The vans, the bus, and boat were comfortable which made the trip enjoyable as the scenery past by. The transfer option once I reached the island was seamless and delivered me exactly where I needed to be. The big bus and the boat both had restroom facilities. My time on the island was too limited per my planning and I suggest a longer stay. Personal we’re all very friendly and helpful.

Very efficient company
Andrew_J, Apr 2024
I booked a couple of months in advance so I was a little nervous about the arrangements made but the day before travel I received an email confirming travel and hotel pick up. On day of travel we were picked up within 15 minutes of scheduled time.. very nice van ride with other clients to ferry and ferry across to island. Everything went smoothly.
Easy transition from Krabi to Koh Samui
Philip_L, Apr 2024
Very easy process. Picked up right on time at our hotel and transferred to the bus terminal. We rode across the country in a double decker that was air conditioned. Upon arrival at the ferry we quickly boarded and reached Koh Samui at the time provided.
A seamless end to end experience
Shammy_K, Mar 2024
I was tentative about booking this because of the mixed reviews. I'm so glad I decided to ignore them and book. This was end to end hassle free. We were collected from our Ao Nang Hotel around 7.20am (pick up time from 7am so a reasonable amount of wait time). The minivan driver was polite and took us to the bus terminal. Bus check in queue was long but efficient and moved quickly. Bus was a little tired and bumpy but absolutely fine as a journey. The ferry was fast and comfortable I would highly reccomend this as a way to get from Krabi to Koh Samui - excellent value for money.
Pathetic Experience! Definitely avoid.
Sayantan_D, Feb 2024
Extremely rude staffs! Staffs were behaving as if they were doing us a big favour. This type of behaviour might fly in a charitable scenario BUT not when you are being charged heavily for the supposedly good services! Just take a flight and avoid these Lomprayah Jokers!
The bud ride was less...
Hugh_O, Feb 2024
The bud ride was less than perfect as the suspension was not adequate and when it hit a bump in the road it would’ve slam making a loud noise in the bud. The catamaran was on time and fast but the seats need to be replaced.
Broken, Dirty and Late
Angela_S, Jan 2024
The bus used for the three hour trip to the high speed catamaran was late and very dirty. The catamarans engine broke down about 30 minutes into the trip so added another hour to our commute to resort
Good way to get to Koh Samui
Mike_G, Jan 2024
Everything went as they described on their page, they picked us up and took us to the bus. The bus ride was relaxing, and the ferry ride was good but needed some chairs in the sun on the deck.
Recent experience Krabi - Koh Samui
Matthew_G, Jan 2024
Initially when I booked I was sent an email saying the initial pick up time was wrong, and should read 10am instead of 11am. But the pick up was in fact 11am. So I was waiting for an hour for no reason. This should have been better organised. The air con on the coach was poor, a number of hours on the coach where it was too hot. A smooth transition onto from coach to ferry was good.
It may seem confusing at first sight but everything worked well.
Larissa_A, Dec 2023
At first we were skeptical that buying the ticket would work because we had already tried twice on another well-known website and it did not work. Even after receiving email confirmation from Viator, we were still skeptical because our ticket included pick-up at our hotel. I preferred to believe it would work. The trip was scheduled for the next day and the driver would pass at 10:00 AM to pick us up. The agreed time passed, so I called the agency. With a little difficulty understanding the agents' English and being able to explain the facts in a way that they understood, we were able, in the end, to confirm that everything was ok and that the driver was already on his way. He had to collect more people from other hotels before coming to us (this was not clear on the website thought!). We were taken to the Lomprayah office in a van, got registered, received identification stickers, and waited for another group to arrive with another van so the bus could start the journey. The bus trip took a while because I have the impression that the maximum speed is 80km per hour. They offer coffee for you there. On the ferry, many people got sea sickness because the trip is on the open sea. (Tip: close your eyes and take deeper breaths to avoid sea sickness). When we arrived on the ferry, they separated the large suitcases from the backpacks and we didn't know if we would find our suitcase among so much luggage when leaving the ferry. As there are a lot of people, it may seem confusing, but they dropped our bags off and everything worked well.

Fast but cramped
Ed_C, Sep 2023
The bus is a mini van, very very cramped (one bag per person max would have been fine) but otherwise pleasant. The ferry was also good. Arrived early.

Viator, not great to use
Brian_Y, Apr 2023
A total rip off. The driver never picked me up at my hotel. I had to re-book with another company. Would not use Viator again. Bad sub contractors and can’t get ahold of anyone to fix the problem.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
We would like to thank you for choosing to booked with us and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sad to read that your put a lot nagative with us did not meet your expectations and all of us at sincerely apologies .In fact you gave us the wrong hotel location so when the driver came to the hotel for pick up but the reception told us no customer name stay there . We tried to contact and asked you the exactly you stay and finally you stay different location and our service can not pick up because in remote area. In order to continue to improve we will share your feedback to the tour operater.
Worked out but bad communication
Rod_V, Mar 2023
I was unable to contact local operator the day before and even Viator couldn't reach them. I had to assume the original time given was right but at 4am I got an email that pickup time was 1 hour earlier. We had to really scramble to get ready. When driver picked us up he gave us a really hard time about amount of luggage. We only had 2 pieces each. Driver was very grouchy and wondered all over the road. On positive side, all arrangements were in order and we got to Koh Samui as planned.
well organized trip
Liliana_C, Feb 2023
well organized trip - the bus is actually a minivan and this should be made clear in the trip details as to manage people's expectations; our minivan was packed with people and bags, it felt like we were sardines, had no place to move legs as bags and luggages was squeezed inside the van besides people's feet. Another concern, the driver was a lot on the phone, not just taking on the headphones, but checking his phone , looking at pics and stuff. Quite scary experience given that he's responsible for a van packed with people...
Good organisation!...
Gilles_E, Jan 2023
Good organisation! Pick-up was punctual. Nice bus and we were on time to get ferry at 13:00. 100% recommend
Not the best organisation
James_R, Dec 2022
The ferry was cancelled due to weather (not their fault obviously) however even knowing it was cancelled they took us by boat to the pier and left us stranded to have to find new accommodation/taxi fares etc until the boat could go 2 days later! They should have let us stay in Krabi then bring us when the boat could go again!
Great way to transfer
Clive_P, Oct 2022
A great way to transfer, good comms, picked up on time from hotel, the speed boat was fun and arrived on time.
recommend
Nick_C, Feb 2022
well organised & hassle free…. unbeknown to us only certain ferries we’re running but the company sorted everything for us, very pleased
Horrible
anna_e, Jan 2022
Packed in people and bags in a mini van without aircondition, really hot and tight. When we needed to go to toilet the driver just stopped at the roadside without even saying anything, no toilet or anything around. Changed buss 3 times, when we stopped someone just opens the door yelling at us “get out”. No explanation what is happening. Would not recommend this trip to anyone.
