As the sun began to rise over the lush hills of Senggigi, our WhatsApp pinged with a message that would soon become a memorable journey for both us and our guests. Paige Sundberg, traveling with Tim and Ted from New Zealand, reached out with a simple yet exciting request: a private speedboat transfer from Senggigi to Gili Air the next morning. Their adventure was about to begin, and we were thrilled to be a part of it, ensuring every detail was seamless from the very first hello.
From WhatsApp to Waves: Crafting the Perfect Lombok to Gili Islands Journey
Our story with Paige and her family started with a friendly greeting: “Hi Paige 😊 Thank you for reaching out to us about transfer options from Senggigi to Gili Air – Fast, Private & Public Boats. We’re excited to connect with you! How may I help you today?” This set the tone for a warm, personalized experience, where every question was met with clarity and care.
Personalized Planning: Understanding Our Guests’ Needs
Paige’s first question was direct: “How much for a private speedboat from Senggigi to Gili Air tomorrow morning? We are at Qunci Villas. 3 passengers.” We quickly confirmed their hotel and explained the available options, always prioritizing safety and comfort. When Paige asked about a direct speedboat pickup from the hotel, we explained, “For direct pickup at the hotel using a speedboat, unfortunately it is not possible due to coral reef conditions in the area, which make it unsafe for the boat to dock 🙏.”
Rather than letting this be a setback, we offered flexible alternatives, including a private car transfer to Teluk Nare Port, followed by a private speedboat to Gili Air. Our goal was to make the journey as smooth as possible, and Paige appreciated the transparency: “Ok, car then speedboat. Can we do pickup at 8am?”
Clear Communication and Flexible Arrangements
Throughout our WhatsApp chat, we made sure every detail was crystal clear. We confirmed the pickup time, explained the route, and even discussed luggage: “We are in the flower villa (no room number). One suitcase, one carry bag.” This attention to detail ensured that our driver would find them easily and that their belongings would be handled with care.
- Pickup: 8:00 AM at Qunci Villas Resort, Senggigi
- Private Car Transfer: Direct to Teluk Nare Port
- Private Speedboat: 8:30 AM departure from Teluk Nare to Gili Air
- Arrival: Harbour of Gili Air
We also accommodated their request for a flexible return journey, reassuring them: “Yes, it’s okay, no problem. You can confirm the return time later.” This flexibility is at the heart of our service, making us a trusted choice for fast boat to Gili and transportasi to Gili Trawangan or Gili Air.
The Day of Departure: Seamless Service from Start to Finish
On the morning of April 9th, our driver arrived promptly at Qunci Villas Resort. Paige, Tim, and Ted were ready in the lobby, their excitement palpable. The private car whisked them away along the scenic coastal road to Teluk Nare Port, where our team awaited their arrival. The Princess Boat, our private speedboat, was prepared and gleaming under the morning sun, ready to deliver them swiftly across the turquoise waters.
Boarding the Private Speedboat: Comfort and Exclusivity
Stepping onto the speedboat, our guests were greeted by the captain and crew, who ensured their comfort and safety. The journey from Lombok to Gili Islands is always a highlight, with the sea breeze and panoramic views creating an unforgettable experience. In just a short time, the outline of Gili Air appeared on the horizon, promising relaxation and adventure.
Upon arrival at the Harbour of Gili Air, our team assisted with luggage and offered local tips for exploring the island. Paige and her family were delighted with the smooth transition, commenting on the ease of the entire process: “Thank you for making everything so simple and stress-free!”
