Koh Tao to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

No service from the operator. Very steep walk to the boat. Boat looked old and rusty.

After a chaotic start and check in on koh Tao, the ferry was fast and right in time. Unfortunately it is very loud in the cabin and many people had to vomit. The seats where comfortable and nice personal in board. Our trip from Koh Samui to Koh Tao was compared to the return way late, due to the stop at koh Pangan and also do to 30 min waiting in the sea with high waves to enter the Harbour. This was not really acceptable if you book a direct fast ferry. At the end we arrived safely ‚

The boat left half an hour late, but beside that the journey was fine. Although the boat can be a bit jumpy so I might have some bruises.
