Eduardo The bus to krabi was awful . No space for the luggage, separate seats. It’s no a good service for a long travel .

Lenka I was truly impressed by how smooth and seemless was the transit between the van, bus and boat at every part of the journey. All vehicles were very comfortable and spacious. Great experience

Richard PWe arrived on time but no facilities were open and had to wait. Poor directions where to wait or updates on arrival times. Our ferry arrived late and departed late with no update as to why.
The bus journey was fine bit we had an unexpected wait for 1.5 hours at Krabi with limited services for eating.
The ferry to Phi Phi was efficient and quick.

Andrew GBooked a combined ferry/bus/ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Phi Phi. Used Phantip Travel. Excellent from start to finish. Comfy ferry to the mainland (on time 8am) then straight onto the air-conditioned coach. Managed to sleep on the reclining seat until drop off at the Krabi ferry terminal. Short (30 min) wait, followed by a short walk to the pier for the final 2-hour leg. Fewer facilities on this ferry, but no problem. Spent half the journey sunbathing out front. Arrived at Ton Sai around 3pm. Would highly recommend this method of getting from one island to the other.

Matan MThey waited for me at all the crossings and everything went smoothly.
They even delayed the ferry a bit so I could get there.

Pieter BLong but easy trip from Samui to Phi Phi
Make sure you don’t have luggage if more than 20inches as you pay extra as these have to be placed on the seats in the bus due to the luggage being too big for storage in the luggage compartment of the bus
Ferry trip is almost 2 hours but most enjoyable.

Sara RWe got from A to B.
The second Van was full of people and luggage, so it wasnt a very comfortable 3 hour ride. We also arrived almost an hour later than the ticket said. But the rest was fine.
