Advantages Using Blue Water Express Services

Better Service Quality: Blue Water Express offers superior service quality compared to other fast boats.

Disadvantages Using Blue Water Express Services

Disadvantages of using Blue Water Express

1. 1. High Prices: One drawback is that Gili Getaway tends to have relatively high prices, which might not be budget-friendly for some travelers.
  2. Small Boat Size: The smaller size of their boats can result in a bumpier ride during rough weather conditions, potentially causing discomfort for passengers.
  3. Limited Space: Blue Water Express may have limited space on their boats, making it challenging to book a trip on the same day you plan to travel. This can be inconvenient for spontaneous travelers.

DISCLAIMER

We recommend that you book the boat without the shuttle service, as there are numerous negative reviews for shuttle bus services across all fast boats. If you’re seeking a more comfortable and secure journey, we suggest booking a private car through the agency where you purchased your tickets.

We had a wonderful experience with Baligili Fast Boat. The booking process was smooth, and everything was well organized from start to finish. A special thank you to Yopi and Fabricio for their outstanding service. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. They even helped carry our luggage all the way to the port, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made our trip much easier. Their kindness and attention to customers truly stood out. We highly recommend Baligili Fast Boat and would definitely use their service again on our next trip to Gili Islands. Thank you, Yopi and Fabricio, for making our journey comfortable and stress-free! 🙏😊🌴🚤

Abbiamo fatto due escursioni con questa compagnia durante la nostra luna di miele. Nostro accompagnatore è stato Yopi, una giovane guida indonesiana che possiede una maturità, una gentilezza e una professionalità davvero rare per la sua età. Lavora con Baligi Fast Boat ed è stato il nostro accompagnatore personale durante una meravigliosa escursione alle Gili Segrete di Lombok: Gili Nanggu, Gili Sudak e Gili Kedis. L’organizzazione del tour è stata impeccabile. Siamo partiti da Gili Trawangan in fast boat verso Lombok, abbiamo proseguito in auto fino al porto e da lì siamo saliti su una tipica imbarcazione locale per raggiungere queste piccole isole paradisiache. Yopi ha gestito perfettamente tutti i tempi della giornata, permettendoci di vivere ogni momento senza fretta e senza stress. Lo snorkeling è stato eccezionale: attrezzatura inclusa, fondali ricchi di coralli colorati e un bravissimo nuotatore dotato di GoPro che ci ha ripresi durante le immersioni, regalandoci ricordi indimenticabili. Abbiamo potuto ammirare un mare cristallino, pesci tropicali e la pace assoluta di luoghi ancora autentici e poco affollati. Il giorno successivo Yopi ci ha accompagnati nuovamente nel tour delle Gili più conosciute. Anche in quell’occasione si è dimostrato estremamente professionale, attento, disponibile e premuroso con tutti i partecipanti, ma sempre capace di farci sentire speciali. Oggi siamo ancora in contatto con lui perché, oltre a essere stata una guida eccezionale, è diventato un amico. È stato un vero onore condividere con Yopi una parte così speciale del nostro viaggio.
