Gili Air to Lombok Destination Reviews

Unimpressed with the service. The boat was a completely different one from the one shown on booking. Also the driver insisted on putting an extra person on the 3 person row of the seats in the car. 4 people we were extremely squashed for 2 hours drive. Would not recommend this company

Functional service. Harbour admin trouble and weather meant trip was 1.5 hours longer than scheduled. Cabin had strong diesel smell when the windows were closed.

It was the slow ferry, it’s only 20mins but it costs 18000 rupiah. We waited over an hour for the van to arrive, another girl we met had been waiting over 2 hours. Better to book boat yourself and find a taxi on the other side. They did find us in the port so that was nice but yeah. Also the driver forgot to drop someone at a different location so we had to turn around and back track, adding another 40min to journey.

Friday 11:30. Boat was in time, but have to wait 1,5h for the driver because of friday prayer. It is every friday at the same time, so just don‘t offer this trip at this time.

Absolutely seamless! Communication was great, the boat was waiting for us at the jetty on Gili Air on time and the car was already waiting for us when we arrived on Lombok. Obviously a little more expensive than the public boat and a taxi but great for when you need to be at the airport early!

It was a bit chaotic at the port upon departure from Gili Air and arrival at Bangsal Port, but the sailing itself was fine.
