Jerusalem TCommunication from BaliParadiso/CMP was awful. The night prior to pickup, we received a WhatsApp message saying our originally scheduled 16:00 ferry was canceled due to issues with the boat, so they had to put us on an earlier ferry and pickup time (10:30 pickup instead of 13:30). We accepted that, but the next morning we messaged repeatedly to confirm 10:30 pickup and got no response. I called several times, no response. We waited at pickup for 45 mins, still no response. At this point we believed we were scammed. Also we were trying to coordinate late checkout with our villa since we didn’t know if we could catch the ferry at all. Finally, about 1 hr after scheduled pickup, got a text saying they will instead pick us up at 13:30 and changed our ferry back to original time of 16:00 with Eka Jaya. The driver did end up coming at the new time, but we had to rush there to make the ferry (we showed up with 15 mins to spare, when we were supposed to check in 30 mins prior). When we got there, nobody from Eka Jaya helped clarify the route or baggage help. Instead, people wearing Eka Jaya shirts offered to help and took our bags to the boat, but then hassled us for money telling us to give them 150k IDR for walking our bags over. We would have taken them ourselves if we knew they weren’t helping as a service by Eka Jaya. Then on the ferry we were CONSTANTLY harassed by staff to get a taxi ride with them, even when we said multiple times that we have a ride. We almost got off the boat at the wrong pier because they never announced at any point that we were not yet at Bangsal and instead stopping at gili first. Overall such a disappointment and was a confusing and frustrating experience from start to finish. Would not recommend booking with BaliParadiso/CMP/EkaJaya. Save yourself the stress. The only good thing from the whole experience was the driver that finally picked us up was nice and the van was comfy.

Oscar The transfer with Magir Trans and the boat ride went very smoothly thanks to my driver Rijan. We were on time and had enough time for a long lunch in the Harbour!

Migle BI had a wonderful experience with my driver, Rijan. He was punctual, kind, and made the journey very comfortable. He drove safely, knew the best routes, and was always happy to share helpful tips about the area. I felt really well taken care of. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a reliable driver!

Jonas LEverything went smooth, the check in is not directly at the harbour and you need to bring the baggage there yourself. The hall at the port was a little crowded and chaotic but afterall it worked. The ride was relatively smooth, given that the boat is rather large compared to others. Would book again
