Our driver wasn’t coming (or to late) and we arrived almost 2 hours later than expected.
The support was hard to get at phone and didn’t called us back.

Wonderful,
We were picked up on time from the hotel, had a pee break in between, and were at the pier on time!

Sat in reception from 8.30, checked out of room as per the booking. Received a call to say pick up was now 9.40
Got to the ferry terminal at 2pm & gate closed so had to wait another hour for a crossing, because of picking up people from other ferry crossings
The journey was long enough, without wasting an additional 2 hours of the day.
All drivers were polite & no problem

I didn’t realise that this was primarily a 3-4 hour bus journey followed by a 1.5 hour ferry. This is entirely my fault! It was incredibly easy, very well managed. Would 100% recommend! Our only issue was the taxi mafia on the other side at Koh Samui (nothing to do with this tour operator but something to be wary of if you choose to catch this ferry!) . We were told 150baht each to lamai beach in one of their tuk-Tuks only for the driver to demand an extra 200 and tell us the 150 was only for the other passengers who had waited longer! Not what his boss had said so be warned about this.

picked us up at 9 and took us to krabi pier to then say we are setting off at 11 instead because there was not enough people. set off around 11:15 for the 9am set off. bus ride after was fine (krabi to surat thani port around 2.5 hours) and got straight onto ferry (to koh samui about 2 hours)

Good service! The chairs in the big bus are not made for tall people. Overall a good experience.
