As the sun began to rise over the lush hills of Tetebatu, our WhatsApp pinged with a friendly message from the Netherlands. Kris Blok and Bilal Arkaf were planning their journey from Lombok to the Gili Islands and wanted to know more about our private speedboat service. Their curiosity, warmth, and attention to detail set the tone for a delightful customer journey—one that we at LombokBoat.com were excited to be a part of. From the very first “Hi Lombok Boat, I would like to know about the private speedboat transfer service between Lombok and the Gili T,” we knew this would be a memorable crossing.
From First Contact: Personalized Service on WhatsApp
Our story with Kris and Bilal began with a simple question about the fast boat to Gili. We responded promptly, eager to help: “Hello Kris, when will you go to Gili T?” Their reply was quick—Tuesday was the day, and they were already thinking ahead about timing and safety. When Kris asked, “Is it about safety?” we reassured him, “Yes, boat safety every day operates.”
We always strive to make our communication clear and supportive, especially for guests who may be new to the area or have special concerns. Kris mentioned, “I’m a little seasick,” so we checked with our captain for the smoothest crossing time. After a short wait, we recommended a 10:00 am departure, explaining, “I think better 10:00am.” Kris’s response—“Okey perfect!”—let us know we were on the right track.
Seamless Booking: Clarity and Flexibility
Our booking process is designed to be as simple and transparent as possible. We confirmed the details step by step, asking for the names and nationality of all participants. Kris and Bilal, both from the Netherlands, appreciated our attention to detail. When it came to logistics, we provided clear options:
- Departure Port: Teluk Nare, Lombok
- Destination: Gili Trawangan Port
- Departure Time: 10:00 am
- Number of Passengers: 2
We also offered private transport from Tetebatu, but Kris let us know, “We had some driver here who bring us.” We were happy to accommodate, updating the booking to “private speedboat only.” Our flexibility meant Kris and Bilal could travel their way, without any pressure or confusion.
Easy Payment and Confirmation
Once the details were set, we sent a secure payment link via PayPal, allowing Kris and Bilal to pay with ease. Within hours, the payment was received, and we confirmed their booking: “Private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan, 2 pax, Kris Blok & Bilal Arkaf, Activity Date: 15 July 2025, Boat: 10.00 am, Payment Status: Paid.”
We believe in keeping our guests informed every step of the way. The day before departure, we sent a friendly reminder: “Good Morning Kris Blok, we would like to reconfirm for tomorrow. Boat departure 10:00AM, please check in 9:50AM at Pelabuhan Teluk Nare.” We even shared a Google Maps link to the port and asked about their luggage to ensure a smooth boarding process.
Travel Day: From Lombok to Gili Trawangan
On the morning of July 15th, Kris and Bilal arrived at Teluk Nare Port, greeted by our team and the sparkling waters of North Lombok. Their two big suitcases, one small suitcase, and a bag were carefully loaded onto the private speedboat. The anticipation was palpable as the boat set off, slicing through the calm morning sea—an ideal time for those sensitive to motion, just as we had recommended.
The journey from Lombok to Gili Islands is always special, but a private speedboat makes it truly unforgettable. The breeze, the views of Mount Rinjani in the distance, and the promise of Gili Trawangan’s white sands ahead—this is why so many travelers choose our tiket kapal from Lombok for their island adventure.
Arriving in Paradise: Gili Trawangan
Within minutes, the boat glided into Gili Trawangan Port. Kris and Bilal stepped onto the jetty, greeted by the vibrant energy of the island. We checked in with them to ensure everything went smoothly. Kris replied with a cheerful, “Yesss,” and we thanked them for choosing our service. Their satisfaction was clear, and it wasn’t long before they asked about booking their return trip—proof that a positive experience leads to lasting relationships.
Going the Extra Mile: Activities and Support
We love to help our guests make the most of their time in the Gilis. After their arrival, we shared a list of recommended activities, from horseback riding on the beach to private snorkeling tours and sunset kayaking. Kris was especially interested in kayaking, asking, “Where is the kayaking tour?” We explained, “Kayaking trip starts from Gili Trawangan harbour,” and provided options for single or double kayaks. Our ongoing WhatsApp support meant Kris and Bilal could plan their adventures at their own pace, knowing we were just a message away.
