Trip began prosperously by boat, then unclear where to transfer to bus. Stalled here for a long time and much hassle with people switching between vans. Had to transfer again in Krabi and then received little to no info.
Legroom was very minimal in the vans. 45 minutes delay on the whole day, not too bad but felt unnecessary due to the many stops the second van made.

Reis begon voorspoedig met de boot, daarna onduidelijk waar over te stappen op de bus. Hier lang stil gestaan en veel gedoe met mensen wisselen tussen busjes. In Krabi weer over moeten stappen en toen weinig tot geen info gekregen.
Beenruimte was in de busjes erg minimaal. 45 minuten vertraging op de hele dag, viel mee maar voelde onnodig door de vele stops die t tweede busje maakte.
Very pleasant boarding in Langkawi. The upstairs office could pose difficulties for those solo travellers with large luggage.
It would be great if the 12Go booking offered the VIP- we would have splurged (although maybe it was sold out- we booked pretty last minute)
We are confused as to why our passports were collected and kept for the voyage- only to line up to retrieve it in Koh Lipe, and then get in the immigration line. Seems like a step could be saved if passengers were allowed to be responsible for their own documents, as they would on a plane or bus.
Ferry was almost on time. That was nice since I’ve learned during my trip that ferrys, busses etc in south east asia are rarely on time. It was super cold inside the ferry! It felt like ac was blowing cold air straight from north pole… Also arrival to ko lipe wasn’t that well organised.
Overall it was a good transfer. After arrival, the day trippers were the last to have their passports returned. As a result they lost about 45 minutes of their five hour stay.

well organised and on time
Just the seats are a bit small for my big bum
Cafe not open when all the customers are waiting for the boat. Queue to give ticket to one girl, then get it back from another, then show again to a third girl, etc etc. But, overall, we got there in the end

Well organised and nice ferry. We arrived 1.5h before departure to get the immigration paper work done which takes a bit of time. Ferry ride was comfortable and went quick!

It was the only provider that has offered one-way. The advertised speedboat time of 1 hr was then but the usual 1.5 hrs. Otherwise, enough legroom and air conditioning at a comfortable temperature...

Es war der einzige Anbieter der one-way angeboten hat. Die beworbene Speedboot Zeit von 1 Std war dann doch die üblichen 1,5 Std. Ansonsten genügend Beinfreiheit und Klimaanlage auf angenehmer Temperatur...
