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)

Luna BHad a great travel. I did the trip with Rijan and had a great travel. The drive was very smooth and I felt very safe all the time. Would recommend!

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.

Sarah KDriver arrived on time, easy transport and delivery to the ferry stop. We were driven to a stop and then got in another vehicle to take us to the ferry port. They then dropped us at the port and then we waited there to be taken to the ferry. My only complaint was this wasn’t very clear (but I like to know plans ahead of time). Once we were there it was all okay though.

Luca Dthey told us to really be on time ... just to wait 2h at a restaurant at the dock and after that wait about 1,5 -2h at the dock again
But worst was that were supposed to change from the speed boat to a better fisher boat with sneakers on and a lot of baggage and supposed to walk through the sand and water to get on the boat at Lombok
