Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi Destination Reviews

E
The worst speedboat ever. Not safe, i think we have broken something about engine because we had to stop in the middle of the sea to check it and then we navigate so slow, everybody was nauseated.

The trip is 100 Baht more expensive then the others, says it includes the van and takes 45 minutes. It does not include the van and takes 2hours. It seems different operators are overpromising and not delivering just to win clients. No support after the purchase. We still got to the destination without problems but I hate being scammed even for such small amounts. We also had additional stress looking for transport to pier in the very morning.

Got the job done. We got there with about 45 minutes delay. Most people got a seat but about 8 people had to sit on the floor. Maybe that's not the operators fault though. Overall, a bit more information would have been helpful.

The sea was really really rough. The waves had 3meters and the driver of the boat knew how to handle them . We were just 9 people on board . Sometimes it was really scary . Instead of 3o minutes we were on Phi Phi in more than one hour . But safe .

Went from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi. Pickup van was a little late but they held the boat for us. The speedboat ride was smooth and quick.

Got us from A to B on time. Truck pick up from hotel and clear transfer onto speedboat. Speedboat wasn’t our favourite, but that’s a personal reflection and not the fault of the provider. It was at least fast from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi.

Smooth, but the captains photo op to show that all passengers were wearing their life jackets is doctored a bit.
