Pünktliche Abfahrt und Ankunft. Die erste Fähre (Koh Lanta —> Koh Lipe war sehr voll und ich saß drei Stunden sehr gequetscht. Zudem war keine Spritzschutzvorrichtung am Speedboot. Bereits nach wenigen Minuten war ich komplett nass. Alles in allem eine eher unangenehme Fahrt. Der zweite Teil von Koh Lipe —> Langkawi war auf einer richtigen Fähre und damit angenehmer.
The speedboat was fantastic- the crew was polite and organized. The arrival into Koh Lipe to have our passports stamped for our exit was explained. We did spend about 1 1/2 hours on Koh Lipe though. We decided to make Lemonade so we had lunch and a few drinks on the beach. Then we took the slow ferry to Langkawi. We specifically booked the speedboat which advertised a trip of about 4 hours. (Yes, we saw the other options that included the ferry - we didn’t want those.) The trip took over 7 hours - the ferry was comfortable, but we were hoping to spend the afternoon on Langkawi, not the ferry. The border station for arrival was also a bit slow - although we’ve experienced slower. We left Koh Lanta at 10:30 AM and didn’t arrive at our hotel in Langkawi until almost 8 PM. Not what we thought we paid for. Oh well - my advice - break up the trip with at least one night on Koh Lipe. It’s a nice little island. Then continue on to Langkawi in a day or two. Perhaps you’ll actually get the speedboat!
Speed boat ride was a little bumpy, but good fun & a quick way to get from Ko Lanta to Koh Lipe. Bit of a delay waiting to board the ferry in Lipe, but all ok & good overall journey
