Hat Yai to Koh Lipe Destination Reviews

We left the airport early since everyone had already checked in, and maybe because of that we arrived to the port about 30 mins early. Arriving at the port/ferry was a bit chaotic but it all worked out and we made it to Koh Lipe right around 1pm, as advertised. At one point the driver suggested we'd get to Koh Lipe at about 3pm because the ferry would make multiple stops, but that didn't happen. I don't know if we just got lucky or not.

Not much to tell. Pick up was on time and we arrived close to our estimated time of arrival. Gusty winds made for a slightly bumpy ride but that’s nature for ya.

Booking with Hi Lipe was the best decision. Fast confirmation, easy pick-up from the airport, and seamless transfer to the boat. The whole journey was simple and comfortable.

Hi Lipe contacted us the day before and organized to pick us up directly at the hotel instead of the meeting point. We've been accompanied from the van to the boat by a service member. We lost something in the van and service team organized to send it with the boat the next day. Very good and quick communication.
