Every journey to the Gili Islands is unique, but some stories truly capture the spirit of adventure and the warmth of Lombok hospitality. Recently, we had the pleasure of assisting Tara-lea Veula McMillan, a solo traveler from Australia, as she set out to explore the magic of Gili Trawangan. From her very first WhatsApp message, Tara’s excitement was contagious, and we were determined to make her fast boat to Gili experience as seamless and memorable as possible. Here’s how her journey unfolded with LombokBoat.com, from the initial inquiry to her arrival on the sun-kissed shores of Gili Trawangan.
Personalized Service from the First Hello
It all began with a simple WhatsApp message: “Hi there… I am just wondering what the price would be to pick up from the Holiday Resort Lombok and drop off at Scallywags in Gili T?” Tara’s friendly tone set the stage for a delightful exchange. We quickly responded, confirming her accommodation and asking, “How many people miss?” When she replied, “Yes, that’s it and it will be for myself only,” we knew this would be a special solo adventure.
We provided Tara with clear options for her private transfer, explaining the route from Senggigi’s Holiday Resort Lombok to Teluk Nare Port, and onward by private speedboat to Gili Trawangan. We also made sure to clarify details about the drop-off point, noting, “If the water is low tide, the boat can only dock at Gili Trawangan Harbor and can’t get closer to the hotel area.” Tara’s response was full of positivity: “That’s fine, I’m sure I can walk to the hotel.”
Effortless Booking and Flexible Arrangements
One of the things we pride ourselves on is making the booking process as simple and transparent as possible. Tara appreciated this, asking, “Do I pay online? Or pay in cash on the day?” We replied, “You can pay online on our website,” and within minutes, Tara confirmed, “I have just made the booking now… thank you so much.”
To ensure everything was perfectly arranged, we double-checked her pickup time and location. “Sorry, do you want to start 11:00am from Hotel or Teluk Nare?” we asked, wanting to make sure her transfer was timed just right for her 11:30am boat departure. Tara confirmed, “Yes, that is correct… pickup from Hotel at 11:00.”
Clear Communication Every Step of the Way
- Pickup: Holiday Resort Lombok, Senggigi
- Transfer: Private car to Teluk Nare Port
- Boat: Private speedboat (The Princess Boat) at 11:30AM
- Destination: Gili Trawangan Harbor
We reconfirmed all details the day before, asking for her room number and luggage details to ensure a smooth pickup. Tara replied promptly, “I am in room 215 and I only have 1 backpack.” This attention to detail allowed us to provide a truly personalized experience.
Seamless Transfer: From Lombok to Gili Islands
On the morning of May 22nd, our driver arrived at Holiday Resort Lombok right on schedule. Tara was greeted with a warm smile and helped with her backpack. The drive along the scenic coastline to Teluk Nare Port was relaxed and comfortable, with our team ready to answer any last-minute questions.
At the port, our captain was waiting to welcome Tara aboard her private speedboat. The check-in process was quick and easy, and within minutes, Tara was gliding across the turquoise waters toward Gili Trawangan. The journey offered stunning views of the Lombok Strait, with the Gili Islands growing larger on the horizon—a true highlight for anyone seeking transportasi to Gili Trawangan.

Warm Welcome on Gili Trawangan
Upon arrival at Gili Trawangan Harbor, Tara stepped onto the island ready to begin her adventure. The harbor was bustling with energy, but our team made sure she had all the information she needed to find her way to Scallywags Hotel. Tara’s message after the trip said it all: “Thank you so much… wonderful service 👍.”
We always follow up with our guests to ensure their satisfaction and to see if there’s anything we can improve. Tara’s feedback was heartwarming: “Absolutely wonderful… thank you so much for your service.”
