Everything went smoothly, we were sat on a van instead of the bus since the bus was full, but we weren't complaining, was very comfortable. Though since we took the van, I can't say anything about the comfort of the bus. Overall everything was good and service too.
The bus was on time, and we only waited 20 minutes to board the Ferry. They do weigh your bags before you board the bus, so be prepared to pay 200 Bhat if your bag weighs more than 20kgs. Bus was very clean with black leather seats, pretty comfy. Ferry was great, crew was all helpful and friendly. Would recommend using them!
Super easy transfer to Surat Thani, the port was well organised and we didn’t have to wait long for the catamaran. Boat was great - the views were lovely and actually was an experience in and of itself.
It was not a taxi+ bus+ ferry. It was a mini van+ mini van+ ferry. There are no confortable for 5 hours the mini van.

I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the journey was. The bus started on time we had a stop for lunch before arriving at the pier. The boat ride was longer and choppy (they provided plastic bags..), we arrived about 1 hour later than the scheduled 5 pm but all in comfort. We stayed in the same boat all the time while passengers were dropped off at Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.
Bus trip was ok, old buses but pretty nice. But the boat trip was one of the most unorganized things i ever seen. When one of the buses was late they didnt started to load everyone else. instead they waited until it was close, so instead of 15 min late from the pier we where 45 min late. Then the unloading at each stop took 30 min. And when they mixed up one bag at one stop, no new could get on until they found that bag, so there we lost another 10 min. In the end i think we where close to 90 min late all because of unorganized boat trip.
