As the sun shone brightly over Lombok International Airport, we eagerly awaited the arrival of our guests, Mr. David Lee Boon Leong and Ms. Siew Monsy, who had just landed from Malaysia on AirAsia flight AK 304. Their journey to the Gili Islands was about to begin, and we were honored to be their chosen partner for a seamless transfer from Lombok Airport to the turquoise shores of Gili Trawangan. From our very first WhatsApp exchange, it was clear that this would be a memorable adventure—one filled with warm conversations, flexibility, and the kind of hospitality that makes every trip special.
From WhatsApp to Welcome: The Start of a Seamless Journey
Our story with Mr. David and Ms. Siew began with a simple WhatsApp message. They reached out to us, seeking a fast boat to Gili and private car transfer from Lombok Airport. We responded promptly, providing clear details about the meeting point—right in front of KFC at Lombok Airport (see map)—and confirming their pick-up time at 12:45 PM. With just two mid-size bags, their travel would be comfortable and hassle-free.
Our WhatsApp chat was filled with friendly exchanges and helpful information. When Mr. David asked, “I was if u hv the tour starting from Sembalun because that’s where we will be staying after check out from Gili,” we quickly offered suggestions to optimize their itinerary. We explained, “Our suggestion is to start the tour directly from Gili T. Our driver will pick you up from Teluk Nare Harbor, then continue the journey for the Sembalun and waterfall tour. This option is more efficient and also more cost-effective 😊.”
Effortless Booking and Flexible Arrangements
We pride ourselves on making the tiket kapal from Lombok booking process as simple as possible. For Mr. David and Ms. Siew, all it took was a few messages to confirm their private car and speedboat transfer. We provided a clear breakdown of options for their onward adventures, including guided tours to Sembalun Valley, Sendang Gile & Tiu Kelep Waterfall, and even a visit to a local strawberry plantation. Our transparent communication ensured they had all the information needed to make the best choice for their holiday.
- Private Car: Pick-up at Lombok Airport, direct transfer to Teluk Nare
- Private Speedboat: Fast, comfortable ride from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan
- Clear Meeting Point: In front of KFC, Lombok Airport
- Flexible Payment: Option to pay cash to the captain upon arrival
Even when there were questions about payment methods, we handled them with understanding and flexibility. Mr. David mentioned, “I scared not enough cash for the next few days but I think it’s ok. We pay cash.” We reassured him and made sure the process was smooth, even accommodating a last-minute credit card payment for their snorkeling trip the next day.
Personalized Hospitality Every Step of the Way
On the day of arrival, our driver was ready and waiting at the designated meeting point. When Mr. David and Ms. Siew arrived, they were greeted with a warm smile and assisted with their luggage. The private car was clean, air-conditioned, and perfectly suited for a comfortable ride to Teluk Nare. Along the way, our driver shared local insights and answered any questions, making the journey both informative and enjoyable.
During their transfer, there was a brief moment when the driver needed to finish Friday prayers. Mr. David’s response was heartwarming: “It was all good. We just had to wait a short while for the driver to finish prayers. Ok with us as we understand Friday prayers for Muslims.” We truly appreciated their understanding and kindness, and it was a reminder of the mutual respect that makes travel so rewarding.
Fast Boat to Gili: The Private Speedboat Experience
Arriving at Teluk Nare, our team assisted Mr. David and Ms. Siew onto their private speedboat. The captain greeted them and ensured their two mid-size bags were safely stowed. The private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan offered a swift and scenic ride across the sparkling waters, bypassing the crowds and delivering them directly to the heart of Gili Trawangan Port.
We believe that transportasi to Gili Trawangan should be more than just a transfer—it should be an experience. The fresh sea breeze, panoramic views of Lombok’s coastline, and the anticipation of arriving on the Gili Islands all combined to create a truly memorable crossing.
Clear Communication and Ongoing Support
Throughout their journey, we stayed connected via WhatsApp, ready to assist with any questions or changes. When Mr. David inquired about snorkeling equipment for their next day’s adventure, we replied promptly: “Yes, fins (flippers) are included. In general, guests who use fins do not need to wear a life jacket. However, life jackets are always available and can be used anytime if you feel more comfortable.”
Even when there was a brief confusion at the snorkeling check-in, we acted quickly: “Please wait a moment, we will contact the person at counter.” Within minutes, everything was sorted, and Mr. David replied, “Yes all good Tks.”
