Everything was in time ( Transfer from Amed region which was offered extra from the ferry company and departure of the ferry). The boat is fast and due to calm weather it was a smooth ride to Gili Air. Booked the ferry online with 12go.asia

Great guides, amazing scenery, great videos. Would recommend.
PRO’s
- Friendly driver
- Private transfer (i initially thought i had booked a shared van)
- Could smoke in the car on the way
- The speedboat to Gili Air wasn’t as bad as some reviews say — still took a motion sickness pill just in case
- Did successfully arrive at destination
CON’s
- No respect of the scheduled pick up time: despite pick up time was 7:00 AM (and to be ready at 6:30 AM to be sure), driver arrived at 5:55 AM, before even my alarm rung or sun had rise… it was a panicked & rushed awakening
- Totally unresponsive customer service: messaged them through their whatsapp hotline the day before (both morning & evening) to confirm real estimated pick up time: no answer, messages left unread. The next morning, when advised driver was way earlier than scheduled and I would have appreciated a reply to my previous messages, my messages were then left on read with no answer. They obviously don’t care.
- Driver drove extremely fast (and like a maniac!) to get to the pier way too early — so fast that I got there over an hour ahead of time, which is way too much free time at the pier (which makes even more ridiculous to have picked me up so in advance)... Moreover, the driver’s English was so limited, couldn’t answer my questions
- Van was not in good shape, it was damaged and fallen off pieces were taped: doesn’t aspire confidence
- Tax at the pier was 30K IDR (and not 10-20K IDR as stated in the confirmation)
FRIENDLY ADVICE
- nice coffee shops at the pier while you wait, plan to have a quick breakfast there
- Do not accept anyone’s offer to carry your luggage at the pier unless you have lots of money to spend —- they will literally ask for all your money for the service (and beside, it’s such a short walk anyway)
