Late going and late coming back, which is not their fault completely as it was the public who were late getting to the pier. We got stuck on some sand in the middle of the river and they had to get 2 people on the boat to help the driver push the boat off the sand. Overall, it was cheap but just really uncomfortable.

The engine wasn’t running very well - it needed lots of attention from the driver. We had to keep stopping because of this.

Wasn’t happy with the transfer waited where we were told but the driver was waiting elsewhere … flight was delayed however I did provide the flight number so they could track .. the person at the office that I was chatting to via WhatsApp ,to find out abt the transfer would respond to 2 msgs and then go quiet for a while … The ferry part wasn’t explained properly .. no help with luggage .. and it wasn’t a ferry but rather a long tail boat that was filled to capacity .. and out luggage got wet in the process

Airport transfer was a bad experience. The car was dirty semelles of gasoline and was in very poor condition also the driver drove badly. Once at the port we waited 1 hour because there weren’t enough passengers they only depart when they have 10 people I do not recommend
