As the sun rose over Singapore, Carin Ho and her friends were already buzzing with excitement for their upcoming adventure to the Gili Islands. Their journey began not with a complicated booking form or a long wait on hold, but with a simple WhatsApp message to us at LombokBoat.com. From the very first “Hello, I would like to arrange a private transfer from Lombok airport to Teluk Nare for 3 person,” we knew this was going to be a special trip. Our team was ready to make every step seamless, from the first inquiry to the moment their toes touched the white sands of Gili Trawangan.
From WhatsApp to White Sands: Carin’s Effortless Journey
We believe that every journey should start with a warm welcome and clear information. Carin’s first message arrived in the late afternoon, and within a minute, we replied: “Hello Good evening, yes we also provide this trip.” Our goal was to make her feel at ease, so we quickly confirmed the details, asked for her name, and provided a transparent price: IDR 800,000 for a private car and speedboat, all-inclusive for three people. No hidden fees, no confusion—just straightforward answers.
Personalized Service from the Start
Carin’s questions were thoughtful and practical: “This is for all 3 people, one price?” she asked. We reassured her, “Yes right, for total price is 3 people. Max 4 people in the speedboat + car.” She wanted to know about the journey time, and we explained, “From airport to Teluk Nare around 1.5 hour and Teluk Nare to Gili around 8-10 minutes on the sea.”
Our WhatsApp chat was more than just logistics—it was a conversation. Carin asked about return transfers, ferry options, and even the weather and air quality in Lombok after hearing about a volcanic eruption in Flores. We checked with our local partners and replied with a real-time update: “The air is clear, no ashfall, and weather conditions are safe and normal.” Our local contact even joked, “Everything is safe here, no ash or weather issues at all.”
Simple, Secure Booking Process
Once Carin confirmed, “We will take that,” we moved swiftly to secure her reservation. We requested the names and nationalities of all participants, and she provided them promptly. For the return journey, she asked, “Do you all provide ferry service from Gili Island to Teluk Nare then car service to Kalandara Resort?” We assured her, “Yes of course,” and clarified every detail, including pick-up times and drop-off locations.
- Booking Confirmation: We sent a detailed itinerary for both the arrival and return journeys, including pick-up times, locations, and payment status.
- Payment Link: Carin received a secure payment link via email, and we followed up to ensure everything went smoothly.
- Final Confirmation: Once payment was received, we reconfirmed all details and provided the driver’s contact information for peace of mind.
Arrival in Lombok: Warm Greetings and Smooth Transfers
On the morning of June 20th, Carin and her friends landed at Lombok International Airport. We had already reconfirmed the day before, asking about their luggage and internet access to ensure nothing was overlooked. “The driver will be waiting for you in arrival international airport with the sign name,” we assured her. To make the meeting even easier, we requested a photo of the group and coordinated their location near the airport’s KFC—one of the easiest landmarks to spot.
Even when Carin’s group was delayed at immigration, our team stayed in touch: “Yes, it’s okay, no problem. The driver already contact you right?” When she replied, “Can help us tell our driver. Thanks,” we immediately relayed the message. Our flexibility and real-time communication meant there was never a moment of uncertainty.
Private Car and Fast Boat to Gili Trawangan
Once reunited with their driver, Carin and her friends enjoyed a comfortable, air-conditioned ride through Lombok’s scenic countryside. The journey from the airport to Teluk Nare Harbour took about 1.5 hours, with glimpses of rice fields, mountains, and local villages along the way. At the harbor, their private speedboat was ready and waiting—no queues, no crowds, just a smooth 8-10 minute ride across sparkling blue waters to Gili Trawangan.

Return Journey: Gili Trawangan to Kalandara Resort
After a magical stay at Jambuluwuk Oceano Gili Trawangan, Carin’s group was ready for their return on June 22nd. We had already arranged everything: a private speedboat pick-up at 12:00 pm, with a reminder to check in at the harbor by 11:50 am. Our driver was waiting at Teluk Nare to whisk them away to Kalandara Resort in Lombok, ensuring a smooth transition from island paradise to luxury resort.
Throughout the process, our team remained available on WhatsApp for any last-minute questions or changes. Carin’s feedback was always positive, and we were delighted to hear, “Thanks,” and “Sure.
