Ao Nang to Phuket Destination Reviews

AR
They leave early!! The boat was scheduled for a 1pm departure- they loaded up the boat at 12:40pm, and left at 12:43pm. The instructions say arrive 30 minutes early-- listen to these insurrections that you receive on the booking receipt. The boat itself had super smelly engines. And the ride itself was bumpy (we had a perfectly clear day with no bad weather. I can't imagine what it'd be like on a bad weather day. Sit in the back of the boat if you don't want as many bumps)

we were supposed to get picked up at 1pm, actually got picked up at 2.30pm. If we hadn’t texted the mentioned number we wouldn’t even have had any confirmation that they were on their way/ they were running late. When the bus arrived, there was no space for our luggage because the trunk was so small. We had to change drivers half way through and both of them specifically asked me (19yo female) to sit next to them in the front seat, which was quite weird. The drive that should have taken 4-4.5h took 5.5 hours so not a great experiece overall.

On time and very organised. Also I recommend their transport in Phuket. The only minus is not enough of place for legs.

The boat was not on time. Had to wait for 30 min in rain. The boat navigator did fine but the boat was not comfortable.
