Travel tips for this route

  1. Send your flight number and landing time, and allow for immigration and baggage claim, especially on international flights.
  2. If you already have ferry tickets, send the company and sailing time when booking so the Phuket pickup is planned to reach Don Sak in time.
  3. Whether the van crosses to Koh Samui, and the ferry charge, are confirmed by the team when booking, so avoid a tight schedule for hotel check-in or plans on the island.
  4. In rough weather ferries can be delayed or some sailings cancelled; the Gulf coast is wettest from about October to December, so check the forecast before travelling.
  5. Tell us about large suitcases, dive gear or child seats when booking so we can recommend the Commuter or the Alphard.
  6. The return from Koh Samui to Phuket Airport takes about 7–9 hours in total, so choose an evening or next-day flight and allow the check-in time your airline requires.
