Does the van cross to Koh Samui on the ferry?

How far is Donsak Pier from Phuket and how long does it take?

About 300 km, approximately 4–4½ hours depending on pickup point, time of day and weather.

Can you pick us up at Phuket Airport or our hotel?

Should we choose the Commuter or the Alphard?

Choose the Commuter (9–13 seats) for 7 or more people or lots of large luggage; choose the Alphard (6–7 captain seats) for up to 6 people who want extra comfort—it has less luggage space.
