The van dropped me off 15 minutes walking distance from the ferry pier with no directions

Everything was perfect! Staff were helpful. Smooth journey - no problems at all. The only thing was the mini bus drive was quite fast and bumpy.

I was nervous about this trip seeing the reviews, but honestly no complaints. You wait an hour between the bus and ferry at the port.

Too hot on the boat. No good place for baggage. Very unconfortable seats

The crossing from Surat Thani to Ko Tao was excellent. The boat was extremely full by the time we embarked but we were allowed into the air conditioned, leather seat area for the duration of the voyage. It was very comfortable and we as a family were able to relax.

due to bad weather the experience was very wet. Also embarking was very risky. This could and should be improved!
