A very long trip but worth it if you have the time, energy and want to save some Bhat
We were picked up at our patong hotel at 7 am and after a few more stops were driven to a roadside area where we waited for about 35 minutes. Luckily there was a 7/11 nearby. We were picked up by a big bus and driven to the pier. On the way we stopped for brunch at a small joint. When we reached the pier we were given tickets for the ferry. 1 leaves at 1:30 and the other at 2. We hustled and caught the earlier one. The ferry takes about an hour and 25 minutes. Once you reach the pier you can either take a taxi for 650 or shared transfer for about 200 bhat per person. You can negotiate and we talked out open taxi guy to 500. By the time we reached our hotel it was a little past 4. A really long day the alternative is to fly but it's the same price as a one way ticket on a low cost airline to India.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a practical account of your journey. We are glad you felt the transfer was worthwhile, while recognising that the waiting and connections made for a long day. Your comments on the travel time are helpful for setting expectations. Oh-Hoo

Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket?
+
Included: Air conditioning minivan/coach and high speed catamaran; and Basic travel insurance. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket?
+

What languages is Koh Samui: High-Speed Catamaran and Bus Transfer from Phuket offered in?
+
