The indications are not precise. The bus was too small, the luggage is placed at the foot of the people, there is not much space for my legs, whether in the bus or the boat

Using this connection was a bit stressful. Couldn’t find checkin counter at Gili Air. Contacted Bali Paradiso 2 days before via Whats App - was told then boat had delayed departure time. Also was told to be careful of “naughty” scam drivers at Padang Bai. (They said I needed internet connection at port so driver could contact me) I said make sure driver has my name & booking ref#.

they contacted us the evening before with all the details regarding our trip, like the meeting points, so their communication was great. the ferry and the van were comfortable, even though the van trip to uluwatu of course took quite long (4 hours). the only negative thing was that the driver seemed very tired while driving. i hope he gets enough time off to rest in between the drives.

When booking the travel from Gili air to padang padang beach it showed me arrival time as 14:20 it was a mix of ferry + shuttle. Apparently the arrival time was only the ferry, not the shuttle bus. However usually that route takes 2 -3 hours depending on traffic. What was not communicated at all was that the shuttle would first drive up into Ubud heavy Traffic to drop of 1 person and only then drive down into the direction of Uluwatu. This added at least 3 hours to the overall drive meaning we arrived after 20:00 in the evening.

The trip was very well organized, I got all information on time and everything went as planned. Pranandika Arya Hudatara from Magir Trans Bali was such a great driver, he made it easy to meet at the harbor, very friendly person and a talented driver that made the ride very pleasant.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
