Koh Lipe to Langkawi Destination Reviews

It was very bust so it did get a bit chaotic and we were delayed by an hour but they call out numbers and then you walk down and get on a long tail boat to the big boat taking you to langkawi. Your bags also get taken to the boat on a long tail boat before you get on and your passports are put into a tray and you get them back on the boat ( they ask you where you are from and give you all the passports from your country so that you can pick yours out ) . Getting off the boat after arriving in langkawi was the worst part as everyone was trying to get their luggage as other people were trying to get off.

Check in at least an hour and a half before departure is needed. The immigration process is quick (ticket and passport check) but there are a lot of people so the queues are long. Your passport is taken away and given back when you’re on the boat. Luggage is put in a giant pile on the beach and then on the boat. Passengers and luggage are ferried to and from the speedboat by long tail boat. All in all many small steps to the process but it works and the boat was only 20 minutes late leaving (I was expecting more!). Boat trip was fine, there are toilets and AC on the boat. Getting off the boat all the luggage is taken off first and lined up on the jetty where you have to find yours. Immigration was reasonably fast into Malaysia. Took a while to get a Grab to the airport but we had plenty of time for our flight. We had 4.5 hours between supposed arrival of the boat and departure of our flight, it was a good amount of time with buffer for if there had been any significant delays.

Ferry was not timely. There was a strong diesel fuel smell for the entire trip. Transfers from small boat to ferry were difficult as a 5'3" female and staff were not over eager to help.
