Koh Tao to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

FN
We booked a round trip Koh Samui-Koh tao. The first ferry, we had to go upstairs because the air conditioning wasn’t working and it was really really hot inside. On the way back, the AC was working fine and you could stay inside with feeling suffocated. Upstairs there is almost no shade. The ferries left and arrive on time. Check in was easy to follow. I would say the most uncomfortable thing is that travelling with your back, they organise it depending on the amount of passangers and sometimes they are under a huge pile of backpacks and you have to find it on your own (and people put their feet on you back because they don’t have enough place..)

Ferry was really comfortable but the staff at Koh Tao were so rude and unhelpful, they didn’t talk to us, were on their phones and clearly didn’t want to be there

We were caught off guard by riding through a monsoon storm. Travelers: Be prepared if you choose a fast ferry, choose your times wisely or go slow - we would have chosen differently in particular as we weren’t in a rush. They delivered, but the ride was one of the worst experiences were have had so far.
