Questions

Before you book.

Can you do night or urgent transfers?

Often yes, when the sea is safe. Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm availability right away.

How long is the speedboat from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui?

Around 30 minutes, depending on the piers and the sea. Koh Phangan to Koh Tao is around 60–90 minutes.

Can you take us to Koh Samui airport?

We land at a Samui pier close to the airport and can arrange the short land transfer to the terminal.

How much luggage can we bring?

Normal suitcases and backpacks are fine. Tell us the number of bags when you book so we send the right boat.

What happens if the sea is too rough?

Your captain only goes when it is safe. If a transfer cannot run, you get a full refund and we help you with the ferry or another time.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Rain alone does not cancel a trip; strong wind and waves do. Your captain checks the sea every morning. If we cancel because it is not safe, you choose a full refund or a new date, and we tell you by WhatsApp and email as early as possible.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes, free of charge up to 48 hours before departure: a full refund or a new date, subject to availability. Within 48 hours of departure, or if you do not show, the booking is charged in full. Refunds go back to your card within 5–10 working days.

Is Safari Boat a licensed, local operator?

Yes. Safari Boat is operated by The Lawana (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in Thongsala, Koh Phangan, holds Tourism Authority of Thailand licence 43/01467, and has been Thai-Australian owned and running island trips since 2006.
