Gili Trawangan to Bali Destination Reviews

The van driver offered each passenger a ride to their respective hotels for extra money for his pocket, causing us a delay of 2 hours and a half!

Overall, the trip was comfortable and well organized. The only downside is that the company advertises an arrival time that doesn’t match reality. Just like on our trip to the islands, we arrived much later than scheduled - this time almost 1.5 hours late. Instead of arriving at 3:30 PM, we reached the destination close to 5:00 PM because the boat departed later and the journey took longer than expected. I don’t understand why they don’t provide realistic arrival times, as it makes it very difficult to plan the rest of your vacation.

When I contacted the operator the day before my trip, as they didn’t get in touch with me, they didn’t reply to me for 20 hours about where to meet the driver and at what time. The boat was good and the driver was on time which was great. The vehicle was very tight, with our big bags packed in around us and backpacks on our laps for 3 hours. We were meant to arrive at 3:50pm and didn’t arrive until 5:30pm, due to traffic but just allow extra time.

Everything was late. The ferry and the shuttle were both late and I had to hail a taxi so I wouldn’t miss my flight.

Excellent driver. Ricky was helpful during our trip, communicated well about pick up location and drove safely and ride was comfortable. Please not that it took 7 hours to get from Gili T to Uluwatu hotel instead of advertised 3 hours and 45 minutes.

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.
