Arriving in a new country always brings a mix of excitement and anticipation, especially when the destination is as enchanting as the Gili Islands. For Ashleigh Hardcastle and her travel companion, both from Australia, their journey to Gili Air began long before they set foot on Lombok soil. It started with a simple WhatsApp message to us at LombokBoat.com, seeking clarity and comfort for their transfer from Lombok International Airport (LOP) to the tranquil shores of Gili Air. Their story is a testament to how seamless, flexible, and enjoyable travel can be when every detail is handled with care and hospitality.
From First Contact: Personalized Service via WhatsApp
Our journey with Ashleigh began with a thoughtful inquiry:
“Hello, could you please tell me how much it will cost to pick us up from Lombok International Airport and take us to Gili Air? Thank you!”
We responded promptly, outlining the options for a private pick up from the airport to Teluk Nare and a private speedboat to Gili Air. We also provided alternative routes, such as the fast boat from Bali, ensuring Ashleigh had all the information needed to make the best decision for her trip. Our goal was to make the process as transparent and stress-free as possible, and Ashleigh appreciated the clarity:
“Thank you 🙂 I will contact you if I decide to book!”
Simple, Flexible Booking Process
After confirming her flight details, Ashleigh reached out again:
“Hello again, if our flight is due to arrive in Lombok at 1:30pm will that be okay for getting to Gili Air?”
We reassured her that our private car and speedboat service would be perfectly timed to her arrival, and that we could adjust the schedule if her flight was delayed. This flexibility was a key factor in her decision to book with us:
“Will the car and boat both wait if our flight is delayed?”
Our answer was simple and honest:
“Yes, our driver will be waiting and just keep in touch with us, we can help to reschedule the speedboat departure time.”
With this assurance, Ashleigh completed her booking, and we sent her a secure payment link. The process was completed in minutes, and we confirmed every detail, from flight number to luggage count, ensuring nothing was left to chance.
Travel Day: Real-Time Support and Hospitality
On the day of travel, we reconfirmed all arrangements and checked in with Ashleigh:
“Good Morning Ashleigh Hardcastle. The driver will be waiting at 1.30 pm at Lombok International Airport (LOP), Flight number IW1848. Please send us a photo of yourself with other passengers, so drivers will find you easier tomorrow.”
We also asked about her internet access and luggage, making sure the transfer would be smooth and comfortable. When Ashleigh’s flight was delayed, she kept us updated:
“Hello, just letting you know our flight is a little bit delayed. We are supposed to be leaving at 12:45 but we haven’t boarded yet.”
Our response was immediate and reassuring:
“Hello Ashleigh. Yes, it’s okay, no problem. Please let us know when you will be boarding.”
Throughout the journey, we maintained open communication, tracking her progress and ensuring our driver and speedboat captain were ready and waiting. When Ashleigh finally landed and collected her bags, our driver was there to greet her with a warm smile, ready to whisk her away to Teluk Nare for the next leg of her adventure.
Private Transfer: Comfort and Convenience from Airport to Gili Air
Our private pick up service from Lombok Airport is designed for comfort and peace of mind. Ashleigh and her companion enjoyed a spacious, air-conditioned ride through Lombok’s scenic landscapes, with their luggage safely stowed.
