It was good. We have been to early there, so we left 1 hour earlier

Clear where to go, easy to reach with scooter. Check-in 1h before departure is a bit long. We could do easily with 20minutes and still have time to get coffee. Safe journey.

It was a very simple process. The "harbour" is really just the boats on the beach - you arrive, there is only one little tent to exchange your ticket and then you hop on a small open boat (no real seats, you have to board through the beach so don't wear tennis shoes as they will get wet). We had the 9h30am one, but got there 8h55 so they allowed us to go on the 9am. Not much comfort and you need to carry your bags to the boat in the sand, so if you have a bit suitcase on wheels (like mine), be ready to lift it to the boat.

The trip was fast and efficient, but the people at the ticket office need more customer service training. They say you need to check in an hour before so they know how many people have paid for the boat, but the y should know this already because the tickets were bought and paid for online? So ridiculous to ask people to ‘check in’ an hour before (6:30am) for a 15 minute speedboat ride.

Nice man at the ticket office. Boat was good. I don’t know if it was on schedule, it just leaves whenever there are enough people.

The boat wasn’t the same that shown at the photo, when you buy ticket online. Also they write, that you have to come to port before one hour to check in. But when we came, they said just came later, when 15 minutes left. When we ask where to wait, they didn’t say clearly where, what the boat will be. Too much ambiguity. I would definitely not choose their service next time.

The boat departs when there are 10 people, so you don't have to wait long. You can reach the boat via the small section of beach. It's a leisurely 15-20 minute ride to Yellow Bridge. Everything was great
