Bali to Gili Trawangan Destination Reviews

J
Boat was on time, staff were friendly, comfortable journey, my only downside was the tax price displayed on 12GO was a different price than what we were told at the office and when asked why, just told ‘’you need to get in contact with your agency and get them to the change the price, it’s not our fault’’ I didn’t think this was really a valid answer as they are displaying their services on this website so they should be the ones to make sure the information displayed is correct not me the customer… apart from that it was a good experience overall

Overall experience was good. The car was too cramped (4 people cramped into a 4 seater), but it got us there. The driver (Rijan, Magir Trans Bali) arrived on time after sharing his location and did he best to get us to the port in good time.

Very good, I like my driver. They pick up me in hotel even before the time, and very on time. The driver is very friendly and polite, even for local.

Ajud is Indonesian, but he has the timing of a Japanese man, the timing was perfect. He also drive like a pro. Plus, he has good music, and if you ask nicely, he will let you play your own music. I would have put 10* but only 5* possible. Thank you very much, will do it again just for the trip ;)

The pickup was awesome! Everything worked perfectly fine. But at the harbor, we had to wait for three hours to get on our boat. So instead of arriving around 2 p.m., we got there around 4:30 p.m. It wasn’t because of the boat, but because of the waiting time — that was really annoying. But the boat ride itself was great again!

Very easy trip from Canggu to Gili T. We got picked up at our hostel by our allocated driver, Gede Tias, who took us all the way to the port.
