This place is really wonderful. A very interesting cultural experience, which I had the chance to live with my friends. Anyone coming to Thailand should try it at least once: it is a really welcoming and open country.
Dear travelers, Thank you for sharing your experience on Full Moon Party! We're particularly happy to hear you had a pleasant time on this festival. Feedback like yours helps us to promote the trust information to other travelers. We hope to welcome you back for another experience on your next visit to Koh Samui! Best regards, Jiggy
Excellent service, this was convenient and everything was well organized for us, it was nice to enjoy the party with no worries on how to get back. Driver was on time and communicated via WhatsApp by the tour operator team about the pick up details before staring the journey, the boat was comfy & efficient and staff helped you with tickets as soon as you entered the ferry port. Worth doing for the experience.
Please please please . . . Read all the reviews. This was a HORRIBLE experience. We were picked up 30 minutes after our schedule, however that was not the worst of it. When trying to catch the speedboat back from the party to Koh Samui, we encountered the most unorganized & unprofessional service. We waited 2 1/2 hours to get on a boat and came across people who had waited over 3 hours. The workers were not helpful at all. One person would tell us to wait on a certain line, but when the boat would dock at the pier, another worker would shepherd a large group right past you, filling up the boat and leaving you trying to figure out what line to stand in next. Numerous fights nearly broke out, some workers "joked" that we were going to have to "swim" back. Do yourself a favor, if you are going to the Full Moon Party, just spend the extra money and get a place on the island, do not try to use this service.
Dear Benny, Thank you for your review and please accept our apologize for any disappointed experience caused on you! We truly understand for the waiting time for the transportation of full moon party that may take longer than your expectation that why we informed all the customers with this regard before the traveling date. Please allow us to make the clarification information, as of the departure time can not specify and must be under queue management. We give a small card in different color at the pier for the customers to get avoid from skipping the line, so if you see others go before you that maybe they come to wait before your time. Also, please make sure that you go to wait at the right boat company because there are others at the same pier area. From our side, we will make a better coordination with the team to support the better service to our further customers. Best regards, Jiggy
The start of the experience was good, but the return was absolutely atrocious. So disorganized! Boats come back every hour but who’s who. There are so many transport boats going back and forth and they are all different companies. Theres nothing clearly marked at the dock for the service you use. You get on a boat, they kick you off due to you using the wrong boat. Waited 2 hours and had to pay a guy just to let us on their boat and to top it off, we had to get our own taxi. Don’t use Viator for this event!
Dear Sammy, Thank you for your review and apologies for the disappointed experience causing on you! Full Moon Party, we send the messages to our customers to let them know that on the way back can be a long line waiting due to it is the open ticket that everyone can come back as the same time. For the boat companies, we give the hanging ticket once checking in at the pier and it's mentioned the boat company on it, so on the way back you just show up and check the name of boat company before getting into the boat. We are pretty sure that we give all the clear information before starting the trip and select the trust company that take care of the customers, however please understand the situation of the party that it is difficult to control all many people drinking. Best regards, Jiggy
Great pick up but utter farce getting back organised chaos at boat quing and no idea what bpat staff clueless 2hr waitvat 1am then taxi on way back again utter shambles didn't know where hotel was ..Arghhhhhhhh
Dear Anthony, Thank you for your booking and sorry for any inconvenience caused on your experience! Full Moon Party is extremely busy night and on the way back is the open ticket to be convenient to the customers and can not specify an exact departure time as queue management at the pier is required. Best regards, Jiggy
I had the worst New Year’s Eve experience. My pick-up was scheduled between 8:00 and 8:30 pm to ensure I arrived on Koh Phangan in time to celebrate. However, I waited 2.5 hours with minimal communication from the organiser, making me wonder if it was a scam. They blamed traffic, but passengers said they started late. At the pier, there was chaos, no organisation, and more waiting. I finally reached Koh Phangan at 11:40 pm, barely meeting my friends and ruining my night. The return trip was equally awful, waiting hours for the boat. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Dear Marta, Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience which may caused of your countdown night. We really don't want this thing happens to our customers at all! With the terrible traffic at that night causing every pick up times were running late since the beginning. It does not matter that you are the first or the last stop as it was late since the first round. We have no excuse at all for this regard, just hope the customers would understand from what the situation was at that night, especially your hotel is located in downtown with one way road, so drivers could not make the faster time at all. From the late picked up related to the boat was late because the customers arrived to the pier as the same times. With the communication with us, sorry once again, we want to answer all of our customers, but we are all busy lines and can not make it in time, but we absolutely went to pick up all customers from their bookings. For the returning, an hour waiting is the standard for this party, and we also send you the information before that if it is busy time then you have to stay in the line with no guarantee for the time. Above just the explanation of the real situation happened, but from our side we have no excuse from making disappointed on our customers because we totally understand how they feel on their special night. We have to find the better solutions to not make it again for the future, but if you see from some reviews on countdown night you can see that we have tried our best and if customers who traveled at the time that did not rush then they satisfied from our service. Best regards, Jiggy
HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND. BLACKLIST booked a speedboat ticket for year end full moon party. The shuttle was supposed to pick up at 9pm but at the end we waited for at least 1.5 hours till 10:30pm and we ended up not being able to join the full moon party countdown. 1) unclear information - my hotel was at the busiest Main Street that there are thousands of shuttle buses coming and going. No one messaged us about the car plate number in advance. I couldn’t tell whether we missed the bus by any chance. And I had to check every bus passing by. 2) late for 1.5 hrs (or it can be classified as no-show to be honest) and unresponsive follow up - throughout the one hour from 9.30pm-10pm (passed the scheduled 9-930pm pick up time), I had to contact the operator by myself to ask where the bus was. I had to make 3 to 4 back and forth calls in order to get the car information and get the location of the bus. And they didn’t call me back even when they told me they will check with the car driver and get back. So I had to follow up by myself very proactively, just in order to get the car number at least. 3) unacceptably late with without any reason - that night was a busy night because everyone was going to a party, so I thought the bus was late because of traffic or they spent too much time in the previous stops to pick up other guest. But I was told that I am the first guest to pick up. So it didn’t make sense that they were late for 1.5 hours and they didn’t pick up anyone yet. I asked that there will be three more hotels to go after 10.30pm, let alone going to the pier and waiting for the boat to be full to set out. It will miss the countdown for sure. Only one good thing - the tour operator was willing to have a full refund. But our countdown party was already ruined and 1.5 hrs was wasted.

The booking procedure is simple and local cruise team is good and efficient! I have great experience with this event.
Waiting at the hostel for over an hour and a half with no way to contact them as they were supposed to pick up at 9pm but no show
Dear Sharon, Sincere apologize for the late picked up due to the really bad traffic, even though we still went to pick you up on that night did not leave you at all. Once we arrived to the hotel, we could not find you then send you the message and asked the receptionist at the hotel checked you in the room, but could not find you. With the countdown party is the most crazy busy of the year, however we have tried our best to do it from the overload of the people who want to join the party, Sorry once again for you unexpected experienced from our service, we will keep improving it for the next party. Best regards, Jiggy
Tough trip. To be fair it was NYE so everywhere was pretty chaotic but our pick up time was 8-8:30pm and we didn’t get to the full moon party until 10:45pm. The way back was the same. We got lucky as the last people on a 4am boat back while there was a dock full of people waiting. We waited around for a long time for our transfer home and eventually just decided to book a grab home and got home at 6:30am. Super disorganized. The party was fun tho, definitely stay on Koh Phangan if you plan on going.
Dear Jessica, Sincerely apologize for the disappointed experience causing on you! The countdown party is the busiest part of the year and it is really difficult to control with the traffic on that night that caused everything happened different from the plane. From us, we don't really want this kind of thing happens to our customers, but it is uncontrollable from many outside factors. We will try to make better organize for the time arrangement. Best regards, Jiggy
