Very bad, it was uncortable, the AC wasnt working and 2 hour delay. They almos lost out luggage and they forced us to change boats in Gili T because it was late for then to go back to Bali. At thar pier we were misstreated. I would never buy here again

Instead of 4 hours and 45 minutes, trip from Ubud to Gili Air lasted exactly 7 hours and 30 minutes. The van was very small. Besides running late, the fast ferry was very comfortable.

The driver was very professional and friendly. On the way to the harbour he told us a lot about Bali and their culture and also provided all the information for the boarding

A taxi picked us up in time at our hotel in Ubud. Everything was fine until halfway through the road he stops us and tells us that from there and to the port of Padangbai another driver takes us with another car. The new driver took a long time to arrive and when he picks us up, he goes VERY fast, overtaking without due precautions. We were about to collide with another vehicle and we were very scared throughout the way, despite the fact that when we arrived to the port there were still 40 minutes left for the boat to leave. A very bad experience. However, the boat was comfortable and very good, although we arrived at our destination an hour later than expected.

The driver didn't call us before arriving at the hotel, but they called us from the reception. The boat was nice and fast. Overall good esperoence. But the timings are nit correct. We booked with option to arrive at 13:40, they told us that the boat leaves at 13:40, so we arrived at Gili Air at 16:00. So take your time and don’t book other things before arriving at the final stop.

The driver was 2h late and I had to chase and chase and call to get any assistance or answers if and when they are coming. It eventually all worked out but it was not the best no. Made it at the end so grateful for that 🙏
