The trip went very well, despite a slight delay contrary to what had been announced. On the other hand, the seats in the boat are really tight and the air conditioning didn't work.

Le trajet s'est très bien passé, malgré un léger retard contrairement à ce qui était annoncé. Par contre les places dans le bateau sont vraiment serrées et la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas.

We left the port of Sanur on time. Our first stop was to be Gili Trawangan and the crossing was to take 3.5 hours (according to 12Asia). Our first stop after half an hour was Nusa Penida, where everyone had to get off the boat. Those who wanted to continue were "parked" somewhere on the jetty in the sun without any further information. After asking several times, we were told that we would wait for a larger boat and then travel to Nusa Lembongan, from there to Lombok and finally to Gili. The boat arrived about an hour later. We drove to Nusa Lembongan and collected more guests, which made the boat incredibly full. There were rows of 4 seats, but the seats are made for very small and narrow people. For this reason, it was very cramped and cozy for the next three hours. There was no air conditioning and the windows had to be closed due to the swell. Fortunately, we drove from Nusa Lembongan directly to Gili, contrary to what the helper in Penida had told us, and reached Gili T 1.5 hours late. At least we arrived safely and at all.

Wir haben überpünktlich den Hafen von Sanur verlassen. Unser erster Stopp sollte Gili Trawangan sein und die Überfahrt sollte 3,5 Stunden dauern (laut Informationen 12Asia). Unser erster Halt war nach einer halben Stunde Nusa Penida, hier mussten alle vom Boot runter. Die die weiterfahren wollten, wurden irgendwo auf dem Steg ohne weitere Informationen in der Sonne "abgestellt". Nach mehrmaligen Nachfragen haben wir die Information erhalten, dass wir auf ein größeres Boot warten und danach nach Nusa Lembongan fahren würden, von dort aus nach Lombok und zuletzt nach Gili. Etwa eine Stunde später kam das Boot. Wir fuhren nach Nusa Lembongan und sammelten weitere Gäste ein, dadurch wurde das Boot unglaublich voll. Es gab Reihen mit je 4 Plätzen, die Plätze sind aber für sehr kleine und schmale Menschen gemacht. Aus diesem Grund war es die nächsten drei Stunden sehr eng und kuschelig. Keine Klimaanlage, die Fenster mussten aufgrund des Wellengangs geschlossen werden. Wir fuhren von Nusa Lembongan glücklicherweise entgegen der Aussage von dem Helfer in Penida direkt nach Gili, erreichten Gili T dann mit einer 1,5 Verspätung. Immerhin sind wir sicher und überhaupt angekommen.
Best boat. Felt so safe and comfortable feel asleep on the way the boat was so calm.

The trip was fine. We left on time. We got to the destination (Gili T) on time but because it was very crowded in the port just boats took a little longer. People who had to go to Gili Air or Gili Meno therefore left a little later.

De tocht was prima. We vertrokken op tijd. We waren op tijd op de bestemming (Gili T) maar omdat het erg druk in de haven net boten was duurde het wat langer. De mensen die naar Gili Air of Gili Meno moesten vertrokken daarom wat later.

I was uncertain from what I had read. But leaving from Sanur with them went well. You go to the post, they identify everyone and take you as a group to the port. They met almost perfect with the times and the bags all ok. The seats were comfortable and roomy.

Tenía incertidumbre por lo que había leído. Pero salir desde Sanur con ellos fue bien. Vas al puesto, identifican a todos y te llevan en grupo al puerto. Cumplieron casi perfecto con las tiempos y las maletas todas bien. Los asientos cómodos y espacio.

Wanderlust was a very good company to travel from Bali to Gili Islands. We red so many bad experiences from other companies before, so we were very sceptical. In comparation to other experiences we were on time (only 30min plus) and had no other issus. Everybody was kind and we paid way less than for other companies.
