Satun Province

Joined the Basic Mangrove Tour (shared boat, no meals, meet at Tanjung Rhu pier) and overall it was a good experience. The mangrove scenery is beautiful and relaxing, with limestone cliffs, calm waters, and some wildlife like eagles and monkeys. The guide shared useful information about the mangrove ecosystem. Just note that if you choose the no-meal package, the boat will stop at the floating sea restaurant and you’ll need to wait there for about 40 minutes while others have their meal before heading back to the jetty. Not a big issue, but good to know in advance. Meeting point was easy to find and the tour started on time. Good value for money and suitable for first-time visitors who want a simple mangrove tour.

I've been on a lot of Southeast Asia island hopping tours, but this is the first time I've seen one that goes to so many spots and offers such a fulfilling snorkeling experience. Don't expect a luxurious island hopping tour. It's a very raw, bare-bones island hopping experience. It's the same with a wooden boat (with a motor) and because the boat is small to begin with, it only goes with a small number of people. The sea really did everything. The sea was so pretty and there were so many fish, I was happy. The heartbreaking thing is that Koh Lipe is now so crowded that all the coral is dead ㅠㅠ This can't be helped... The sea itself is very clear. They give you a packed lunch for lunch, and the lunch wasn't bad either. There's a place like a snack bar where you eat, and if you buy a cup ramen and eat it together, it disappears in an instant. On the way back, they cut up watermelon, which was so sweet and delicious!! It takes a long time to get to the first spot. The first spot is the furthest away, and then we stopped in between on the way back. So it's quick from the last spot to the drop-off area! It was so much fun! Highly recommended!!

For travellers who prioritize exclusivity, freedom, and a relaxed pace, a private longtail boat tour is a highly recommended splurge in Koh Lipe. Our captain patiently waited as we spent extra time snorkeling at the best spots and relaxing on the beach. This level of control over the schedule is the biggest selling point.

Nice boat, enough to fit us 10 pax, and the tour guide brought to all scenery were nice, especially snorkeling with beautiful corals and lots of fishes seen able.

the tour was great and thrilling and our guide Tusar was fun and polite. He showed us a few tricks that made our rides even for fun. next time we would surely rebook the same. the Jet skis were also in great condition.

The arrangement was good. The journey took about 4.5 hours in total from the bus station to the pier (2h), and then from the pier to lipe (1.5) including the time waiting for boat boarding time. We departed around 10:00 AM and reached lipe around 3PM. Overall, the trip was good. We asked how long it would take from a certain point to another, and the driver briefly explained it to us. The condition of the boat and the van was also condusive. There was no waiting time, and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much.

I came to Koh Lipe from Langkawi on a one-day trip. After disembarking, I waited in a chair until immigration. They call out individual names to return passports. I don't know the waiting time. You just keep waiting until your name is called. Luckily, I was called first, perhaps because I came on a one-day trip. They asked if I had registered for entry into Thailand and told me to come back one hour before the return departure. After the immigration procedure, I paid the 200 THB entry tax, and then I was free to go. For the return procedure, I handed over my passport and the A4 paper issued in Langkawi. After that, I was given my ticket and passport, so I went through the immigration procedure and handed over my passport. Departure was at 16:00 Thai time, and 30 minutes before departure, I boarded a tail boat to move to the ship. Passports were returned on board. Instead of calling out names, they read out the country names and I had to find my passport from the bundle of passports grouped by country. At that time, I had to open other people's passports to make sure it was mine, which felt unpleasant. I was also worried that my passport would be taken, so I was scared. The return trip to Langkawi also took 1.5 hours. As a point of caution, since you are re-entering Malaysia, you must register for Malaysian entry again. Register the date of entry as the day you arrive at the terminal by boat. It is a good idea to register while staying on Koh Lipe or on the return boat. Thailand is one hour behind Malaysia in time difference. Be careful not to mistake the meeting time. The arrival time is 19:00 Malaysian time. After disembarking, there were families everywhere waiting for taxis. Since the location where you call a taxi from isn't somewhere they arrive at quickly, it's best to expect a wait.

Second time visiting Koh Lipe, and this time I didn't book through the hotel. Instead, I booked the Hi Lipe transportation service (van and boat) on Klook. They picked us up from our hotel in Hat Yai at 8:00 AM and took us directly to the pier (unlike last time when we had to go to their office, which wasted time). After communicating with the staff, Klook customers can directly enter the VIP lounge to enjoy a complimentary drink, air conditioning, and charging stations! Thumbs up! Five stars for the service小姐 (service lady). Price: Reasonable Seat reservation process: Smooth Transportation services included: All-inclusive�

Upon arriving at Pak Bara Pier, the driver was already waiting, so I was able to board immediately and head to the airport. The driving was very safe and well-done. It was nice to be able to purchase various necessities at the rest stop we visited before arriving at the airport.
