2 hours late to destination. Not enough seats for everyone. Felt like cattle. Air conditioning barley worked

It was a fairly efficient experience but the seating is very cramped so it’s not comfortable for 2 hours. If i was to book again I would go for a larger ferry where you can move around rather than speedboat

The boat did not stop in the harbor. The passengers were transboarded to a smaller boat in the middle of the bay. Hence the trip time is false. Add 40mn

Perfect score for wahana, 5 star. We got the ferry from Padang bai to Gili air. The got a new catamaran ferry, which is perfect. I didnt even feel the waves. Its very big, you can walk around it and has a deck on the stern. Service was very very good. You got a free water, they where handing out free sea sickness pills of you wanted and also a bag. The catamaran ferry had a big flatscreen tv where they played a movie (Fantastic Four) in English with Indonesian subtitels. Would recommend it for sure. This boat was even better then eka. But i dont know the other boats.

The Overall Ride was good. Boat was pretty new and comfortable. We Booked the Ferry from Paddang Bai to Gili Air at 11:30. Check-In went smoothly, but when I asked staff at 11:25 when we get on Board the boat they Said that the Boat is in for maintenance. Nobody told us that Before, only After asking again. We then had to wait 2 Hours for the next Boat departing….
