The schedule boat was changed and they only told us around 10pm in the evening when we had already booked the transfer to the harbour. The driver from Sanur and ubud stop 2 times for personal things, we didn’t appreciate

The company failed to provide us with the transfer from the port to our hostel, our driver was apparently stuck in traffic for over 3 hours (before the boat departed from Nusa and still had no changed once we arrived back to the port in Bali) with really poor communication as we tried to ask the operators if there would be a replace driver or if we should book our own taxi.

The driver Rizky was very informative and nice. There was quite much traffic, but the car was comfortable and the driver played good music so the ride went fast.

Frank A

The ferry from Sampalan was cancelled. The Idola office was unoccupied. We had to take a 30-minute taxi ride to another port, where we were rebooked onto a boat with a different operator. This was only possible thanks to the help of our hotel manager. The departure was delayed by 45 minutes.

The driver was polite, calm, and very pleasant. Furthermore, there was a road that cars couldn't enter, and the distance beyond that was too long to walk, so the driver had no choice, but with the help of local people and hotel staff, we were able to get to the hotel by riding on the back of his motorbike.
