VS
Verna SDriver was late and because of that we were late for our fast boat. We got on the second one but we had to wait 3h at the harbour.

- 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)

Jean MThe driver arrived at 7:15 instead of 7:00 after saying he would arrive at 7:30, but he was nice and super fast. Ver comfortable minivan. We made it just on time for the 9:00 speedboat from Bali to the Gilis. I would recommend to leave a lot of time before and after, just in case —no work or other transfers within at least 2 hours… But in our case it was pretty reliable.

Barbara NThe trip was comfortable, AC worked well, and our driver Gede Tias was helpful and spoke good English. The fast ferry was great too.

Stanislav OEverything was on time, and the guys were really helpful.
But the transfer vehicles were uncomfortable. We got a really tiny car for 5 people, with no space for luggage.
The bus for 10 people was even smaller than the car. The door didn’t work and stayed open during the whole transfer — it was really unsafe.

Bente I had a great experience sailing from Pandang Bai to Gili Air. Nice, comfortable and clean ferry. Felt safe.
I missed a little more information about which ferry was bording when. That being said there was no problems.
