It was easy to find the pick up spot, and the bus left on time. It was very full. They stopped about and hour into the drive to allow a break and get snacks. We arrived to the ferry port, and waited about 5 minutes. We were ushered onto a fast boat. This was the only negative part. The steps down to the fast boat makes it very very hard to carry your luggage. I think spending a couple hundred dollars to build a ramp rather than steps would be a major upgrade. After the fast boat, about 5 minutes, we were ushered onto another bus, and driven to our hotel.

Great trip. Unfortunately delays and I did not check the emails. Wish we could put out WhatsApp number when booking as that’s what they prefer.
