He will then drive you and your family safely by minivan to a private pier. Then you transfer onto a speedboat which takes you past Lanta Noi to Saladan in Koh Lanta. The speedboat travel eliminates the waiting time at the car ferry crossings which could normally add a lengthy time on to your minivan journey. When you arrive on Koh Lanta a car will be waiting for you to take you and your family to your hotel.
The minivans which pick you up can also be fitted with child’s seats upon request. When in the speedboat life jackets can be provided with smaller life jackets for children, however if the child is an infant or under 2 years old bringing your own floating aid is recommended.
