I was originally worried about travelling by coach and ferry as all flights had filled I had no choice but I must say it was absolutely seamless. The coach ride was shorter than expected the driver allowed us to stop for a break, we arrived at the ferry in good time and ferry ride was comfortable. I would recommend anyone to use this service rather than flying

It'll get you there, but it's not well put together. We got picked up at the hotel and it was 45min in a van to the Lomprayah bus depot. Once out of the shuttle you check in with your bags and put color coded stickers on you/your luggage for what island you're going to. No one tells you what bus to get on, but we managed to find ours. Your bags are thrown on the double decker bus and then it's a 2hr ride to the Lomprayah Pier. There's a tiny closet of a toilet on the bus if you need it. The aircon was OK, no place to charge your phone. Bring headphones because everyone listens to their phones on full blast. At the Pier, it was an absolute sh*tshow. The weather wasn't great so the boat came back late which caused us to be late. Hundreds of people were milling around the waiting area. There's a small snack mart and a little Cafe, but with basic offerings like chips, nuts, cookies, some drinks, and instant noodles. There's a sign that says one 20kg bag per person, but no one checked if you had more. We tried to pay for ours but just got yelled at in Thai. No one really speaks English which is fine because of Google translate, but it was very chaotic. Passengers spoke different languages but broken English was common amongst most and it would've helped if the staff spoke English and made an announcement as to why we were late. They were trying to say the sea was very rough. We wee supposed to Depart at 230 but we're delayed til 3. We didn't get on til 4. When it was time to get on, there were no lines, just a mad rush of 200+ people trying to get on. People got on the boat and sat down with bags on seats and then it was the Hunger Games trying to find a seat. If you get motion sick AT ALL, or even think you might, sit towards the back near a window. You feel the motion less towards the back. DO NOT SIT IN THE MIDDLE. Also, don't eat before the trip. You will throw it back up. The crew handed out small black plastic garbage bags before we even left the pier. We left the Pier at 415 (1h15 late). About 30min into the ride, everyone was throwing up. You can stand outside at the back of the boat if you want, but all of the smokers go outside and smoke so keep that in mind. It may be better than being enclosed with people hurling their guts out. We finally arrived in Koh Samui at 615. The staff got everyone's bags off before letting people off, but it was probably better that way. All in all, you got from A to B but it was a mess from start to finish. Bring water and snacks, prepare for seasickness, sit towards the back, and hold on.

Please note whilst the transfer is fine, the price Viator is showing is double the local price per the poster I have attached. Would be better to pay locally. Also has to pay extra 535 THB for transfer from our Krabi hotel before 4pm or risk them cancelling our trip. Responsiveness very slow regarding confirmation of pick up. Boat is fine, all worked out in the end.

We strive to provide clear and transparent information, and we regret that this was not your experience.

An easy and affordable way to travel from Koh Samuai to Krabbi. It's a between 2 and 3 hour ferry. But it's a pleasant journey.

Very convenient! Reached perfectly in time! Described just as it is. We were picked up at our given location and went to a meeting point from where we travelled by the bus for about 2 hours and then the ferry

Just don’t do it. We were late booking to fly to koi samui because we were debating whether to fly or not and the flight became booked. We made this mistake so you do not have to. THERE IS NO TOILET ON BOARD. The staff are lovely but you are squished into a tiny smelly van like sardines for three hours. The suspension is awful. After 2 hours there is a services where you can use the toilet (not nice). You are then dropped at the ferry port. The ferry is chill. It’s two hours. It’s all a bit hectic. If you’re thinking of going from krabi to koi samui - fly!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your journey from Krabi to Koh Samui was not as comfortable as you had hoped.

We appreciate your kind words about our staff, but we regret that the van conditions and the lack of facilities did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will look into ways to improve our services, including better transportation options and clearer communication about what to expect during the journey. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more pleasant experience in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel
