The Ferry took way longer than the Plan said. We arrived 50 mins later, so leer that in mind for pick ups etc. Overall We had a good experience.

Very easy to get Seasick, boat moves much more than a regular ferry. Organization was not the best, all small luggage is places inside the ferry in the middle and the big luggage outside at the rear of the boat. Smell of fuel in the cabin.

We booked tickets in advance, but arrived about 3 hours early on donsak pier. The staff from Raja made no problem and changed our boarding time from 4 to 1pm. The boat and interior are old but it works. Thank you for the 3 hours extra on Samui!

I have a hybrid car and was not informed when booking that I couldn't use the ferry, so you should publish this more clearly in future online bookings!
