Overall experience is dated poor due to the reckless driving by the minibus driver from Ao Nang to Pakbara pier. Continuously speeding, driving on the other side of the road, getting up close to vehicles in front and beeping to get them to move out of the way. There were multiple occasions where he slammed on his brakes because cars ahead had slowed and there was no room for him to overtake.

Great smooth transfer from Aonang to Koh Lipe. Very organised professional service. Spacious comfortable bus from Aonang to Pak Bara Pier and straight onto speedboat without any hanging around at Pak Bara to Koh Lipe. No stops at other places on the speedboat as i’d read some people had experienced so a very good service I would recommend. Recieved a text night before about my specific pick up time and was picked up on time. Many thanks!

The speedboat was going far to fast for the conditions of the sea. Baggage was falling everywhere , he was hitting the waves like a madman. This felt like he was doing this as sport and no consideration for the comfort passengers at all.

Van transfer was on time and very good, had a stop midway for WC/Coffee. Speedboat on time, however very uncomfortable because of the heat, i guess there is nothing operator can do about this. (Fans?)
