On a bright December morning, our team at LombokBoat.com received a WhatsApp message from Leanne Eastwood, an adventurous traveler from Australia, eager to arrange a seamless journey from the Gili Islands back to Lombok Airport. Leanne and her husband Steve had enjoyed their time on Gili Trawangan, and now, with their flight home approaching, they wanted a stress-free, private transfer. Their message was clear: they needed a fast boat to Gili, followed by a comfortable car ride to the airport. With their internet connection active and a friendly photo sent for easy identification, we knew this would be a journey to remember — not just for them, but for us as well.
From WhatsApp Chat to Confirmed Booking: The Start of a Smooth Journey
Our story with Leanne and Steve began with a simple, encrypted WhatsApp chat. The conversation was warm and efficient, reflecting our commitment to making every step easy for our guests. Leanne’s first message was polite and direct, and we quickly responded with all the details:
- Private speedboat from Gili Trawangan Port to Teluk Nare
- Private car from Teluk Nare to Lombok Airport
- Clear pick-up and drop-off times, tailored to their flight schedule
We asked, “Hi Leanne Eastwood, may we know for how many people?” Her reply was prompt: “2 people. Leanne and Steve Eastwood. Australia.” This clarity allowed us to finalize the arrangements quickly. We confirmed the booking, sent a secure payment link, and within minutes, Leanne replied, “Yes, this is correct :)”
Personal Touches: Communication, Flexibility, and Hospitality
Throughout the process, we made sure Leanne and Steve felt supported. We provided a Google Maps link to the meeting point, and even requested a photo to help our driver recognize them easily. Leanne responded with a cheerful message and attached a photo, ensuring a smooth handover at the port. Our team’s attention to detail and proactive communication made all the difference:
“Good morning. Thank you for your confirmation. We look forward to meeting the driver tomorrow upon our arrival. We should have internet access as we are on global roaming. Please find attached photo as requested.”
We always reconfirmed details a day before each transfer, giving peace of mind and ensuring no detail was overlooked. Our flexibility shone through when we offered additional activities, like horseback riding and snorkeling, showing that we’re more than just a transport provider — we’re here to make every moment special.
