the Greeter in Gili Air does not ask all fo the questins and points he needs at once : he had to return to me 3 times (after checking in at his desk!) to :
- register me
- then ask for pier /visa fees
- then ask for passport copy
= that creates stress...
IN THE MEAN TIME
- he did not forget to make me pay 200 K for a "private driver"
- he forgets to give the seasick tablets
THEN he sends us under the heavy rain to board in = he could have organized, with the heavy weather and rain we had, to make sure everybody had disembark from the previous boat before sending us under the heavy rain
Boat was late and no announcements from staff. They tell you arrive 30 - 60 mins before departure, and you just sit there with no info. Hot and crowded seating area because boat was overbooked. It was a fast trip so could have been worse.. Also note that customs agents are charging 10,000 port entrance fee at Gili Air when published cost is 5,000. I mentioned to the ticket agent but was told it 'separate' from them #scammers

As someone who is sea sick and incredibly nervous I was very hesitant I’m getting this boat. However I was pleasantly surprised, the boat was on time and half full, the sea wasn’t too choppy and so it was an ok experience! Very glad I got this bigger boat, rather than the little speed boats which are downright dangerous!

The boat from Gili T to Padangbai always go through Gili Air and Lombok so add extra hour. Plus the boat was late half an hour. There is no airco so its a hot box you are sitting in. The water gets in to the boat. It was like you are in Sauna for 3 hours.
They book for more than the seating capacity. People were standing while travelling. Staff was rude.
