Arriving in a new country always brings a sense of excitement and anticipation, especially when the destination is as enchanting as the Gili Islands. On September 2, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming Spohler Manuel and Paradies Spohler Kristin, a lovely couple from Germany, as they embarked on their journey from Lombok Airport to the tranquil shores of Gili Meno. Their adventure began with a simple WhatsApp message, and from that first contact, we were committed to making their transfer seamless, comfortable, and memorable. This is the story of how we guided them from the bustling terminal of Lombok Airport, through the scenic drive to Teluk Nare, and across the sparkling waters to Gili Meno Port—all with the warmth and hospitality that defines LombokBoat.com.
From WhatsApp to Welcome: The Start of a Seamless Journey
Our story with Manuel and Kristin began with a friendly WhatsApp message:
“Hello LombokBoat Team,
We will arrive at Lombok Airport (LOP) tomorrow 2 September at 10:50 AM (flight arrival). We would like to book a private car transfer from the airport to Teluk Nare, followed by a private speedboat directly to Gili Meno.”
We always appreciate clear communication, and Manuel’s message included all the essential details: flight number, luggage count (two large suitcases and two hand-carry trolleys), and their preferred pick-up time. Our team responded promptly, confirming availability and providing a clear breakdown of the transfer process. We reassured them that their private car and speedboat would be ready, and that flexibility was our priority—especially if their flight or luggage collection took longer than expected.
Booking Made Effortless: Clarity and Flexibility at Every Step
We know that after a long flight, the last thing anyone wants is a complicated booking process. That’s why we keep things simple and transparent. After confirming the details, we asked:
“May we know all name participant and country, please?”
Manuel replied with their full names and country of origin, and even sent over passport copies for a smooth check-in. We clarified the drop-off point:
“In Gili Meno, we will drop off you at Gili Meno Harbour, it’s okay?”
Manuel responded with understanding and flexibility:
“Drop off at Gili Meno Harbour is fine for us.”
We then confirmed the flight number and finalized the booking, ensuring every detail was correct. When Manuel expressed concern about the tight timing between their flight arrival and pick-up, we reassured him:
“Driver will be waiting 11:00am until he meet you. If your flight is delayed, please let us know. 11:15 or something like that is also fine if it takes longer to get the luggage’s.”
Our goal is always to adapt to our customers’ needs, making their experience as stress-free as possible.
Payment and Confirmation: Secure, Simple, and Supportive
Once all details were confirmed, we sent a secure payment link. Manuel completed the payment smoothly and let us know:
“Sorry, payment done.”
We quickly replied:
“Thank you, we have received your payment.”
With everything settled, we sent a final confirmation, including the pick-up time, location, and a reminder to send a photo for easy identification at the airport. Even as Manuel and Kristin enjoyed their dinner in Lombok, we kept communication light and friendly:
“That okay sir, no problem. Have enjoy for your dinner.”
Travel Day: Warm Welcome and Smooth Transfers
On the morning of September 2nd, our driver was ready at Lombok Airport’s Domestic Terminal, holding a sign and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our guests. We had already coordinated every detail, from the car’s spacious trunk (perfect for two large suitcases and hand-carry bags) to the timing of the speedboat departure from Teluk Nare.
