As the golden afternoon sun began to warm the runway at Lombok International Airport, we received a cheerful WhatsApp message from Michelle Lee, a traveler from Malaysia, eager to experience the magic of the Gili Islands. Her message was filled with anticipation and thoughtful questions, setting the stage for a journey that would blend seamless transport, personalized service, and the promise of turquoise waters. From the very first “Hi Lombok Boat, I hope this message finds you well,” we knew this would be a memorable adventure for both Michelle and her husband, Samuel James.
From WhatsApp to the Waves: A Seamless Booking Experience
Our journey with Michelle and Samuel began long before they set foot on Lombok. Through a series of friendly WhatsApp exchanges, we worked together to craft the perfect itinerary. Michelle’s attention to detail was clear—she wanted to know about the fast boat to Gili, the best timing for transfers, and the convenience of payment options. We responded promptly, offering clear information and flexible solutions:
Michelle: “May I know if you also have taxi from Lombok airport?”
Us: “Yes of course, we can arrange a private car for you. May we know what time you arrive at the airport?”
We provided a comprehensive package: private pickup at Lombok Airport, a swift transfer to Teluk Nare, and a private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan. Michelle appreciated the flexibility, especially when we assured her, “If you arrive earlier, you can take the boat earlier with us.” Our goal was to make every step—from tiket kapal from Lombok to the final drop-off—effortless and enjoyable.
Personalized Arrangements: Every Detail Matters
As the departure date approached, we reconfirmed every detail to ensure a smooth experience. Michelle’s flight, IW1964, was scheduled to land at 2:40 PM, and we arranged for our driver to greet them at the domestic terminal. To make the pickup even easier, we requested a photo and asked about their luggage:
Us: “Please send us a photo of yourself with other passengers, so drivers will find you easier tomorrow. How many suitcases and backpacks will you bring?”
Michelle: “We have 3 suitcases and 1 backpack. We have internet access, no problem.”
Our team’s attention to these small but important details is what sets us apart. We believe that transportasi to Gili Trawangan should be as stress-free as the island life itself.
Arrival in Lombok: Warm Welcomes and Smooth Transfers
On July 5th, the excitement was palpable. Our driver waited at the arrivals gate, ready to greet Michelle and Samuel with a smile. Despite a brief moment when Michelle’s phone was off, communication remained smooth. Once connected, she messaged, “Yes, I believe we are now arriving at the pier.”
The private car whisked them away from the airport, winding through the lush landscapes of Lombok towards Teluk Nare. Along the way, our driver shared local insights and ensured their comfort. Upon arrival at the harbor, our private speedboat awaited, ready to glide them across the sparkling sea in just 8-10 minutes—a true fast boat to Gili experience.
Crossing to Paradise: The Private Speedboat Experience
Stepping onto the speedboat, Michelle and Samuel felt the thrill of adventure. The short journey from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan offered panoramic views of the coastline and the promise of island serenity. Our captain ensured a safe and comfortable ride, and within moments, they were stepping onto the white sands of Gili Trawangan Harbour.
- Private car pickup at Lombok Airport
- Direct transfer to Teluk Nare harbor
- Private speedboat crossing to Gili Trawangan
- Personalized assistance every step of the way
Michelle later shared, “All good. Very kind and polite team ☺️”—a message that warmed our hearts and affirmed our commitment to hospitality.
Flexibility and Support: Adjusting Plans with Ease
As their return date approached, Michelle reached out again to adjust the timing of their boat back to Lombok. She asked, “Could I change timing to 9am boat departure?” Understanding the importance of catching their flight, we suggested a compromise:
Us: “Sorry, we suggest to take 8:15 am, considering you must be at the airport before 10:30am.”
Michelle: “I think we can aim to reach airport 11am instead since we will check in online ☺️ so you think 9am boat departure will be ok?”
Us: “Sorry, how about boat departure 8:30am?”
Michelle: “Ok let’s do 8.30am thank you.”
This flexibility is at the heart of our service. We always strive to accommodate our guests’ needs while ensuring their safety and peace of mind.
