Extremely unhappy with our experience with Wahana. We booked a round trip to Gili Air. The evening before departure, at 8:00 PM, the company informed us that the trip had been moved up by two and a half hours due to the afternoon weather forecast. Despite some difficulty, we managed to make it for the new departure time. The return trip was far worse. The boat was scheduled for 3:30 PM. At 6:30 AM, we received an email stating that the boat had been moved up to 10:30 AM (requiring us to be at the port by 9:30 AM)—a full five hours earlier! Naturally, we were asleep at 6:30 AM, so we didn't see the message and missed the boat. Our subsequent interactions with the company were of no help at all. They offered no solutions and were very slow to respond. We had to find a solution ourselves and scramble to book with another company—which, ironically, ended up running two hours late... During the return, the sea was very calm and we had no issues, so we don't understand the reason for the schedule changes. I’m giving two stars because the boat itself was comfortable. I do not recommend them.

Très déçue par cette compagnie. À l’origine, nous avions réservé un bateau au départ de Gili Air à 10 h, avec une arrivée prévue à Padang Bai vers midi. C’était précisément pour cette raison que nous avions choisi cette compagnie : nous souhaitions arriver suffisamment tôt à Seminyak pour profiter de notre première journée. Quelques jours avant notre retour, nous avons été informées que notre arrivée serait finalement déplacée de Padang Bai à Serangan en raison d’une cérémonie traditionnelle prévue le 7 août. Je comprends parfaitement qu’une telle cérémonie puisse entraîner la fermeture du port. En revanche, puisqu’il s’agit d’un événement planifié et connu à l’avance, nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi cette modification ne nous a été communiquée qu’à la dernière minute. Si nous avions été informées plus tôt, nous aurions choisi une autre compagnie ou organisé notre voyage différemment. En plus du changement de port, notre départ a été repoussé à 12 h. Nous avons dû nous présenter une heure avant pour l’enregistrement, mais le bateau est finalement parti avec un important retard, vers 14 h. À bord, il y avait beaucoup trop de passagers. Le bateau était tellement rempli qu’il n’y avait même pas assez de places assises pour tout le monde, ce qui est inacceptable pour une traversée de plusieurs heures. À notre arrivée à Serangan, les difficultés ont continué. Personne ne nous avait informées que les Grab n’étaient pas autorisés à accéder directement au port. Si nous l’avions su, nous aurions réservé un taxi privé à l’avance. Au lieu de cela, nous avons dû marcher environ 1,5 km sous une chaleur étouffante avec de lourdes valises, dont une avec une roue cassée, jusqu’à la zone où les Grab pouvaient venir nous chercher. Une fois arrivées, il y avait énormément de monde et nous avons encore dû attendre très longtemps avant de pouvoir obtenir un véhicule. Le plus frustrant est que nous avions réservé une magnifique villa à Seminyak afin de profiter de la piscine et de nous reposer après plusieurs jours d’excursions très intenses. Nous devions initialement arriver vers midi, mais, à cause de tous ces changements et de ces retards, nous ne sommes arrivées à notre hôtel qu’aux alentours de 20 h. Nous avons donc perdu une journée entière de vacances ainsi qu’une journée d’hôtel que nous. L’organisation a été très décevante. Une meilleure anticipation, une communication plus transparente et des informations pratiques sur l’arrivée à Serangan auraient évité beaucoup de stress et de désagréments.

- Spontaneously cancellation of our booking - Delayed departure of the alternative boat - Needed changing of the boat in Gili T to go to Gili Air because of low tide: Took more time than original booking --> Delayed arrival of 4 hours (whole holiday day was lost)

They arrived one hour late. The whole process is messy. You need to check one hour in advance. They make you wait at a bar nearby and they are supposed to tell you they are ready to board. But they do not. You have to check yourself, otherwise you stay out. You need to leave the luggage in the middle of the street, and you do not see it back until the end of the trip, hoping that it is there to pick up.
