Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe Destination Reviews

The pickup was more than one hour earlier than announced. We received an E-Mail with the real pickup time about 30 minutes before the pickup. This is to late. Although the driver was 10 minutes earlier than announced in the E-Mail and was in hurry. The ride with the Van was dangerous for all road users, because the driver drove regardless of others and very fast. The ride with the boat was not very comfortabel but ok. This is normal because of the small boat, but it is not to everybody's taste. Customers should keep this in mind.

Customers should be informed about the stops during the trip. We had 3. Therefore it took more time. It would be nice if they sell some drinks (beer, water, cola on board).

Was meant to be a 2.5 hour trip but was actually 5 hours without anyone informing us as there were approximately 5 stops on the way. We would have booked a different company to go direct like this one was meant too if it wasn’t falsely advertised

To many people on the boat, not enough space for all to sit. It was a long trip (3 hours), which made the seating issue to a huge problem. Also the safety isn’t properly with that many on the boat. A lot of stops on the way that the ticket doesnt inform about. This made the trip about an hour longer that expected. The staff wasn’t at all helpfull for the customers who didn’t find a place to sit, so people was standing up and was very confused about how to solve the problem.

Easy to find the check in point, timely departure from the pier. We stopped at 3 islands to drop off and pick up but were only delayed about 30 minutes. The only inconvenient thing was that we were expected to carry our luggage down the floating pier to the beach which was very difficult, and they didn't have the pier pulled up to the sand so you had to step off into and walk in the water. Help would have been appreciated but overall a decent operation.

We were 2 hours late and had numerous stops that we weren’t aware off. Too many people on the boat compared to seats as well and we had someone sat on the floor in front of us

Why do you write 2,5h when it takes at least 3,5h? The ferry steps on many Islands. That is not serious.

Did not expect the boat to stop 2 times because the engine did not work properly. So went to an island to get on another boat. There was no space for the legs, because they put the suitcases under the seats. Next time different company!

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
