We left an hour late but I expected it so that was alright. It was sad to see the guys making many trips carrying all of our bags in the hot sun from the waiting area to the boat. I think most people wouldn’t mind carrying their own bag.

The boat arrived on time, but the journey to Gili Air was over an hour longer than indicated :)

Everything okay. But it was so warm and they didn’t start the ac. So i think you shouldn’t advertise this.

On time and friendly crew.
Too much music on the upper deck and we had to spend part of our journey on the upper deck in the sun (between gili trawagan and gili air, i.e. about twenty minutes) because of the overbooking often practiced by companies in Bali.

A l’heure et equipage sympathique.
Trop de musique sur le pont supérieur et nous avons du passer une partie de notre trajet sur le pont supérieur au soleil (entre gili trawagan et gili air soit une vingtaine de minutes) a cause du surbooking souvent pratiqué par les compagnies a Bali.

The trip was fine. The only problem is that we ended paying twice the entrance fee of Gili T. We paid 10k when we left Nusa Penida and then when we arrived we had to pay another 10k for the entrance fee. It smells SCAM...

The boat ride was very smooth! No need to be scared, we read lots of bad rewievs before so we were dreading the trip bit there was no issue at all. The boats are a bit late and they leave aproximatly one hour after schedualed time, but other than that it was smooth sailing!

We were first driven from one port to the other by car and after a delay of just under an hour we set off in the boat, which was not air-conditioned.
