The tour guys was amazing, the only thing that let us down a little was not having much time at the monkey beach. We didn’t get off the boat but other than that an amazing day!

Perfect! The driver was a little and I called the number and they told me he was going to come in 10min and he came in 5, so they were very helpful! We stopped at a little shop and got Bao they were delicious, and stopped at a gas station with a 711. Got to the pier just on time for the boat, didn’t have to wait! Once at the pier in Samui we got a little confused on where to go but nice man (an other taxi driver) told us to wait and he would call Phantip, and 5/10 min later a driver came and dropped us off at our hotel! So all and all a very experience!

These trips go really well as long as you just let go and go with the flow. There are abound to be moments of wtf now? And the more I believe they know what they are doing the more it seems that they do. My best advice is to trust that they will get you there ;-)

We had a really nice and comfortable journey. There were lots of people at the bus station and we managed to get on the first mini bus which left half an hour earlier than was meant to. We had a 10 minute stop and got to the port 10 minutes before the ferry was meant to depart. We just got on it, however the other 50+ people on mini buses after us weren’t so lucky so I don’t know when the next ferry was but assume they were waiting a while. However we got off the ferry an hour earlier than the given time so maybe we were just early and lucky! Overall a pleasant and easy journey especially at such a cheap rate. We would both highly recommend.

We booked the tour with Ramon from Ao Nam Mao Pier instead of going from Krabi town as they offered an earlier trip with a van. Unfortunately the van only took us to Krabi where we had to wait again and switch to an big uncomfortable bus. At the end our journey was langer than described an we arrived more than 1 hour late in Koh Samui.
