Koh Phi Phi to Koh Samui Destination Reviews

Wrong Port, it stated that we would arrive in Lipa Noi Beach but we arrived at Nathon Peer more than 20 Minutes away.

First we took the ferry; that was ok. We arrived at the pier and we didn't even have time to go to the bathroom because the transfer van was in a rush, so no stop for a 2 and a half hours trip. The van was terrible, packed with people and luggage everywhere, not a safe way to travel, and super uncomfortable. We ended up arriving more than 1 hour later than expected.

No one was waiting for us in Krabi, we had to wait 30 minutes without information. Arrival scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in Koh Samui but we arrived 1 hour late.

Both boat crossings were fine, but the first taxi was late. We were informed of this, though. Then we had to wait another half hour for three other people. We unexpectedly had to pay extra for the taxi on Koh Samui.

They put us on the wrong coach and we had to re purchase tickets at the port, that we had already payed for. The transfers were unorganised in that sense

Seemed a little unorganised between transfer points but we got to our destination in the end

The journey was good. However, 3 days beforehand, 12go randomly cancelled our initial booking and sent us a refund (presumably because not enough people had booked in total), forcing us to rebook a different option short notice.
