On a bright January morning, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from across the globe. Miss Jo McPartlin from the UK and Miss Vanessa McDonagh from Ireland were already on their way to Lombok’s northern coast, eager to experience the turquoise waters and laid-back charm of Gili Air. Their journey was about to become a story of seamless travel, warm hospitality, and the kind of flexibility that makes every trip memorable. As the team behind LombokBoat.com, we were ready to ensure their transfer from Teluk Nare to Gili Air was as smooth as the sea itself.
From First Contact: A Journey Begins on WhatsApp
It all started at 09:56 AM, with a simple question: “Hi, are you able to tell me if boats are running today from Teluk Nare or Bangsal Harbour to Gili Air?” We love these moments—when travelers reach out, full of anticipation and a touch of uncertainty. Our reply was immediate and reassuring: “Hello, good morning! Yes, we still have seats available from Teluk Nare to Gili Air.”
Jo and Vanessa were looking for a fast boat to Gili that very morning, and we were delighted to confirm availability for their preferred 11:30 AM departure. The conversation quickly turned to details, with Jo asking, “It would be for this morning from 11.30 for 3 people. How much would this cost?”
We explained that our private speedboat service offers the same rate for 2-5 people, making it perfect for small groups seeking comfort and privacy. The clarity and transparency in our communication helped Jo and Vanessa feel at ease, knowing exactly what to expect from their tiket kapal from Lombok to Gili Air.
Simple, Flexible Booking: Designed for Travelers
Our booking process is designed to be as easy as possible, especially for those on the move. Jo and Vanessa preferred to pay in cash upon arrival, but we explained our policy of prioritizing reservations with a down payment. “Possible down payment IDR 100.000, sir,” we offered, ensuring their spot was secured without hassle.
Jo appreciated the flexibility: “As in if down payment paid you pay the remainder on arrival of harbor?” We confirmed, “Yes, that’s correct, sir.” This approach allowed them to travel with peace of mind, knowing their transportasi to Gili Trawangan (or in this case, Gili Air) was reserved, with the balance payable directly to the captain.
Booking Steps Made Easy
- Contact us via WhatsApp for real-time availability and advice
- Share your travel details and preferences
- Secure your booking with a small down payment
- Receive instant confirmation and clear instructions
- Pay the remaining balance to the captain at the port
We sent Jo a secure payment link for the down payment and confirmed receipt within minutes. Even when she noticed the payment due date was set for the next day, we reassured her: “That’s okay, no problem.” Our goal is always to keep things stress-free and transparent.
Clear Communication, Every Step of the Way
Throughout the chat, we made sure Jo and Vanessa had all the information they needed. We provided the exact meeting point at Teluk Nare Port, shared a Google Maps link, and even gave the name of the captain and the boat company for easy identification. “If you have trouble finding the boat captain, please contact Mr. Jun at the port. You can also send us a message, and we will be happy to assist you.”
Our team is always ready to help, whether it’s answering questions about Lombok to Gili Islands transfers, clarifying payment options, or simply offering a friendly word of encouragement before a big adventure. We believe that great journeys start with great communication.
Arrival at Teluk Nare: A Warm Welcome Awaits
By 11:30 AM, Jo and Vanessa arrived at Teluk Nare Port, greeted by the gentle sea breeze and the sight of their private speedboat waiting at the dock. Our captain was ready, the boat gleaming and prepared for a safe, comfortable crossing. The final payment was made directly to the captain, as agreed, and our guests were soon gliding across the Lombok Strait, leaving the mainland behind and heading toward the palm-fringed shores of Gili Air.
