Real experiences from real travelers
Booked the Seatran Discovery through this site. The minivan was on time at my hotel in Chaweng and the ferry was clean and fast. Highly recommend!
The ferry was about 15 minutes late but the ride was smooth. Great views from the top deck. Buying tickets online saved us a lot of hassle at the pier.
Used the speedboat transfer for the party. Everything was well-organized, neon paint included, and the return trip at 4 AM was easy to find.
Comfortable seats and cold AC. The 45-minute journey went by very quickly. Good value for the price.
Took the minivan/ferry combo from Samui Airport. The staff met us right at the arrival hall. It couldn't have been easier.
The 30-minute crossing is so beautiful. Make sure to stay on the deck for the best photos of the islands.
Good communication throughout. The voucher worked perfectly at the Seatran office. Will book again when I return to Thailand.
Cheaper than buying at some local agencies and much more secure knowing I have a guaranteed seat.
