Great transfer! We were picked up from our hotel exactly on time and expected to be taken to a bus to travel the 2.5 hours to the pier, however due to low season the diver took us all the way in his car. Very comfortable and personable journey. Great communication from the driver who explained everything about the journey and what to do at the ferry port. He also stopped off for a toilet/coffee break half way. The ferry was well organised by the company and was efficient and comfortable, my partner gets quite sea sick but this was a large ferry and very smooth. Would definitely recommend!

This is a ripoff. This is not a shuttle and a ferry. This is : shuttle wait about 40 mins at bus stop and change - public bus - wait about 40 mins at the station and change - public bus - tuk-tuk - wait about 40 mins - speed boat. I wish I knew that. We arrived way later than the advertised time: around 4PM instead of 1:30. Which makes it a 9 hour + journey. Walk from your hostel to the bus station, take the public bus yourself, change buses and take a tuk-tuk and then a ferry. You will save yourself about 50$. The only reason I booked this is because I believed it would be a van that would bring us directly to the ferry. And it was advertised as the fastest option. Boy was I disappointed. Operator, please don’t blatantly lie.

I think it would be helpful if we had more transparency about the journey. Eg change of bus, waiting time between bus, time of ferry etc

The driver from Khao Sok to Surat Thani was constantly on his phone. I didn't always feel safe. In addition the car was too hot, the AC didn't work properly.

No one explained that we will be passed around in 5 different cars, and the ferry was stinky and poor.
