Koh Phi Phi to Koh Lanta Destination Reviews

My boat was cancelled with no warning, so I arrived at the pier to be told I had to wait three hours for another one. I wouldn’t have minded if I had been told earlier! So that ruined what I had planned for that day.

The boat left ~35 minutes late because we waited for another boat to arrive. Didn’t feel very safe on the wavy waters. Its not their fault there were heavy winds but I felt like they didn’t handle it very well. A bigger boat may have felt safer

The ferry boat has seen better days but it was all fine for a one hour journey, left and arrived on time. Prebooking taxi in the boat was also helpful!
