What travellers say: Smart En Plus vs Libong Island

Both operators share an identical 4.5/5 average rating, yet the volume and depth of traveller feedback differ sharply, with all insights drawn strictly from the supplied review briefs.

Smart En Plus

Smart En Plus earns strong praise across 624 reviews for proactive WhatsApp communication, punctual pickups, well-organised multi-leg van-and-boat transfers, friendly staff, and comfortable vans, though recurring complaints highlight unannounced island stops on speedboats, occasional delays, hard-to-locate check-in points, and discomfort on some older or crowded boats.

Libong Island

Libong Island shows a perfect 100% positive rating across its two reviews, but the complete absence of any review text means no specific traveller comments on communication, comfort, punctuality or service details are available.

Smart En Plus offers a far richer picture of traveller sentiment backed by hundreds of reviews, while Libong Island’s score rests on minimal data; book either operator at ThailandBoatTickets.com where our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) stands ready on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Telegram and Facebook to help plan your journey.
