I reached out to Easy Travel and they said we will miss the bus cause everything is booked so closely together. They said we should take a cab for a 2 hour drive! I asked other travelers that booked with other companies and they said their company assured them that the boat and the bus will wait. We decided to risk it and follow the other travelers which I’m glad we did or we would have missed out on the beautiful boat ride.”
