Phuket to Ao Nang Destination Reviews

JO
Fast, organised and smooth! Staff were quick at boarding passengers and we set off on time. The journey to Krabi was smooth (sunny weather during the off season) and we arrived earlier than expected in Krabi! All in all a good experience with no issues!

Awesome ride. It was a bigger speedboat so it was smooth and didn't get tossed around like one I was on in Belize so I'm grateful I didn't have any "white knuckle" moments. The staff were very professional and it was a great, fast ride!

We arrived earlier at the Bus station so they offered us to take the earlier bus (at 11:20), the connection with the second Van was perfectly on time. Everything about the travel was good.
