What travellers say: Phi Phi Cruiser vs Good Luck Lanta Tour

Reviewers give Phi Phi Cruiser a stronger overall rating (4.51/5 from 701 reviews) than Good Luck Lanta Tour (4.05/5 from 436 reviews), with clearer strengths in comfort but shared issues around timing.

Phi Phi Cruiser

Travellers consistently praise Phi Phi Cruiser's spacious and stable boats, friendly staff, easy check-in, and amenities like free water and watermelon, while noting reliable hotel pickups when they run on time. The main complaints centre on frequent 20-60 minute delays, late or missed van transfers, and a hectic unannounced boat change at Ko Phi Phi where the connecting vessel is often smaller, hotter, and less comfortable.

Good Luck Lanta Tour

Reviewers describe Good Luck Lanta Tour as a budget-friendly option that reliably gets passengers to their destination with helpful drivers, but they frequently cite overcrowding, tight luggage space, multiple unexplained parcel-delivery stops, and journeys that run 1-2 hours longer than scheduled. Comfort issues like poor air conditioning and occasional wrong drop-off points are also common themes.

Phi Phi Cruiser earns higher marks for comfort and service quality while Good Luck Lanta Tour suits travellers prioritising lower cost and flexibility.
