Darren & Susan’s Arrival Story: How We Delivered a Smooth Private Lombok Speed Boat Transfer
Date: May 7, 2025 – Guest Story
From pre-arrival coordination to the final boat ride, here’s how we helped Darren & Susan enjoy a worry-free Private Lombok Speed Boat Transfer from the airport to Gili Trawangan.
1. Booking Confirmed — Let’s Get It Right ✅
We first connected with Darren through his booking on Viator. The original plan: pick up at Lombok Airport at 10:30 AM, then transfer to Gili T via private speed boat. Darren quickly reached out to let us know: “We’ll probably be out of the airport by 11:30 after customs.”
Great heads-up! We updated their pickup time and boat schedule accordingly, shifting the boat to 1:00 PM and confirming a smooth connection. “Looking forward to visiting your country and seeing the Gilies 😄,” Darren said. We couldn’t wait to welcome them!
2. Keeping in Touch, Even Weeks Before 📆
Since their trip was booked a month in advance, we sent a gentle reconfirmation closer to their arrival date. Darren responded quickly, sent us a photo so our driver could easily recognize them, and confirmed they’d have roaming internet and two big bags, two small ones. Communication was clear and friendly — always a pleasure.
3. Arrival Day: Everything on Track ✈️🛥️
May 7, 2025 — Darren and Susan landed on Scoot TR260 right on schedule. Around 11:30 AM, they messaged: “We’re just waiting for our bags.” Ten minutes later, they were on their way in our private air-conditioned car. At Teluk Nare, their private boat to Gili Trawangan was ready and waiting.
By early afternoon, they arrived safely at Gili T. We checked in to make sure everything went well. Darren’s reply? “All very good 😃.” Just what we love to hear.
4. A Message That Made Our Day 🙌
Later that day, Darren sent us a heartfelt message: “Thank you to your guys. They were professional and very friendly. Both drove very safely and we were comfortable. We are now relaxing for a few days but may be looking for some activities in a week or so.”
Messages like these remind us why we love what we do. Taking care of guests from the moment they land to the moment they start relaxing — that’s the goal.
5. Ending on a 5-Star Note ⭐️
Before ending the chat, we kindly asked if Darren could leave us a review. Without hesitation, he replied: “Will most certainly leave a 5 star review for you 😀.” That was the cherry on top of an already great transfer day.
