Booking online very clear Everything communicated very clearly via mail and 1 day in advance clear agreements via mail and WhatsApp Drop off at your hotel to transfer Easy check-in there (tickets have already been sent to you via email) Transfer boat ok In Koh Phanang you will be sent to your transport to transfer you to your hotel (price included in ticket)
Ferry and check in well organized, communication with transfer companies poor, despite multiple requests we were called a wrong pick-up time.
It was very restless on the water, a lot of wind. As a result, many people became seasick. Bags were then neatly distributed. You didn't have to wait long for the suitcases either
Great service everything was on time so well organised driver very happy and helpful I would recommend this service
Dear karen_b We're happy to hear our driver provided great service! Thanks for the kind words and the recommendation.
Generally well organized, even the boarding. Crew helps with large suitcases. Seats are comfortable and the ferry was on time. It was better than I expected based on some of the reviews I read. I would definitely recommend.
Dear Frank S Thanks for your comments and nice words about our service. To be honest, it is quite hard to get a 4 or 5 star review. It probably lies in the nature of this kind of product with many variables.
Ferry was a good size and comfortable, we were actually earlier than expected so cannot complain at all
Dear jackrgreen Thanks for your message and we are happy that you enjoyed the ferry ride.
Very chaotic experience and so Delayed that we missed all flight connections. Leave 4+ hours of connection time if you are flying out of koh samui
Dear sandyh662 Thanks for your review. What I understand is that yoru ferry transfer was from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan, Or are you referring to another transfer? The airport is located on Samui. I highly recommend to calculate enough time if you have a departure flight, at least 3 hours, esepcially during monsoon season where the sea conditions are not so good and the feryr may be delayed.
Excellent pick up from hotel Good fast boat and very good price Lovely views from the boat On time and got there safe lots of seats for Eveyone
Dear Abbie_W Thanks for the great review and choosing our transfer service by ferry.
Travelled koh samui to koh phangan over christmas. The ferry terminal is chaos! Manually shouting for passengers of particular crossing whilst everyone is massing by the entry gate. For our crossing they called only for Koh Tao passengers they said to get their bags on first. When they called koh phangan they said first 90 passengers only as they didnt have room and the others would get 'next' ferry with no idea when it would be. We were lucky and got on! Listen very carefully for their manual announcements particularly the one about holding your own ticket or you wouldnt get on either!
I used online booking for booking the ferry directly on the FerrySamui website. The ferry time was 04:30 PM. I realized that we will have plenty of time to pass after landing at Samui Airport and there possibilities of catching the 01:00 PM ferry. I sent an email to FerrySamui and they confirmed that if I am able to make it to the ferry terminal by the 01:00 PM ferry time, they will accommodate us in 01:00 PM ferry without any rescheduling charges. That was a pleasing surprise to us. The ferry is quite good with 2 decks of seating with an outdoor seating and smoking area. The ferry was almost on time with slight delay. The luggage handling was satisfactory. There are some snacks available on board on payment basis. Overall a satisfactory experience.
