As the morning sun began to warm the lush landscapes of Lombok, we received a cheerful WhatsApp message from Ms. Elodie Poissonnier and Mr. Michel Duhaut, a lovely couple from France, ready to embark on their adventure to the Gili Islands. Their journey was set to begin at Lombok Airport, with a private transfer to Teluk Nare Port, followed by a seamless fast boat to Gili Air. From the very first message, it was clear that Elodie and Michel valued clarity, comfort, and a touch of personal care—values we hold dear at LombokBoat.com.
From WhatsApp to the Waves: A Seamless Booking Experience
Our story with Elodie and Michel began with a simple, friendly inquiry: “Ok so 11’ it’s ok I think, we’ll be there as quickly as possible.” Their flight, Wings Abadi Airlines IW 1950, was scheduled to land at 10:40 AM, and we quickly confirmed their private transfer for 11:00 AM, meeting them right in front of KFC at Lombok Airport. We know that after a long flight, the last thing anyone wants is confusion—so we sent a detailed map link and a reassuring message:
“Our driver will be ready at 11:00 AM in front of KFC Airport Lombok. Please send us a photo of yourself with your travel companion, so our driver can find you easily.”
Elodie responded promptly, sharing a photo and confirming their luggage details. This small step ensured a smooth, stress-free meeting at the airport, setting the tone for the rest of their journey.
Clear Communication and Flexible Arrangements
Throughout our WhatsApp chat, Elodie and Michel’s questions were met with quick, helpful responses. When Elodie asked about payment, we provided a secure link for credit card payment and confirmed receipt immediately after:
“Here is the payment link: You can pay with credit card on our website.”
“I have paid. Normally it’s good. Can you verify?”
“Yes, thank you for your payment.”
We believe that booking a fast boat to Gili should be as easy as sending a message. Our system is designed for convenience, with instant confirmations and transparent information at every step. Whether it’s tiket kapal from Lombok or arranging transportasi to Gili Trawangan, our goal is to make the process effortless.
Private Transfer: Lombok Airport to Teluk Nare Port
On the morning of May 7th, our driver was ready and waiting at the designated meeting point. We reconfirmed the details the day before, ensuring Elodie and Michel felt supported and informed:
“Good morning Ms. Elodie Poissonnier. We would like to reconfirm for tomorrow. Our driver will be ready at 11:00 AM in front of KFC Airport Lombok.”
Upon arrival, Elodie messaged, “Hello, for tomorrow at 11’ we will be to KFC! Thank you.” The handover was smooth, and our driver assisted with their luggage, making the 40-minute drive to Teluk Nare Port comfortable and enjoyable. Along the way, we shared local insights and answered questions about Lombok and the Gili Islands, adding a personal touch to their transfer.
Boarding the Private Speedboat: The Princess Boat Experience
Arriving at Teluk Nare Port, Elodie and Michel were greeted by our friendly captain, ready to whisk them away on their private speedboat. The Princess Boat awaited, gleaming under the midday sun, promising a swift and scenic journey across the turquoise waters to Gili Air.
- Departure Port: Teluk Nare Port (The Princess Boat)
- Departure Time: 12:45 PM
- Destination: Harbour Of Gili Air
- Service: Private Speedboat for 2 pax
We ensured their luggage was safely stowed and provided a quick safety briefing before departure. The crossing was smooth, with gentle sea breezes and panoramic views of the Gili Islands on the horizon. Our captain shared stories about the islands, pointing out hidden snorkeling spots and the best places to catch a sunset.
Arriving in Paradise: Gili Air Welcomes
Within minutes, the boat glided into the Harbour of Gili Air. Elodie and Michel stepped onto the island, greeted by the laid-back charm and crystal-clear waters that make the Gilis so beloved. We checked in to ensure their arrival was perfect and offered recommendations for their stay:
“How long will you be staying in Gili Air?”
“We’ll stay in Gili Air for two nights. Normally we’ll spend a trip for five hours by boat to snorkeling and fishing.”
Although they had already arranged a private snorkeling trip, we shared additional options for activities, from horseback riding on the beach to fast boat tickets for onward journeys. Our aim is always to enrich our guests’ experiences, whether they’re seeking adventure or relaxation.
