Yes you are right, save that money for tipping better.

I read through bro baby postings, i assume using of maxi taxi driver is free to farm/return trip to terminal.

Before trip is finalized, I had few questions though:

1) They will be getting commission from the joint right? Hence, i just need to give them roughly 30k tips per trip?

2) If use them to go eat seafood assuming dolphin, do i need to pay for their taxi fare or they get a cut from the restaurant as well?

3) If i tell the taxi driver dolphin makanan laut , will he understand?

4) Do all the bros here book hotel like maxi through booking.com (391k) and pay in IDR upon arrival or there is a cheaper source like travel agency concept?

5) Cheaper way is go by Indon Falcon 1 way ticket ($31) and book my return ticket there (IDR equivalent to around $20 include Indonesia 65k seaport tax). This way will save roughly $10 for my girl tips right?

6) If request girls from Villa to come herself, do i have to pay for her taxi/ojek?

Brief trip itinerary as follow:

1) 8am ferry to Balai
2) Take Van to near maxi hotel for breakfast
3) Drop barang at hotel lobby
4) Request maxi driver to bring me to Villa
5) Request the girl to come together or 1 hour later
6) Lunch or Round 1
7) Dinner at Dolphin Restaurant
8) Round 2
9) __________ ,decide on the day itself
10) Round 3/breakfast/kiss goodbye, no idea how things will turn out
11) 10.30am, take van to terminal for departure back to Singapore.

If there is anything recommendation or advise, please free feel to let me know.
