It was great. However the driver didnt send me to the location I wanted and dropped me by the side of the road. I had to walk for about 500 meters to my hotel. Disappoined.

The ride was not 1h 30m, we had to stop and wait in Railey Beach for some people to be dropped off and change boats… We were late for 45m. This was annoying because we specifically picked this ferry, because it was faster

Koh Phi Phi Pier to Ao Nang Pier. This one was the big ferry, and even though it took longer, it was a lot better than speedboats. My girlfriend gets sea sick very fast, but with the ferry you didn’t even notice the waves + it was air conditioned and super comfortable. 30 min delay vs the planned time was totally fine because it was so comfortable
