***Not Express*** This company has a very different idea of what “express” means. Their definition of express includes multiple island layovers/ stops, changing ferries, and other delays. I have yet to have one trip with this company actually arrive on time or be a truly express trip.

Overall the trip went well, for some strange reason the mini bus driver at the end decided to drop people off In strange order. *info* If travelling during peak season book your tickets early as possible, all the daytime tickets were sold out for THREE days over NYE

The driver wqs driving unnecessarily dangerous, always overtaking other cars. He could make the ride a lot smoother, that would be nice

There were to many people on the buss. So the luggage needed to be placed in the middle. So when people were going out they steps on our bags and some of my items are broken
