Seat in the bus was broken.. Bus was old but we got to our destination relatively cheaply and on time.. The ferry seemed overloaded and disorganized.. not nearly enough seats for everyone.

We were unsure if our hotel was in the catchment area, but a quick message via WhatsApp confirmed that it was. Pick-up was on time and efficient. The minibus was comfortable and air conditioned. Our driver let us stop on the way for a quick toilet break when needed. The high speed catamaran was very hot when stationary, so best to have some water with you for drinking. When in transit there was a nice breeze to cool us down. Overall the trip was seamless and without complication!

The drive was good and the boot also. Not enough seats at the boot and we arrived 45 minutes late in Koh Tao. The rest was perfect, would do it again.
