparent Information
Throughout the chat, we made sure every detail was addressed. From confirming the pick-up time at 09:00 AM to discussing the best way to reach their hotel in Gili Trawangan, our goal was to make the process as smooth as possible. When Tomas asked about the transfer from the port to his hotel, we suggested the traditional cidomo (horse cart), knowing it would add a touch of local charm to their arrival.
Our Team: “From harbour Gili T to your hotel Jambuluwuk is around 30 minutes walk. We suggest you use cidomo from port to your hotel.”
Tomas: “I know I was there last year. How is about price?”
We always strive for clarity, so we provided a detailed breakdown of the services included, ensuring Tomas and his group felt confident and informed at every step.
Effortless Booking and Payment Process
One of the highlights of our service is the simplicity of booking. After confirming the group details and travel preferences, we sent Tomas a secure payment link. The process was quick and transparent, with real-time updates on payment status and booking confirmation. Tomas appreciated the efficiency:
Tomas: “Payment was successful.”
Our Team: “Good morning, Thank you very much for your payment sir.”
We reconfirmed all details, from the pick-up location at The Confidential Mandalika to the boat departure at Teluk Nare Port. Our team checked in the day before, ensuring everything was set for a stress-free morning.
Travel Day: From Kuta to Gili Trawangan
The morning of March 30th arrived, and our driver was ready at the hotel by 9:00 AM. Tomas and his group, with their five suitcases and five backpacks, were prepared and excited. Even a slight delay for breakfast was no problem—our team coordinated with the driver in real time, ensuring a relaxed start to their journey.
Tomas: “Hi, I am on breakfast, give me 10mins.”
Our Team: “Okay sir, we will inform to the driver.”
Once on the road, the scenic drive from Kuta to Teluk Nare set the tone for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival at the port, our staff assisted with luggage and guided the group to their private speedboat. The boat was ready and waiting, offering a comfortable and exclusive transfer across the sparkling waters to Gili Trawangan.

Arrival in Paradise: Gili Trawangan
The crossing from Lombok to Gili Islands is always magical, and for Tomas and his group, the experience was no different. As the speedboat approached Gili Trawangan, the turquoise waters and white sand beaches came into view. Our team ensured a smooth disembarkation at the port, and we reminded them of the best way to reach their hotel—by cidomo or a leisurely walk, depending on their mood.
We checked in with Tomas after their arrival, eager to hear about their experience and offer further assistance. His response was warm and appreciative, reflecting the positive spirit of the journey:
Tomas: “Thank you, we will stay around 3-10 days, It depends how we will feel at island 😊”
