From the lush hills of Kuta, Lombok, to the sparkling turquoise waters of Gili Trawangan, every journey with LombokBoat.com is a story of seamless adventure and warm hospitality. Recently, we had the pleasure of assisting Mathias Ranna, a traveler from Estonia, who entrusted us with his private transfer from Villa Suka (Mystik Lombok Villas) to the Gili Islands. His journey, filled with anticipation and excitement, began with a simple WhatsApp message and unfolded into a smooth, memorable experience—one that truly reflects our commitment to making every trip effortless and enjoyable.
From First Contact: A Journey Begins on WhatsApp
It all started on a quiet Sunday morning when Mathias reached out to us via WhatsApp: “Hello! I booked private transport from Lombok Kuta to Gili Trawangan on 14 January. I did not receive confirmation email, all good with reservation?”
We immediately responded, greeting him warmly and confirming every detail of his booking. Our team always strives to provide clarity and reassurance, especially for guests traveling from afar. We shared his booking details, including the private transfer from Kuta to Teluk Nare and the private speedboat to Gili Trawangan, and made sure to double-check the pickup location at Villa Suka. Mathias quickly replied, “Yes exactly this!” and even sent us his Google Maps location for extra accuracy.
Throughout our chat, we made it a priority to address every question promptly. When Mathias asked, “We also have 2 big luggages, this is not problem, right?” we assured him, “Yes, no problem sir.” Our flexibility and attention to detail are what set us apart—no request is too small, and every concern is met with a solution.
Simple, Transparent Booking Process
One of the highlights of booking with LombokBoat.com is the simplicity and transparency of our process. Mathias appreciated how easy it was to confirm his reservation and receive all the necessary information in one place. We provided:
- Clear pickup and drop-off details, including clickable Google Maps links for both Villa Suka and Gili Trawangan Harbour
- Confirmation of payment status and travel date
- Assurance that his luggage would be handled with care
- Friendly reminders and reconfirmations as the travel date approached
We also made sure to check in the day before departure: “Good Morning Mathias Ranna. We would like to reconfirm for tomorrow. The driver will pick up at 10:00 AM at Villa Suka (Mystik Lombok Villas). Please be ready 10:00 AM. Could we have your room number, please?” Mathias replied, “It is private villa, no room number. We have 2 big luggages and 2 backpacks.” Our team responded, “Okay noted thank you, Mathias.”
Private Transfer: Comfort and Convenience from Kuta to Teluk Nare
On the morning of January 14th, our driver arrived promptly at Villa Suka, ready to greet Mathias and his companion. The private transfer ensured a comfortable, air-conditioned ride through the scenic landscapes of Central Lombok. With two big suitcases and two backpacks, there was ample space for all their belongings, and our driver assisted with loading and unloading, making the transition effortless.
We always strive to make the journey as relaxing as possible, offering bottled water and sharing local insights along the way. The drive from Kuta to Teluk Nare is a visual treat—rolling hills, glimpses of the coastline, and the vibrant life of Lombok’s villages. For guests like Mathias, it’s not just a transfer; it’s the first chapter of their island adventure.
Private Speedboat: The Fastest Way to Gili Trawangan
Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, our team was ready to assist with the next leg of the journey: a private speedboat directly to Gili Trawangan. This is the most convenient and exclusive way to reach the Gili Islands, bypassing the crowds and schedules of public boats. The speedboat was prepared for Mathias and his companion, with plenty of room for their luggage and a smooth, direct route to the island.
As the boat sped across the crystal-clear waters, the excitement was palpable. The Gili Islands appeared on the horizon, their white sand beaches and swaying palms promising days of relaxation and exploration. In less than 20 minutes, Mathias and his companion arrived at Gili Trawangan Harbour, refreshed and ready for their five-day stay.
