What crossing with Ekajaya feels like
“Smoothest crossing of the trip. The crew helped us with luggage at both ends and we were on Gili Air within two hours of leaving our hotel in Ubud.”

“Booked same-day during a holiday weekend and still got seats. Air conditioning worked, seats were comfortable, no complaints.”
Marcus Chen
Singapore · Nusa Dua to Nusa Lembongan
“Our group of eight needed one boat with reliable timing to make a connecting flight from Lombok. Ekajaya's staff confirmed everything by WhatsApp the night before.”
