Everything was absolutely perfect! The tour was fantastic and very well organized. Our guide Jack was amazing — extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and by far the best English-speaking guide we’ve had so far. A big thank you as well to our driver John, who was professional and kind. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour!

Hotel pick up in time, mass of tourists at the pier, short check in, first ferry quite old, stop over in Koh PhiPhi, second ferry more modern with different kind of amenities. Mass of people got managed properly.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Koh Lanta and Phuket, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
