Hat Yai to Koh Lipe Destination Reviews

SC
Excellent service, would highly recommend to use and will book it again myself. The only possibke improvement would be arouns the confusing situation at the boat. There's a checkin process that had to happen twice, not sure why, and a misdirection on the pier to take the boat. That being said it's small pier, we easily made sense of it and it was a good service.

Everything went smoothly! On the first day, I missed my departure because my bus was late, but they rebooked me for the next day free of charge without any problem. Great service and super helpful staff!

The speedboat ride was incredibly rough. We got soaked and nauseous. They should drive more slowly.

Overall really good. Except the ferry to Koh Lipe. We were told we were going to arrive by 1pm more or less. The ferry stopped in two islands for 20 so that people could take pictures. I didn’t pay for a tour, I paid for the transportation.

The experience was very smooth from pick up to arriving on the island. Staff were wonderful and was great to have someone help guide you on the pier. You get your own dedicated person to help you get onto the boat even if there are multiple groups in the car. Van was very comfortable and would definitely use Hi Lipe again.
