As the sun rose over Lombok on May 29, 2026, we eagerly prepared to welcome a special family from Japan: Chie Takafuta, Masato Takafuta, and their two adorable children, Sakura (5 years old) and Ao (2 years old). Their journey to the Gili Islands had been thoughtfully planned through a series of warm and detailed WhatsApp conversations, where every question was met with our signature hospitality and clarity. From the very first message, it was clear that this would be a memorable adventure—one that would showcase just how seamless, flexible, and enjoyable a private speedboat transfer from Lombok to Gili Trawangan can be.
From First Contact: A Journey Begins on WhatsApp
Our story with the Takafuta family began with a simple, heartfelt message: “Hello. I’m interested in the transport from Lombok airport to Gili. Could you please provide me with an overview and let me know the availability for the following dates?” This was the start of a conversation that would span several days, filled with thoughtful questions and our prompt, reassuring responses.
We understood that traveling with young children requires extra care and flexibility. When Chie asked about flight timings and boat schedules, we replied, “We are available 24 hours, sir. If your flight arrives late, we can still arrange your fast boat to Gili Trawangan, with just a small additional charge for late-night trips.” This flexibility gave the family peace of mind, knowing that no matter what, their transfer would be smooth and stress-free.
Booking Made Simple: Clarity and Care at Every Step
After some rescheduling due to unforeseen circumstances, Chie reached out again: “Hello, we have rescheduled the trip as follows. Could you kindly let us know availability of transportation from Lombok Airport to Gili Trawangan?” We quickly confirmed availability and asked, “May I know how many suitcases and bags you will bring?”—a small detail, but one that ensured we could provide the right vehicle and boat for their comfort.
We provided a clear summary of what was included:
- Private pick-up from Lombok Airport to Teluk Nare Port
- Private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan
- Assistance with luggage (2 suitcases + 1 bag)
- Personalized meeting point at KFC Lombok Airport for easy recognition
Chie appreciated our transparency and asked about our cancellation policy, especially in case of flight delays or high waves. We responded with empathy and detail:
- If bad weather or high waves prevent the speedboat from operating, we help with rescheduling or a refund according to the operator’s policy.
- If there’s a flight change or cancellation, just let us know as soon as possible and we’ll coordinate with the boat operator.
- For personal cancellations, we explained the refund policy based on timing, always aiming to be as accommodating as possible.
With all questions answered, Chie replied, “Ok all noted, thank you so much. Please proceed to booking.” We finalized the details, sent a secure payment link, and confirmed everything once payment was received. The Takafuta family could now look forward to their fast boat to Gili with complete confidence.
Travel Day: Warm Welcomes and Smooth Transfers
On the morning of May 29, our team was ready at Lombok Airport, holding a sign for the Takafuta family at the agreed meeting point in front of KFC. Their flight, Garuda Indonesia GA432, landed right on time. Smiles and greetings were exchanged as we helped with their luggage and guided them to their private car.
The drive from the airport to Teluk Nare Port was comfortable and scenic, with our driver sharing local insights and making sure the children were happy and relaxed. Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, the private speedboat—The Princess Boat—was waiting, sparkling under the midday sun. Our crew assisted with boarding, ensuring safety and comfort for both adults and kids.
Why Choose a Private Speedboat?

As the boat glided across the turquoise waters, the Takafuta family enjoyed the fresh sea breeze and stunning views of the Gili Islands. Sakura and Ao were delighted by the gentle waves, while Chie and Masato could relax, knowing every detail had been taken care of.
Arrival in Paradise: Gili Trawangan Awaits
Within minutes, the iconic silhouette of Gili Trawangan appeared on the horizon. Our crew helped the family disembark at the harbor, ensuring their suitcases and bag were safely transferred. The Takafuta family’s adventure on Gili Trawangan had begun—stress-free, joyful, and perfectly tailored to their needs.
