1.5 hour delay. Then forced getting off in Gili Trawangan (first stop). Left in Chaos. Wanted for nearly one hour. Arrived in Gili Air 4 hours after departure from Padang bai.

I bought a ticket for a company for a trip duration of about 1.40h but they changed the company and the duration was about 3h. The boat was quite bad, with a lot a noise anche they also didn’t drop off my bag in the right place.

The boat left over an hour and a half after schedule and took over 40 minutes longer than advertised meaning we arrived at our final destination over 2 and a half hours later than we should have done.

Overall we got to where we needed to get to and only shortly after our expected arrival. However, we woke up at 7am in Ubud, to a text from the ferry company telling us we needed to check in at 11am rather than the 12.30am we had been told was the check in time when we booked the ticket. Apparently the weather meant the boat had to leave early. So we woke the children up early, panic packed, changed our taxi booking and left m early to ensure we arrived to check in for our ferry at 11am. We were then checked in and told the boat would actually be leaving at 11.30am so please rush to the pier to be ready. We did so and then were left sitting there with hundreds of other passengers waiting. In the end we sat there for more than 90minutes until eventually our ferry was boarded. We eventually left the harbour at 13.15, just a few minutes before our scheduled departure time. All that stress for nothing.

Blue Water Express provided an efficient check in and baggage handling. The waiting area was clean and comfortable. The ferry had comfortable seats and although the crossing was quite rough we didn't feel unsafe. Overall good ferry operator.
