Everything was on time, and the guys were really helpful. But the transfer vehicles were uncomfortable. We got a really tiny car for 5 people, with no space for luggage. The bus for 10 people was even smaller than the car. The door didn’t work and stayed open during the whole transfer — it was really unsafe.

I had a great experience sailing from Pandang Bai to Gili Air. Nice, comfortable and clean ferry. Felt safe. I missed a little more information about which ferry was bording when. That being said there was no problems.

On time departure and comfortable upper deck. But the requirement to check in 1 hr before departure seems useless and overrated

Overall, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, everything was fine, the driver arrived earlier than scheduled but let me know well in advance. The car was comfortable and spacious, and the driver had a great music selection. We left Uluwatu at 8:40 instead of 9, and arrived at the port around 11:10. Once there, the boat staff told us that the boat would leave at 1:30 p.m. and that we should come back at 1 p.m. According to the information on 12goasia, the departure was supposed to be at 9 a.m. and arrival at Gili Air at 2 p.m. I don't know how we are supposed to get to Gili Air at 2 p.m. if the boat leaves at 1:30 p.m. We had to find something to do for two hours in the port, where everyone tries to sell you something, push something on you, or mislead you for financial gain. We left at 1:30 p.m. and arrived at Gili Air at 4:15 p.m., which is 135 minutes later than the information provided by Bali Magir Trans when selling their services. If I had known that I would be waiting pointlessly for two hours at the port, which would make me arrive two hours later, I would have used someone else's services. The boat had air conditioning, the ride was pleasant, and the staff were also helpful.

The driver couldn't find your office and neither could we, the office was actually named something else which made it hard and confusing to find and a bit stressful
