They let us wait in the middle of the ocean for 1 hour in a boat without seats for everyone. Th whole ride took 3 hours instead of 1.5 hours.

Boat very late, organisation not great. Had to wait in line for half hour before being sent on a transfer boat, as the ferry was unable to come to the harbour due to the water level. Then had to wait another 20 + minutes on the transfer boat because our ferry hadn't even arrived yet. The boat itself was comfortable and the crew friendly. Air con and some snacks offered for purchase. Recommend to check tides and chose a high tide departure from Gili

The indications are not precise. The bus was too small, the luggage is placed at the foot of the people, there is not much space for my legs, whether in the bus or the boat

Using this connection was a bit stressful. Couldn’t find checkin counter at Gili Air. Contacted Bali Paradiso 2 days before via Whats App - was told then boat had delayed departure time. Also was told to be careful of “naughty” scam drivers at Padang Bai. (They said I needed internet connection at port so driver could contact me) I said make sure driver has my name & booking ref#.
