The Bus driver wasn‘t very friendly and drove very dangerously. The boat had over 40min delay and was overbooked, not everybody was able to sit down

The van was an hour late and then we waited quite awhile for a boat. Some people got to go earlier. The WhatsApp person was VERY helpful though so it wasn't nearly as stressful as it could have been. The van was very fancy.

We have been collected 30 minutes before departure of the speedboat in our hotel. The boat was pretty full, but everyone had a place to seat.

The pick-up time at the hotel was not precise (40 min wait). The boat still left on time. The boat was a bit crowded, but efficient.

L'heure de ramassage à l'hôtel n'était pas précise (attente de 40 min). La bâteau est tout de même parti à l'heure. Un peu nombreux dans le bâteau mais efficace.

If you get motion sick bring a puke bag with you. Extremely bumpy ride. At first everyone was laughing at how comically bumpy it was, but half way through everyone felt and looked miserable. We did get there though so that's something.

The check-in was a bit unconventional but fast, the pier was just a sand beach und we didn’t really get much information from the operator. But he had a good overview and everybody arrived where they were supposed to be - on time.
It started to heavily rain and “storm” while the crossing and the captain slowed down and drove very carefully, so we always felt safe.
The boat was in great condition, not crowded and we even received water for the just 40min drive. On board the operator gave us some
Information what island we were seeing and clearly told everybody who needs to leave where, since we had 3 stops in total (Yao Noi, Yao Yai and Phuket)

The pickup and the journey was very good. The boat seemed a bit too crowded, but overall a good organization.
